This is a guy I grew up with on Friday nights....Ernie Anderson aka
Ghoulardi....he later became the *voice* for ABC nationally.

" The Ghoulardi character caught on right away, and with good reason.
Anderson's cynical nature and comic timing, mixed with his beatnik jive and
great music from 50's radio, added the perfect tone to the station's
incredible collection of science fiction and monster trash hits. His show
became an important event to kids, to the extent that police reports
indicated a 35 % drop in juvenile crime on Friday nights. Would be
delinquents were watching Ghoulardi flail his arms around, knocking over his
pet raven (named Oxnard; it was stuffed), trying to keep his various phoney
hair pieces in place, and telling everybody to "turn blue!" and "stay sick."
His popularity led to an additional show on Saturday afternoons, and this
one even had a set, which allowed the crazed fiend to run around knocking
over walls and lighting firecrackers. He wore a full length coat, every inch
of which was eventually covered by buttons sent in by fans. Viewers also
frequently sent in their custom-made car and monster models, and home-made,
battery-operated "Rube Goldberg"-type inventions, so that Ghoulardi could
show them on television, and then blow them up with firecrackers! It was a
bit too anarchistic and anti-social for many parents, but the complaints
just helped the ratings. He also got a lot of flak for ridiculing other
local media stars, mostly newscasters and hosts of other kid shows. Since
one of Cleveland's top kiddie hosts (the one that talked to an invisible
parrot) was discovered walking around the lakeside in a scandalous state on
more than one occasion, one might well wonder which was the healthier
influence.

The films included the standard Roger Corman and Bert I. Gordon classics,
but even dogs like Satellite in the Sky and The Daughter of Dr. Jekyll were
tolerated just for the sake of experiencing Ghoulardi, who was often
blue-screened into the features. He could be seen running down the street,
dodging the atomic breath of The Giant Behemoth, or hiding out in the sewer
with Lon Chaney in The Indestructible Man. Whenever a plane took off, an old
newsreel of an experimental bi-plane crashing was inserted. When a
frightened heroine opened a door to face a monster, she saw instead a film
of an old toothless man contorting his face into impossible proportions (he
was the winner of a "gurning" contest), while "Pap-pa Oom Mow Mow" blared
from the TV speakers. Because of the exposure, "Pappa Oom" became a hit
(again) in Cleveland; the Rivingtons even appeared on Ghoulardi to lip-synch
the single and returned to the studio to record an even more astounding
follow-up, "Mama Oom Mow Mow." (NOTE: No doubt thanks to the inclusion of
"Pappa Oom Mow Mow" in the movie E.T., the Rivingtons' only album, Doin' The
Bird, has been reissued and the group has re-formed. Watch for them in your
town.) "
