Happy Trails! Colbert’s Gentle Sendoff To John Meiklejohn…

One of the best cameramen in the business retired last night, and Stephen gave his 11 year friend this send off. I’ve heard that as far back as 1966, they were telling JMJ stories.

This reminds me of the send off David Letterman gave to our friend, and CBS legend Dave Dorsett. Like Dave, I suspect John may be back from time to time to “fill in”. Happy Trails! -Bobby Ellerbee

    He was awesome. He never touched the camera unless absolutely necessary.

    When I started at WOR-TV in September of 1966 they were telling stories of the legendary John Meiklejohn.
