Maradona and Pele launch prime time talk show

Diego Maradona headed a ball with fellow soccer legend Pele as his top guest, hobnobbed with movie stars and entertainers and made a splashy debut as a TV talk show host.

Pele, whom Brazilians claim as soccer’s greatest player of all times, strummed a song on a guitar and Maradona, claimed by Argentines as the greatest in the sport, sang the lyrics to a tango amid flashing strobe lights and the applause of a raucous studio audience.
