Kirkham was employed in 1988 by Inside Edition as an anchor, where he interviewed superstars like James Brown, George H.W., Shrubbery and Chuck Norris.
Kirkham's addiction to crack made his professional and individual life disintegrate.
He was terminated from Inside Edition and other occupations, he also separated from his first spouse.
In the end, Kirkham accomplished sobriety and released the 2006 narrative "TV Junkie", an aggregation of self-recorded film during his medication use.

"I dropped to my knees and I cried, Kirkham said of the fire in the docuseries.
I cried because all of our footage was in that studio and I hadn't backed up anything outside the studio."
He was later blamed for burning down the studio to which he reacted:
"That's my retirement money that just burned, OK?"
However, the narrative appears to propose Exotic himself may have paid somebody to set the fire, as the recording lost in the fire related accident could have implicate him further.
