On 27. November, 1978, Gene Simmons appeared on one of three pilots for The Toni Tennille Show.
Gene Simmons’ solo album had debuted in September, and he strides onto the set in full demon costume as the orchestra plays “Radioactive”, the album’s opening track. What follows is pure Kiss magic: Simmons playfully dabs some of his makeup onto Tennille’s cheek, setting the tone for a charmingly flirtatious interview that balances humor and ease.
The Toni Tennille Show aired 104 episodes between 1980 and 1981. Tennille, a musician herself, was one-half of the pop duo Captain & Tennille, known for their 1975 US number-one hit “Love Will Keep Us Together”. Beyond her duo success, she contributed vocals to tracks by iconic artists such as the Beach Boys, Elton John, and Pink Floyd. In 1979, she signed with Casablanca Records, the same label as Kiss.
