DeSaunier. EMS Live ....
**Jamming guitar and drum roll wrapping up**
Host- .....As
Johnny Gage on the 70's smash hit Emergency, Randy Mantooth unwittingly influenced the future of
EMS in the United States. Will USAR1 have a similar effect on urban search and rescue? I guess we'll
all have to wa--

Host-....coming on, and...we have up coming...
Host2- Randy Mantooth, the guy we were waiting

this momentary break..

Host- And we're back with EMSLive, I'm Darek DeSaunier with...
Host2- John Bignell...
Host- We...are VERY excited to have.. our next guest. He is... an
actor, director, writer and producer and..
Host- ....and now he's on EMS Live.
Host2- Sure
is..
Host- Did you watch Emergency?
Host2- I sure did.
Host- Excellent.
Host2-
Yes..
Host- I think...everyone did. I.. On the Firefighter dot com forum, I didn't get to
all the forums but.., almost, I think it was something like 57% started their career based on watching
that TV show.
Host2- Well, with 30 million viewers per week, I believe, it was extremely influential.
And, we welcome Randy Mantooth, now,.... to EMS Live.
Host- Welcome to the show, Randy.
RM-
Ah,, thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Host2- How do you wrap your head around the fact
that Emergency had such a profound influence on the EMS profession in the 1970's?
RM-
Well, I have to say that sometimes it's v-very *chuckling* difficult to wrap my head around that.
Uh.. ah.. Like I've always said, ah... y--, When we were doing the show... We didn't know that..
uh,.. We didn't know that we were having uh,..the impact that we were having on on- the uh, emergency
medicine america psyche.
We were just mainly kids, uh, complaining, mostly about how early we
had to get up and go to work!
And, uh.. but uh, the show. I think it- I think it dawned on
both Kevin and I, uh, once the show wrapped..., uh, when we realized that uh, when we first started
the show, there were only eight paramedics in California and they weren't even certified to do what
they were trained to do. And..at the- by the- time the show ended, seven years later, umm, uh,
most of America was between four and seven minutes away from uh, emergency medicine in the field
and I ..think it began to dawn on us ... Oh, well, we were ..kind of involved in a very important
show.
Host2- Modern medic-- modern medical TV shows have been around ..for....quite a while
but..., when you look at the advancements of the health care profession. What made this one so special?
What was...so different?
RM- Well, I-I-I.. think it was the fact that it..it was so brand new!
Uh, th-the concept uh, of paramedics just didn't EXIST...before that. I remember when I first
started the show, they told me that I was going to be playing.. uh,. Johnny Gage, ...uh,.. firefighter/paramedic,
the first thing I asked was..What was a paramedic? Uh,..Because I, uh.. had certainly had never
heard of it before umm and uh, in fact I even said, Is that like a -a doctor who parachutes on in?
Hosts- *laughing*
Host- I think a lot of people asked that question.
RM- Yeah,
well you know, eh, To tell you the truth, we weren't that *laughing* f-far off! Uh, w-we did kinda
drop in all over but, uh, out of helicopters every now and then, but, uh... I think th-that..it was
uh, eh, th- that concept, th- the fact that uh, it didn't exist before.
And I think what was
uh, also very instrumental in in.. uh, capturing the imagination of, uh, ah, of america/
*SNIP*
END Part One..
Part Two ===========
RM-....of the time, with the fact that..uh,
Bob Senator, the uh, creator and the uh,..executive producer of the show, wanted to make it as
real as the- as he could possibly make it, given, you know, given th- the time that we shot it in
the 1970s. And NBC was not used to, uh um, uh, having a show quite that real, on, eh, eh, you
know, their scripted shows and to delve more into the uh, into the drama and uh, uh, Bob said, uh,
the drama will follow. All we have to do is be as realistic as possible. Uh, in fact, his mantra
was , If it didn't happen, uh, uh, we don't do it if the Los Angeles County Fire Department doesn't
do it, we don't do it. If the Los Angeles County Fire Department doesn't use it, we won't use it.
