Video Footage of Early Steve Jobs TV Appearance Prep Surfaces

by


Electricpig.co.uk points to a recently-uploaded video showing a young Steve Jobs preparing for what seems to be his first television appearance.

The fidgeting Jobs is clearly nervous and amazed by the experience, revealing a side of the iconic CEO not seen in his polished public appearances in recent years. Jobs was clearly not feeling well for the appearance:

According to the YouTube submitter, the video is believed to have been shot in approximately 1978 as Jobs was preparing to appear on San Francisco television station KGO.
