Its really interesting that this special is not listed on B.B.'s IMDB biography profile.
It is: The Elvis Conspiracy (1992) . Himself (host)He also did one on Marilyn Monroe that same year. I remember them both. -

Thanks, Signature free. I have been wondering this for the longest time. It seems that every website and person has omitted this from their memory. Wikipedia doesn't mention it and neither does E! True Hollywood story. I know it wasn't Bill Bixby's high point, but as a fan of his I'd still like to read about it.
Thanks for the link. -

Yes- he did. It was called "the Elvis Files". It was a show that explored the possibilities and theories that Elvis was still alive. He was the host, and interviewed people etc and there was a phone-in line to which viewers could report Elvis sightings etc..

I remember that. I think it was from 1991. Anyway it was funny but a year or so later I was watching Blossom and he must have added some inside joke because Blossom and Six were talking about Bixby on the show about the Elvis documentary and she wondered "Why Bill Bixby?" something about wondering why he would host such a show. The audience was laughing after they picked up on it.

It's funny you ask this because I just ask a similar question in the Shatner board:
http://www.imdb.com/board/20000638/board/thread/172088990
In my mind, it was Bill Shatner, but this thread has me doubting.
One thing that vividly stands out in my mind was 'exclusive video' of Elvis in the studio and then, for some reason, he stops recording to say something like this:
Elvis: Hey everybody, I just wanted to stop recording this here song to say I heard about President Reagan getting shot and I'm very sorry to hear that.
I was kid but still was like "wtf would Elvis do that?"
So, can anyone who remembers these vids recall such a moment?
I still think it was Shatnerbut who knows.
