: Yes. That's the one. Also, Knievel was on
: Mike Douglas and I believe they have this as
: well. Check out this video. This might be
: from the same source. I believe. William
: Shatner was on Mike Douglas back in 1978 and
: mentions Evel Knievel here. It was the time
: when he was talking about during the jump
: out of the airplane without a parachute.
: Kristy McNichol mentions Evel in this video.
: Interesting because she was on the show when
: Evel was on a few years before this and
: mentioned that she was a big fan. Mike said
: to Kristy you're a big fan of his aren't
: you? Kristy said " Are you
: kidding?" Of course . She asked him a
: question about how bad he was hurt after the
: Snake River Canyon jump and he talked about
: that.
:
: Many of the reasons you don't see some of
: these videos is because of the legal matters
: with Evel and his name. I know two people
: who had Knievel videos pulled off and ended
: up losing the whole Youtube account. It
: didn't make them happy. It was because of
: the lawsuit that that guy filed against
: Evel. It's a mess. Gary and Robert Schreiber
: went after ABC and ESPN last year because of
: the videos of Evel they used in two shows.
: If I had to guess I believe Evel did in fact
: sign over his name because he needed the
: money. In fact when he went on Merv Griffin
: in 1985 he said that he had sold his film
: rights. So it's a big big mess. I don't
: believe Gary and Rober Schreiber own every
: appearance Evel made. I don't know who owns
: what. Does ABC Sports own the jumps or does
: Evel? It's a mess so just about everyone
: that has Evel footage is keeping it away
: from the internet. That's why I'm not
: sharing any of mine as of yet. I just had
: the Holy Cross jump put to 3/4 tape and also
: dvd but the problem is when I went to the
: jump they had signs all over the place
: saying no recording of any kind. While that
: concerns me to a point I'm more concerned
: about all of the lawsuits going on with
: Evel.
:
: Anyway, check out the link with Shatner
: taking about Evel
