I'm not sure if he got it beacuse of the Odd Couple but I do remember his show. It was called Saturday Live with Howard Cossell. It was the original Saturday Night Live.

It premiered in September 1975 before the NBC show premiered. I remember my Dad had to watch it every Saturday night. My Mom and I would laugh at him because the show looked like crap.