And as a result, uh, it gave it, uh, a bit of uh, r-realistic uh, uh, taste to the show, th- that
uh previously had really not existed before.
Host- Randy we've got uh, oh, a number of people
in our chat room, who are just itching to ask you some questions. Ah, I think I'll start with the
training you received. They want to know a little bit about the training you received for the show.
RM- Well, we had to take the uh, the *laughing* paramedic course. Um, now uh, mind you, we
didn't take the written course, uh. And we were, we were just actors, that we kept telling them.
Uh, we were just actors. W-why do we have to take this course? And-and Bob, uh, uh, in his wisdom,
said, I don't want you learning all this stuff in front of the camera. I want you to know as
much as you possibly can, uh, before the cameras roll. So, uh, when you start to do an IV, I want
it to look real. When you, uh, when you use the paddles, I want, uh, that to look as real as possible.
And so, we- we sort of took the physical course, uh, uh, actually started an IV, uh, uh, on a
real brave soul who actually let me.
Host2-*chuckling*
RM- ...let me come within five
feet of him with a needle. Umm, but we were actually taking the courses and learning, uh, a whole
'nother language! Uh, it might've-might as well been Russian to me I- uh, but after a while you
get, uh, y-you get pretty comfortable with the language. You get pretty comfortable with uh, handling
a lot of the, uh, medical instruments and ah, and, as a r- and then- then of course, through the
seven years of the show, you really DID become very familiar with the, not only the- the uh, paramedic
uh, ah instruments that we were using, but, ah, being a firefighter, too. We were actually, uh, we
were the first people, ever, to use the uh, jaws of life uh, ah, ah-on television. In fact, I was.
It was th- I, uh, I've never h-held anything so heavy in my life. I- Uh, I remember uh, th-the
first time I used it. Uh, ah, I jammed it into the back of a door of a big semi truck...
Host2-*laughing*
RM-..and umm, it slipped off the lip. And literally sent me flying. I didn't even realize I was,
uh, it had knocked me down, until I was just sitting there with *laughing* this eighty pound heh,
piece of machinery laying in my lap, saying, What happened? Uh, uh, so we got to, uh, we got to
be on the cutting edge uh, of using, uh, a lot of equipment that was brand new then, which is pretty-
pretty old hat now.
Host- Well, uh, that's what made the show so special. The cutting edge aspect.
RM- Yeah. An-an-and, uh, at the time, uh, w-we, uh, w-when we were, when we were first introducing
a lot of this stuff, uh, uh, we were seeing it, actually before a lot of, uh, ah, a good majority
of the, uh, fire departments all over the United States, had never even seen it, heard of it, an-and
here we were, uh..
Host2-..using it...
RM- ... blessed with uh, with uh, all this cutting
edge technology. Ah, an- uh, of course, uh, the people w-who made this stuff, knew that they had
a national audience. And uh, so they quickly provided it. And a, *chuckling* and of course, Bob
said, uh, Does the L-Los Angeles County Fire Department use this? He said, well, no, they don't.
He said, well, you know, until they use it, we can't use it. And so, all of the sudden, Los Angeles
County Fire Department found themselves, uh, *laughing*..
Host-...getting lots of new equipment!
RM-....*chuckling*..with a lot of, uh, with a lot of donated equipment! Uh, an-an, uh, ey-uh,
And then we would, uh, we would actually be able to use it on the show at that point.
Host2-
Hey, a question coming from the World Without Borders chatroom. Ambulance Al is asking, Was your character
based on James O Page, the late, James O Page?
RM- Uh, no, no, He wa- well, somebody said that,
uh, that uh, the name of, and I uh, had just heard this a couple of years ago, that the name was uh,
ah,..my name was uh, umm picked, uh, at first it was gonna be James O Page/
*SNIP*
END Part Two Part Three ===============
RM- Umm, uh, and then James Page himself,
uh,.. Jim said that he didn't want that. And so, Jack Webb then changed the name to uh.. Johnny
Gage. But it wasn't based, on- on his, ah, on- on his uh, his character. Or, if it was, it was certainly,
uh- nn, it was news to me.
