...Wally George.

I visited a taping of Wally's show once in the late 1980's when my company was being courted as a potential advertiser on the station. We watched the show from the edge of the set and then got to mix and mingle with Wally and his "guests" in the green room afterwards. They all gathered on sofas with refreshments to review the show, and even the "evil guests" were very good friends of Wally's. One told me that they, as actors, liked going on Wally's show because it was unscripted and helped them practice their ad-libbing skills. He also told me they thought it was a helluva hoot for them to do the show. From that point forward I looked at Wally, and others who came after him, completely differently. But Wally was unique.
