The video is a hoax. Not only is the video and audio quality very good for 1980, but the interviewer is never heard, nor is the alleged program title ever stated.
The individual is conveniently unnamed in the video, but purported (in comments) to be 'Jacques Nietzermann', based on a photo of a newspaper clipping that 'believers' claim is a picture of the same guy (in which the deformed finger was almost certainly photoshopped). However, the newspaper article reports about a murderer who was captured in France in 1980, and not in California.
The actor was also retroactively photoshopped into other material to make it appear he's from 1980. (Not camera shy for a fugitive.)
Additionally, the video has only surfaced in 2012 among the '2012 end of the world' nutters, but the September 11 conspiracy nutters would have been all over this video if it were from 1980.
There's also a CD case laying in front of the carousel box.