Host2- There's been a lot of ...seventies TV shows being made into
movies. Do you think Emergency will have a reunion or.. a two thousand *indistinct word*
RM- *responding quickly* No. That I can- I can say quite clinically, tha- that that, no, will never
happen. N- Nobody *laughing*..You know, I watched the reunion shows an-and all they do is depress
me...
Hosts-*chuckling*
RM- Ah,..*laughing* uh, nobody wants to see, you know, Johnny
Gage get out there and go, *imitating an old man's voice* Hey, Roy! IV D5W. * then in a normal
voice* uh, you know...
Host-*laughing*
RM-...Johnny and Roy... You just can't capture lightning
in a bottle. Don't even wanna try. Um, uh, we've w-we're not old enough, I mean, w-we're too
old to be paramedics now,..and, ah... Why would anybody WANT it? Uh, because paramedics now, everybody
knows what a paramedic is. And I wou- I think.. that it's seventy five percent of the people,
uh, out there, * sigh* listening out there are either paramedics, or, they have been, uh, uh, *chuckling*
rescued by a paramedic, or-or treated by a paramedic, so, the only other reason to watch a reunion
show was- would be to see how, ah,...how ah,.. Johnny and, uh, and Roy aged.
Host2- Now
one of our chatters wants to know... the favorite aspect of your ...character, the Johnny ...Gage
character.
RM- Well, I think it was the fact that.. uh, uh, they let me be funny. Ah, uh, and
just, uh, and just turned me loose on that stuff. Uh, ah, and I had a- I had a really good time.
I was, I was..having a ball doing it.
Host2- It certainly would be exciting. We're going to take
a moment, and we're going to talk a little bit about some of your future projects. And what's
coming up, uh, next. Can you hold the line for a moment?
RM- Ok,.Yeah, absolutely.
Host-
Great. And we'll be right back with... Randy Man(d)tooth..
COMMERCIAL-- I'd like to tell you about
an attacker. And how my friend survived. He was hit in the head by a stroke and left unable to speak.
He couldn't believe that it was actually happening and didn't know what to do. So he didn't get
help right away. And it only got worse. His left side got weak, and he was helpless. Thankfully,
someone realized what was going on, and called 911. If they hadn't, my friend wouldn't be here now.
If you're attacked by a stroke, call 911 immediately. The sooner you react, the better your chance
of your survival. I'm glad that he lived, but we're still praying and working on his recovery. So
if it ever happens to you or someone around you, get emergency medical help, right away. Don't try
to deny.. it's an attack by a stroke. This is Wil Downing, friend, of a stroke survivor. Strokes
attack African Americans more often. Find out why. Call 1-888-4-STROKE. Or visit w w w dot stroke

*Lively Carribean music and guitar*
Host- As
Johnny Gage on the 1970's smash hit Emergency, Randy Man(d)tooth unwittingly influenced the future
of EMS in the United States. Will USAR1 have..similar effects on urban search and rescue? I guess
we'll have to watch and find out.
RM-Well *chuckling* I certainly hope so. That's what we're going
to try to strive for. Um, uh, in the seventies, ah, uh, the paramedics w-, ah, was the new generation
in...the uh, ah, next frontier, so to speak. And uh, um, and somebody had approached me, actually
my partner, who is the executive producer of The Amazing Race. Um, ah, we were neighbors. And- nnn-
we still are neighbors, uh, in California, uh, , He came over and he said. What do you think about
doing a reunion? *laughing* And, of course uh, Kevin and I made a vow, y-you know, twenty years
ago, that we would never do a reunion...
Host-...sure..
