Inside Edition is a syndicated news program, on the air since January 9, 1989. It was originally similar to the programs Hard Copy and A Current Affair, but now more closely resembles Entertainment Tonight or The Insider. It was created by John Tomlin and Bob Young for King World Productions (now CBS Television Distribution, which also distributes Entertainment Tonight and The Insider). The show was originally a mix of tabloid crime stories, investigative pieces and celebrity gossip; now it has become a mix of investigative pieces, entertainment and celebrity news, and human interest stories. Steve Kamer is the announcer of the show.
The first anchor correspondent of the program was David Frost, who was abruptly replaced after approximately three weeks with Bill O'Reilly. The current anchor correspondent is former Today anchor correspondent Deborah Norville, who took over for O'Reilly in 1995.
A video is currently circulating on the internet regarding Bill O'Reilly when he anchored Inside Edition. The video shows him undergoing a profanity-laced meltdown because he was unable to understand the teleprompter. O'Reilly has dismissed the video as a joke for his former co-workers. Today it is still not known if this video was recorded live due to error or on file in the studio itself. The moment was parodied by Alexander Armstrong on the UK show Have I Got News For You.
Besides providing news, Inside Edition also does investigative reporting on controversial subjects. For example, reporter Matt Meagher examined claims made by Peter Popoff, who sells "Miracle Water."[1] Meagher confronted Popoff who slammed his Porsche door on the reporter.
Inside Edition has been officially renewed through the 2011-2012 season and is usually the #2 highest-rated syndicated magazine program behind Entertainment Tonight.[citation needed]
