I just happened to listen to Dorn's Nerdist interview earlier this week and he repeated it there too. He is credited as: ""Mary Tyler Moore Show, The" (1970) playing "Newsroom staff" on something titled "Michael Dorn's Filmography" at http://www.beakernet.net/worf/bio.html, but repeated many times throughout the internet multiverses. He was one of the three guys typing away in the background that Mark mentioned, getting us into this MTM off-shoot. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