RM- ...that we would let it,
let it, ahh, uh, be...And let everybody just remember it as it was. And, well, I said, no, absolutely
not. It would be like capturing uh * sighing*, lightning in a bottle and he said, well, there has
to be... And I, and I ..also said that, you know, the same thing I- I ..I had said before, that i-it
..just... eh- there's nothing new about paramedics, there's nothing that we could.. we could
bring to the table that would be, uh, uh, educational or- or entertaining. And um, and he said,
well, there has to be SOMEthing out there th-that's new and innovative. And- and of course, I had
still, uh, er..maintained a relationship with the Los Angeles County Fire Department and, uh, and
a lot of the firefighters and- and, uh.. So I went and talked to them and- and they all said
th-the/
*SNIP*
END Part Three

Part Four ============
RM- ...new edge, th-the new frontier, is USAR, urban search and
rescue. That it's it's really going to, uh,..uh, uh, h-have a real major impact on...ah, the
job description of firefighters. And, eh, o-once we looked into it, uh, we saw that, yeah, indeed,
uh, i-i-it is gonna have a major impact. And we saw the, uh, the training that they go through and
what they're training for. And, uh, we decided this....would indeed make an incredible show. Uh,
and it would also educate, uh, eh, a-as well as entertain, just like Emergency did. And, uh,
that's what we're striving for at this point.
Host2- And how close are we to seeing you?
RM- Well, you know, I don't know, I- I.. it's hard for me to discuss it because right now we're talking
to two major, uh, networks, and I- I- I wish I could tell you which ones they were...but I can't ,..uh,
uh, and so, we're hoping... that, uh, January, February and March, we're going to.. it's going
to finally come, uh, come full circle and we're going to, uh, probably know whether we're going to
get picked up, uh, to do a pilot or not. So, it looks like January, February or March, uh, right along
in there...we're going to have, uh, a major meeting. And, uh, w-what I think the hesitancy is uh,
for, uh, the networks, is that it is so expensive. Uh, it's an expensive show to do. Emergency was
very expensive. And as we all know, that w-with everything ....going the way of reality, because
it is so cheap to do, uh, and people do watch it. Uh,..
Host- I don't.
RM-.....literally..
Uh, uh, uh, ..uh, you don't?
Host- No, I don't like reality TV. Darek likes it.
RM- I'm
a.. well, good for you. Uh, you know, I ...because it really is hurting scripted drama. And um, uh,
and - and like I said, o-one of the reasons why w-we're meeting with such difficulty, is that it is
an expensive show. You have a lot of equipment. And to do, ur-urban search and rescue, to do U-SAR,
you really do have to have major events, um, in this day and age--that's what keeps people in front
of the television is ah, ehh t-the bigger, the better. And of course, with that comes a.. uh, a rather
steep, uh, price tag. But, they also know that, uh, ah, if it is, uh, uh...eh, even if it is expensive,
i-if it's a good show, and people watch, that investment will be paid back.
Host- Now I understand...you're
back with the L.A. County.. Fire Department, as you mentioned.
RM- Umm hmm.
Host-...You
did ride alongs for Emergency. Can you tell us about about your ride alongs for the U-SAR project?
RM- Uh, well, they been uh, they've been varied. Uh,..when we first started out, uh, um, th-
the..especially with Los Angeles County, they only had one USAR unit, and by the time they showed
up, the regular fire department who was there, already had things i-in control. Um, and so we got
a lot of cancellations. So, we were getting a little worried about that cause we thought, well, y-you
can't have a show about cancellations, uh, canceled calls. And then, as they started to.. increase
the money, and, uh, and of course, Los Angeles County is in ah, sitting in a really great position,
where they have the money to uh, uh.. t-to do this. They, uh, went and got, um, u-uh, three Black
Hawk helicopters..and converted them over to, uh, fire..w-what they call.. uh, the Firehawks.
|
|
|
RM-(continued)..And so now, they're acting as a support, uh, base for U-SAR. So, now all of the
sudden, uh, and they've increased, threefold, the, uh, the number of uh, uh..of units that, uh, that
are responding now. So, NOW the- the uh, the calls aren't getting canceled. They are showing up first.
And, uh, in.. of course, it's as, it's uh, it's as if the rescues they go on are as varied as ..as
the calls we went on for Emergency. And they go from the quite serious, to the ridiculous sometimes.
