i've ever done in my career, because you could make it up. and you did have that feeling of, you know, nobody's watching and i've never felt closer to viewers and my audience than i did on this audience. >> you started this show. what was it like in the very beginning? >> we had a basemt office because the grownups wouldn't let us come upstairs i think until they made sure we could be on the air for a week. it was dank and dark and there re expos pipes and it was -- you know, then we went to -- all the grownups would let us come upstairs and practice. peter jennings had his desk right here with the working news room behin him. this whole space you use as a studio was a big working news room. and we practiced and rehearsed at that big desk. and our executive producer, working. it's just not right. heas like, aaron, take o off the jacket. aaron, roll up your sleeves. >> they were always twisting form. that's what's beautiful at "world news now." if you think about the ethic of

may have... certain... issues. 2... 30... 70... if only everyone had this issue. no matter what challenge they face, easter seals is here for america's veterans. i can't tell you how excited i am. the wait is over. time to reveal our surprise guests to people who really need no introduion. most of you know exactly who they are. they are distinguished to be the only two people to anchor this phenomenal broadcast and "good morning america." kevin newman spent a year and a half in this studio, a time in which canadians like himself held an iron grip on the "world news now" anchor desk.

>> so true. >> and lisa mcree, famous for never sitting behind a traditional anchor desk. she and aaron brown, they were the pioneers, the foundiding motheand father, team of "world news now." we welcome them now, kevin and lisa.. i n't tell you, we have been awaiting your arrival. >> oh, look how old he is? >> you were 12 years old when you broadcast, weren't you? >> i had a lot more hair, too. >> holy cow. >> what do you guys think? you're back now. >> you know, it was a brand-new show for me. aaron brown d i started the show with our executive producer. i'm still friends with both of them. i really -- i love them. you know, they will be friends forever. and we just made it up as we went along. and none of the grownups were watching. it was like the mice were coming in and moving the furniture around. >> we still feel like that today. >> you know, those people upstairs, they're not watching us. >> it really was the -- i think the most liberating broadcasting

because u could make it up. and you did have that feeling of, you know, nobody's watching and i've never felt closer to viewers and my audience than i did on this broadcast. >> you started this show. what was it like in the e very beginning? >> we had a basement office because the grownupsps wouldn' let us come upstairs i think until they made sure wcould be on the air for a week. it was dank and dark and there were exposed pipes and it was -- you know, then we went to -- all the grownups would let us come upstairs and practice. peter jennings had his desk right here with the working news room behind him. this whole space you use as a studio was a big working news room. and we practiced and rehearsed at that big desk. and our executive producer, david borman was like, it's not working. it's just not right. was like, aaron, take off the jacket. aaron, roll up your sleeves. >> they were always twisting form. that's what's beautiful at "world news now." if you think about the ethic of internet broadcasting, that you

do roll up your sleeves, you are much more comfortable in your skin and much more of a person, less of an authority anchor, i think that'she stuff that was pioneered here. >> did you thinkhe show w would last that long? >> nothing lasts that long. >> i know. hard to believe. >> it does a great service for people who are newsmakers. when aaron and i started the program, it was the primary season of the '92 election. there was this unknown guy from hope, and he was happy to come in and be on tv for 15 minutes straight without anybody breaking in for commercial. >> really? you had him here? >> of course. >> one of the things i'm probably most proud of is s when we were here, we actually pushed this broadcast out over the internet. so, "world news now" is actually the very first television newscast ever on the internet. so, we threw it out there. i still remember sitting at the desk, which was there, and seeing the signal come back. oh, my goodness, like, at that time, yoyou never w your audience. today you see your audience, you

hear from them. >> how was the format fferent from back when you started to today, what would you say? >> aaron and i started the morning papers. nobody did that. we had papers from -- you probably remember. i'm pointing at our director nole. >> anybody remember newspapers? >> when wowould go tthe fax machine. we would go to the fax machine and the guys from "the dallas morning news," an actual fax, "dallas morning news," pittsburgh, whatever it was, fax us the headlines and hold them up. >> and there are those ideas. we used to do this thing calleled dare news. it's still a great idea where you would take a newscast from another country, subtitle it. we would run their news, which was always enlightening to see -- imane today the kind of story you would get from jordan, for instance, of the syryrian refugees. >> and how different they cover it. >> it was a story about polka on the air, and big mouth says -- like, within a week, it took a week for mail back then, there were still ponies that brought

huge piles of these polka lovers who are hating me. i had to do an on-air mea culpa and then barry mitchell shows up. >> just to torture you every week. >> that is funny. and 's still around. we could never lose him from "world news now." that would be a sad dayn "world news now" history. >> 4:00, all alone and you're not wearing pants. "world news now" is making everybody dance. >> what would you say before we head out -- what would you say is probably your favorite memory of what you remember most about your time here on "world news now." >> the camaraderie, i think. it was just everybody working a hard shift, but loving each other's company so much, and the freedom. >> i have to say, you know, some of the people we work th have become just life-long friends. i remember christie colbin, who o worked -- of course, she got married at my house in los angeles. you know, because you bond in a way that's just so different, and nobody really understands your pain. i don't want to ---- i don'tant

people by saying it's like being -- there is a bunker mentality about t it. and that's something you share. and i value those friendships. >> kevin, you've just writteten a new ok out, too. >> i have. the interesting thing about it is it's sort of in retrospect. i'm looking back at the time i came here and how much, you know, very busy life, whether it's in broadcasting, whateverer is, what that takes from your children. but the interesting thing is, i've co-written it with my son. it's this memoir of the same period of time from two very different perspectives. if you're a really brave part in 15 years, asksk your kito write a book about how you did as a parent because it's -- it gives you a chance to do better. >> thank you, guys, so much for joining us. you're watching "world news now." we'll be right back.ching "world news now." we'll be right back. >> i'm alex trebek. if you're age 50 to 85, this is an important message. so please, write down the number on your screen.

paris saying that they heard from what they called a credible witness that he was on french soil, that's why they moved into this apartment along with surveillance of cell phones a and computers data but that did come as a surprise. he had appeared in propaganda videos in syria. he had believed to be -- he had been believed to be in belgium in january. then made his way back to syria and so if he had come back to france that would have come as a surprise to intelligence officials and also highlighted the big gaps in security here in europe and how easy it is for these european nationals, thousands of whom have made their way to syria to come back home and organize and carry out these attacks. >> okay, abc's alex marquardt live in paris. he's been coving the developments for the past few days. ail elect, thank you so much. in the meantime, we're getting a chilling look at one of the attacks as it unfolded in pas.
