David Frost

One of the most accomplished interviewers of the late 20th century, Sir David Frost was a British journalist and television presenter whose conversations with world leaders and cultural icons frequently elevated him from news reporter to news maker. He initially came on the scene as a satirist with the comedy series “That Was the Week That Was” (BBC, 1962-63) and “The Frost Report” (BBC, 1966). But with “The Frost Programme,” he displayed not only a talent for serious reporting, but a gift for generating hard-hitting and often controversial interviews with political figures and celebrities
