John Barbour

John Barbour is known as "the godfather of reality TV". He created, co-hosted, co-produced, and wrote 'Real People' the first reality show, which was number one on NBC for three years during the early 1980's. He originated the 'AM' show in Los Angeles, was the first newscast movie reviewer for KNBC, where he won 3 Emmys, was film critic for LA Magazine for a decade, won a Golden Mike for journalistic commentary, and was a successful stand-up comic in night clubs and on television.

For 30 years, he worked to tell the story of former New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison, the man who tried to bring Clay Shaw to trial for his role in conspiring to kill John Kennedy. Barbour succeeded in the mid 1990's with his award-winning documentary 'The Garrison Tapes!'.
