We have been talking about him so why not a thread. If you don't know, he is this goofy guy with a really cheap set who had a local tv show. It was great because the set would fall down around him. There was tons of inside jokes and tons of great bands.

Do you remember- his puppet OOGIE? And how the camera had to pull away from his face so you wouldnt see his lips move?
- a guy named Netto that worked on the show.
And some of his skits- cowboy charlie

-My all time favorite skit: cuppy the cup head
He had a doll that wasw suspended from a string and it had a paper cup for a head. He would play the piano or talk to a band and all of a sudden, this cup head would come down from the cieling and start dancing around.
The show sounds stupid but it was funny as hell!

Let's see there was:
Uncle Floyd
Looney Skip Rooney
Scott Gordon
Artie Delmar
Netto
They added a woman to the cast later on, I can't remember her name.

Puppets:
Oogie
Bones Boy
Mrs. Prune Face
Igor

Skits:
Flo Jo the TV Clown
Charlie Chin

For a short while, Uncle Floyd's show was actually on network TV, but it wasn't the same. It would come on after Saturday Night Live, on NBC, but he got a new set, and the spontaneity wasn't there. They did get a better grade of bands though.
I did see

In the late 90's, he revived the Uncle Floyd show on New Jersey Cablevision. I have a few of those shows on tape. Floyd would do this segment called "Uncle Floyd's New Jersey" where he would stand in the parking lot of a convenience store in Paterson or W

I do remember when he went to regular tv after snl. Skinnytie is right. It was not the same. When he had rotten sets it was so funny. The cheese of the show made it funny. He would be so unprofessional talking to the people off camera and thats what made

Don't forget "Corporal Punishment" and "Ku Klux Clam". Wait a minute...

Anyway, the thing that I remember most about Uncle Floyd was that... he just would not go away. He had his heydays, then fell a bit, but would no