Uh, eh, i-it there's no END to ways *laughing* people can find to get themselves into a LOT of
trouble. Ah, and of course, after they're rescued, t-they become r-rather humorous. Ah, but when
they're not rescued, then it becomes, uh, it becomes a disaster. Uh, but uh, e-everybody should just
thank God that uh, there are people who train so hard.. These are almost like the Navy Seals of
the fire department. They train so hard and s- a-and and f-for every contingency, that when they
show up, rest assured, if they can't do it, I don't know who can do it.
Host- Now you mention...Black
Hawk helicopters...o-on your show. You're ...I understand you'll have.. paramedics on- on helicopters?
RM- Yes. Right, um. uh. On the uh, on the Blackhawk helicopters. They always have uh, two paramedics
on the show./
*SNIP* END Part Four
|
Part Five ===========
RM- ...itself. I mean on the- on the helicopter itself. Umm and so
once a four man uh uh..team of USAR members.. uh run in. And-and and uh, do the actual physical
rescue. And uh, a lot of them .. a good vast majority of them, are highly technical res- rescues.
Once, uh, they're secured, then uh, i-if,..if they're in need of paramedics, then the paramedics
were also, uh, uh.. the crewmen on the--on the Blackhawks, come in, stabilize in the field, and then..uh,
uh.. then USAR then evacuates them, umm uh.. either by conventional methods with ambulances, and
if they're in the position where ambulances can't get to them, then they will transport them as well.
So it's a- it's a basically, it's a team of four USARs, uh, USAR members. Uh, and then, uh, level
four firefighters, and then uh, Blackhawk helicopter uh, pilot, and then two paramedic, uh, paramedic/firefighters,
uh, in- in the helicopter itself.
Host- Now as the captain of this team, are you gonna be the-
the hard *ss or the father figure?
RM- I'm not entirely certain that uh- I'm actually gonna
be in it. Umm, being the executive producer and- and also one of the writers.. uh, I- I don't
know whether there's gonna be enough time in the day for me to actually be in this thing. Uh, e-
if I do do it,.. I may just actually be.. a Chief. Um, uh.. who comes in once a week and kinda..gives
everybody h*ll or- or- or pats everybody on the back. We haven't really decided. Our main.. our
main objective is to get it sold. Uh, it's not so much as a job opportunity for me as it is, as this
passion that I have of, uh, that I wanna see, um, uh, th- the credit given to firefighters and
paramedics and medics and- and- and EMTs, uh, t- to get it back to the forefront without doing it
in a soap op- on a soap opera level. Uh, I want it to be a procedural show. I so totally believe,
that uh, eh that's what, uh, America wants to watch. I don't think too many people wanna ..know,
you know, what your sex life is outside of the station, whether you're...a drunk and- uh, whether
or not you're an alcoholic and you're tryin to beat it. I -I just, you know, that's hard for me to,
e, uh, t- to think that that's what peop- that's why people turn ...that on. I think why people turn
on is they wanna see something that they've never seen before. They wanna be educated. What does
USAR do?.. Who does it? How do they train? Why do they do it? I think that's what people wanna watch.
Uh, there's enough, uh, you know.. uh, family and personal angst out there in other shows that
I don't think that, uh, it's really gonna serve any greater purpose having- having this show y-you
know, talking about the ..foilbles of, uh, of the people, in their home life. I think that they
just wanna see the.. what do they do at work? Sort of like Law and Order. Uh, you know, you don't-
you never go home uh, with these people and- and- and *laughing* view..their problems at home.
Basically, they're there to catch the bad guy and to try em and- and- and um, and put him in jail.
A lot of it, uh, ....a lot of these procedural shows are the same way. Ah, I just...just show
me what happens. And- and I wanna know who's doing it, uh, but uh, it's not that important to me.
Host2- Ok, comment from M.L.C.E. Good for Randy to create a show that does that.
I agree with you a hundred percent. It's good to see quality...as opposed to these..life's style dramas.
Just show me the technical aspect of the show.
RM- Right. Right. And- and- and show them in a-
in a true fashion and make the characters ..real and believable.
Host2- In a question coming
from John M, in our World Without Borders Chatroom, would Randy entertain scripts from paramedics
if the series take-- takes off?
