“Stairway to Stardom was a public-access television series that aired in New York City from 1979 through the early 1990s. It was described by NPR as ‘an amateur talent show many see as a low-rent precursor to American Idol.’ Taped ‘in what appeared to be a freshly carpeted Staten Island basement,’ the host Frank Masi would bring on amateur singers, dancers, actresses, and comedians to perform. Describing the show, The A.V. Club's ‘Found Footage’ segment claimed that ‘without exaggeration, it was one of the greatest shows ever to be on television.’”

@jalefkowit I miss spectacularly bad production values and hokey ideas. YouTube doesn't have this charm.
