People in the news Garagiola will rejoin ‘Today’ NEW YORK (AP) reviving the “Today” show, NBC said Tuesday that Joe Garagiola, a familiar face from the show’s past, would join Bryant Gumbel and Deborah Norville as a co-host. NBC also hired Faith Daniels, co-anchor of the “CBS Morning News” and news segments of “CBS This Morning,” to anchor “NBC News at Sunrise” and the news segments of “Today.” Garagiola was a host of the show from 1969-1973. He will return to the show in June. The network also announced that Dick Ebersol, Who played a leading part in changes that preceded the “Today” drop into second place, is giving up his job as senior vice president in charge of “Today.” He will stay as president of NBC Sports, the network said. Ebersol came into the turbulent “Today” picture last year, and is widely held responsible for the controversial shift in which Norville succeeded 13-year veteran Jane Pauley as the show’s host in January. Since then, the once-dominant program has run second in ratings to ABC’s “Good Morning America.” NEW YORK (AP) A “glitch” waylaid Joan “Jody” Carson’s efforts to get more money from former husband Johnny Carson. Mrs. Carson, who married the comic in 1949 and was divorced from him in 1963, was trying to obtain $120,000 a year from Carson in court Tuesday. She said she cannot live on money he provides her under a 1970 agreement But Justice Phyllis Gangel-Jacob noted that Mrs. Carson, mother of Carson’s three sons, was married to ad executive Donald Buckley for about six years after she divorced the “Tonight” show host. Mrs. Carson married Buckley 15 days after signing the 1970 agreement that gives her $13,500 a year until 1999 whether she remarried or not The judge asked Mrs. Carson’s lawyer whether support “should survive remarriage.” “She was remarrying three weeks later. It’s a little glitch in the case,” the judge said. Lawyer Raoul Felder never answered the question, and the judge reserved decision. • LOS ANGELES (AP) Franklyn Seales, a stage and television actor perhaps best known as the finicky business manager on the “Silver Spoons” TV series, died Monday at age 37. Seales died at his family’s home in New York City of complications from AIDS, his sister, Deborah Richardson, said. Bom on the Caribbean island nation of St. Vincent, Seales studied at John Houseman’s Acting Company in New York in the early 19705. Between 1982 and 1986, Seales played business manager Dexter Stuffins on the NBC-TV sitcom “Silver Spoons,” in which the late Houseman played a stoic grandfather. His other elevision appearances included “Hills Street Blues” and “Amen.” Among his motion picture credits were “The Onion Field” and “Southern Comfort.”

JOE GARAGIOLA Look who’s back

NEW YORK (AP) Mike Wallace says he was treated for depression and thought about suicide during the Westmoreland libel trial five years ago. In an interview that aired Tuesday on WNYW-TV, the CBS correspondent said he kept the treatment a secret from his colleagues. “Depression is something you do not want to talk about,” the 71-year-old Wallace said. “The reason I’m talking about it now is so people who are looking in will be aware of the kind of thing that can happen. It is a sickness.” Asked if he thought about suicide, Wallace responded, “Sure.” But he said he never made plans to take his life. Wallace was a co-defendant in Gen. William Westmoreland’s 1985 libel suit against CBS for reporting that the general deliberately falsified estimates of enemy troop strength during the Vietnam War. Westmoreland settled out of court. • NEW YORK (AP) Frank Sinatra brought the house down but had to sit down on the job to do it. “When you get to be my age, you got to sit down once in a while,” Sinatra said, pulling up a stool and crooning “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered” in front of a sellout Radio City Music Hall crowd that gave him several standing ovations. Sinatra, 74, sang for nearly an hour Tuesday night, pumping his fists, jabbing his finger and joking with fans who kept calling for “New York, New York” that he was going to sing “Secaucus, Secaucus” instead. He credited “My Way” with “doing more for my career than just about any other song,” but recalled hating it at first. And as a huge backdrop of the Manhattan skyline was lowered to the stage, Sinatra closed with “New York, New York.” • HUN 11NGTON, W.Va. (AP) Celebrity divorce lawyer Marvin Mitchelson saw a man stricken in a courtroom and resuscitated him. “I looked at him, and frankly it looked like he was gone,” Mitchelson said Tuesday of the man, accountant David Atkins. “I just tried the best I could and gave him CPR for four or five minutes. Finally, his eyes fluttered, there was some movement and he regained consciousness.” Atkins, 60, was treated at a hospital and released, said his brother-in-law, Dale Greene. A doctor said Atkins’ condition may have been caused by new blood pressure medicine, Greene said.
