There aren't many posts on here about these two guys, so I thought that this should have its own separate thread.

MrCleveland on here introduced me to these guys and let me tell you all about them for those not familiar.

A little bit about the show (also known as a brief introduction)

This show ran on a television station in Cleveland, Ohio called WJW from 1979 until 2007 and they were primarily known as late night horror hosts, but also did sketch comedy as well.

Some notable features of the show:

Music video parodies such as Gitarzan, San Francisco, and Junk Food Junkie

New Talent Time, where local Cleveland artists would perform some sort of stunt that was offbeat

Believe it or not, there's a connection to Drew Carey as well! :cool:

One week featured a songwriter by the name of Robert McGuire and he had a song that would soon become famously known as the theme song to the first season of The Drew Carey Show. That song is called Moon Over Parma.

Thanks MA...

...and that is real amazing...Big Chuck and Lil John started as Ghoulardi with Ernest Earle "Ernie" Anderson.

Here's a sketch with Ernie Anderson, Tim Conway, and Big Chuck...alongside with a sketch....

I try to go to Ghoulardifest every year since 2014. I didn't go last year since my dad is in his autumn years...and I dunno if I'll go this year.

That’s a shame you couldn’t go last year.
