In the early '70s, thousands of kids across the country fell in love with Doug and Emmy Jo on their super popular show "The New Zoo Revue." Over 50 years later, those kids are all grown up, but the memories of The New Zoo Revue remain forever engrained in their hearts. One recently said, "I LOVED this show, and since I was an only child, I believed that Emmy Jo and Doug were my family in real life."
The days of The New Zoo Revue took Doug and Emmy Jo across the country, from Hollywood to The Whitehouse, working with many celebrities of the day. But how did a guy in a rock band and a girl from Kauffman, Texas, meet and start the love story of a lifetime? And how did this trendy Hollywood couple make it to Celina, Texas, a town they now call home?
In this episode, Host Ron Lyons sat down with Doug and Emmy Jo and found out what life was like on a hit show in the 1970s and what it was like working with a lifesize hippo, frog, and owl. Let's face it, not too many people can claim they became popular with costars like those! But don't expect a bunch of elite Hollywood attitudes from Doug and Emmy Jo. On the contrary, Ron discovered they are some of the most down-to-earth, authentic, and loving people you could ever meet.
Find out how a couple who found an early path to stardom has maintained a very successful marriage for over fifty years. They have a secret that they were willing to share! But there's so much more to Doug and Emmy Jo than their past successes; we know you will love hearing their story.
Host's Note: This episode of CelinaRadio.com featuring Doug and Emmy Jo is super special to me. I have rarely met people who are Godly, kind and have such a unique life story. I truly hope you enjoy this episode, and I feel beyond blessed to have met Doug and Emmy Jo. -Ron Lyons
