King Diamond on the Joe Franklin Show in 1987
Posted on 11th November 2013


One of my favorite things that has ever happened ever is when the great King Diamond appeared on the Joe Franklin Show in 1987. Joe Franklin is one of my favorite humans and- I’m proud to say- a personal friend. And while I hope to one day be personal friends with King Diamond, I’m pretty crazy about him, too. The odds of King Diamond or anyone even remotely like him appearing on an American TV talk show today aren’t very good at all, but 1987 was a magical year and somehow it happened. It’s a delight to watch King Diamond and Joe Franklin talk. They are both perfect gentlemen and I really believe Joe when he says he is a big King Diamond fan toward the end. No mention of Satan somehow, though, but you can’t have everything. Also, one of the other guests is a “rapping cop,” which is great for everybody. Anyway, watch it now and have an even better day than you might have already been having.

Don’t break the oath,
