The “Uncle Barky Show” premieres in Dallas
At 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 1st, Ed "Uncle Barky" Bark, DMN veteran and all-around T.V.-o-phile, premiered his new talk show at Stratos Bar and Grill in Dallas.
After 26 years of critiquing D-FW media for a living, Uncle Barky has stuck to what he knows best. His inaugural guest was Gordon Keith, of 1310 "The Ticket" fame and host of his eponymous late-night show, the only one around these parts. Back in March, Ed appeared as an in-show critic on The Gordon Keith Show, falling asleep, offering insults and drinking beer while Gordon interviewed everyone's favorite non-sequitor mayoral candidate, Zac Crain.
In the videos below (presented, filmed and edited by the occasionally camera-challenged Pegasus News staff), Ed and Gordon discuss how the latter got his start, how to deal with flaming hate mail, where D-FW media is sorely lacking, and so on. Also, Gordon talks about Jerry Jones' reaction to being imitated, and Ed sings an awkard love song.

Ed talks about "projectile reporting," a.k.a. news anchors who act like "used car salesmen." He makes picks and pans for D-FW nightly news.
