Ol’ Doug also appeared in Nirvana’s "In Bloom" video (long version).
That’s some serious street cred.
DL was a customer of a place I formerly worked, in 2000, and they long timers there acted as if he had already been around a while.
I have seen Ms. Knight at Belk in the Asheville Mall. I followed her around a bit, but never said anything to her. Good Lord, she IS Gladys freaking Kinght, after all.
to SourcePlease – yes, Gladys Knight lives here. in Fairview, actually. she’s a regular at Tourist ball games. she’s had children in high school here. etc.
Can it be authenticated that Gladys Knight lives in Asheville?
Today’s Hendersonville Times-News (Sunday) has a good article about Doug in both print and online editions.
Sorry to go so far Off Topic, but I didn’t know where else to put this:
Cecil Bothwell has more to say about his firing from Mtn. X at his blog:

I’ve always heard Doug was a native of Spartanburg SC.
Did you make to Kenilworth for Holloween by any chance? They had some bangin’ pumpkins carved into amazingly intricate designs and I was looking for pics. . .
He lives right outside of the Naples area. I’ve been to his house in a business capacity. He’s been here longer than 6 months…more like 6 years!
i never knew! thanks for the background. guess we’re not so exclusive after all.
somebody else told us that his daughter had been involved in Flat Rock Playhouse productions in recent years past.
Hmm. I’ve heard that he lives in Hendersonville. But that’s local enough. 🙂
I was more of a Rusty the Bailiff fan myself…
Back in 2000 or 2001 he hosted a benefit show at Hendersonville HS in conjunction with the Apple Festival and it was mentioned in the Times-News that he was a local resident.
Llewelyn’s been in the area for several years, in Henderson or Polk County, I think. Rumor has it he interviewed for an anchor job at the mighty 13 a few years back, wearing a Mickey Mouse leather jacket.
His daughter does voice over work at Pro Comm Studios.
In January 2004, when Rosebud Video was still Segrof, I saw actor Will Patton renting some movies.
The lady behind the counter said he came in all the time.
I thought it was really cool at the time because I had only been here in Asheville for 5 months.
