A long-time staple on Los Angeles TV news, Putnam was in the reporting business for over 60 years. During the 70s, George had a short-lived nightly talk show with co-host, actor Mort Sahl. The show ended abruptly one night when George, the conservative, and Mort, the liberal, became 'too heated' during a political debate. Putnam has been called upon several times to appear in movies as a news announcer, thus infusing a sense of authenticity. George ended his career as a conservative radio talk show host on KIEV-870 in the L.A. area until shortly before his death. Hide
