The TV Lineage of James DuMont
Original Airdates: Oct. 11-13, 2019
TVC 467.4: Part 1 of a conversation with noted film and TV character James DuMont (Treme, The Butler, Dallas Buyers Club, Stranger Things 2, Men of a Certain Age). Currently seen, along with Danny McBride and John Goodman, in the Sunday night HBO series The Righteous Gemstones, James also has a direct line to the history of television: His great-uncle Allen DuMont created the cathode ray tube, the picture tube that not only made television sets possible, but ushered in the entire industry of television itself—including the short-lived DuMont television network, the often forgotten “fourth network” that first made Jackie Gleason a star during the Golden Age of Television.
