| | HIGH ROLLER 0300 - Wayne Newton |
 | | Wayne's first paying gig was at age five and, a year later, he performed on a daily 6:00 a.m. |
 | | A half-century after first performing on a radio program, Newton revisited the medium as shock jock Harold Wick in a guest appearance on "Ally McBeal." That came about as a result of Newton's attempt to redefine himself, to sell Wayne Newton to a younger audience, targeting a demographic group that includes his 23-year-old daughter, Erin. |
 | | Wayne mentions the cyclical nature of music and life, and how Erin, an interior designer living just a few blocks away from the Newton estate, now begs Daddy to take her to see some of his contemporaries when they come to town, bands like Chicago, the Bee Gees, and the Eagles. |