RM- Uh, yes. O- of course. Uh, uh, I- you know it really would
depend on the writers on the show and the um, uh, who's actually gonna be the show runner. Uh,
but yes, of course, but uh, it can't be a show about paramedics, uh, eh, e- just about paramedics.
Of course, y- you can't do a show like this without having paramedics in it. But what it- what it
basically is going to really focus on, ..is rescue.......But, but, in answer to your question, ...absolutely,
I would. Uh,.. i- if somebody wanted to write uh, an unsolicted script, uh, I think uh, r- uh, I
think it would be written, and uh, and if there's, uh, value to it, I think that it would be taken
very seriously.
Host- *taking a breath*
*SNIP*
END Part Five
Part
Six ========
Host2- Well, Randy. We certainly appreciate you ...coming and joining us this
evening, uh, and I don't share the views of ..my partner here about reality TV shows so if uh, if
you need a partner ....*deadpan*
RM- * hysterically laughing and coughing*
Host2-.....for
The Amazing Race... You give me a shout...
RM-*laughing to tears* Well, listen, uh, uh. My-
my b- you know, *inaudible word* as- as I speak, I was watching it when you guys called. Uh, if
it wasn't for the fact that my partner and my, uh, and- and one of my best friends,.. He's the
executive producer on it, I wouldn't be watching it either. I sat down and I said, ok, 'cause I knew
I was going to have to miss um, uh, I think it was Third Watch, uh, not Third Watch. I think I
was going to have to miss, uh, West Point. And I said ok, I'll watch it. Uh, and I was sorta doing
it as a- uh, as a favor, and I got hooked on it. I got hooked on, uh, on uh, The Amazing Race.
But that's the only one I got hooked on.
Host2-*chuckling* All right, well, that.. I guess I
will..HAVE to believe you in that. But, uh...
RM- *telling giggle*
Host2-....those reality
shows are...quite addictive. You're right. As...
RM- Yes, they can be.
Host- I haven't
made it yet. I have not been addicted to it yet so.. I'm gonna have to work with ya, Darek, and--
Host2- All right...
RM-*sniggering*
Host2- All right. How about this..(To Randy) Who
do you think's gonna win?
RM- What? On this- on this new one?
Host2- Yep.
RM-
Uh, you know, I- I don't know because I just sat down and I just kinda sooorta got acquainted with-
and- and Screech uh, uh, Screech will not tell me. Uh, r, uh, by the way my-my partner's name
is Amil Washington, and he's picked up the nickname Screech over the years. And uh, and I always-
He calls me from the- from wherever he is, on the other side of the world, and I said, where are
you? And of course, *laugh* he can't tell me and- and uh, I say well, give me hints. Give me hints!
Host-*giggling*
RM-... and uh, he won't tell me ANYthing..so what- uh, Usually, at the
beginning of every race, he'll have a dinner over at his house and-- His wife.. and-and-and my wife
and everything will be sitting around the table and he'll hand out the cards.... and he'll say
ok, just by looking at their picture, who do you think is gonna win? Well, we've been doing this
for three years... I have NEVER picked one right.
Host- *chuckling*
RM-..In fact, uh,
the first year *laughing*..They were the very first ones to be eliminated. And so, I - I don't even
dare hazard- hazard a guess.
Host2- Now where can people find you now? You're ... on a
soap opera?
RM- (interrupting eagerly) Right now I'm doing, yeah, right now I'm doing- I'm
in New York, and I'm doing, uh, As The World Turns, uh, for CBS. And um, and I'll ...be doing that
for the foreseeable future. It's really great to be able to work, uh, uh,..you know, to be able to
work as an actor and uh, and still be able to concentrate, uh, fully on a- on a ...a show that
you're developing, uh. I couldn't- I couldn't ask for a better role right now.
Host- And
that's uh, all ...because you're a ..semi-recurring character? Is that right? You uh..
RM-
Uh, nope. Nope. I'm one of the cast.
Host- Oh, ok. Sorry.
RM- I'm one of the cast.
Host-..I'm uh, ....I'm not up to date on my soaps. Host2- (at the same time) He's not up to date on
his soaps...
