Wally!  Wally!

 

Hell Yes!

[Brandon]

Amazing

[Stradling]

Fantastic. Will his daughter be there?

[LBHalos17]

Awesome!  "You stupid, idiot!"  Wally rules!

 

We went to see Wally interview GWAR back in '91 or '92... Hilarious how clueless Wally was about pop culture, and even working in television.  It was a great show that entertained us for a long time though!

I remember walking around the Mission Viejo Mall, and he was in front of the book store doing a book signing. No one was in line. I'm not sure if the bookstore even knew he was there.

Dude brought cool to public tv.

Dudes show was the best. When I was a kid it was on at midnight and all the commercials were 1-900 talk to provocative chick ads.

The only show where he'd have a pastor, terrorist, Nazi, and Jew on the stage together.

And when he was wrong or fumbling he would get the crowd to yell Wally or kick them off the stage. Amazing. The third scene in the video is awesome...."Listen to me buddy! This is my show!"

Awesome.  He really had no talent, but that was part of the fun.

[Tank]

Ludicrous!!!!

[AngelsLongBall]

YES YES YES YES!

Is there any chance that someone could record this for those of us outside of the KDOC market unable to view this?

 

I got an opportunity to go to a couple of his tapings, and it was always a blast.

 

I hear people say that The Colbert Report was "innovative", however I always felt that it was knock-off of Wally George.  Not to mention the idea that I always took Wally George as a latter day Andy Kaufman, skewering the audience that supported his stances relentlessly.

 

To me, when I was growing up, late afternoon programming was Wally George leading into KDOC's Music Video Request show (I can't remember the name off the top of my head).

I loved David Kennedy, his sidekick.   Awesome.  I don't think you could cast a guy any better than that dude.   SAG/AFTRA Minimum.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Getting hammered and going into those (what were they Wednesday's tapings) was awesome.

 

They need the complete Wally DVD.  I'd buy.

[Lhalo]

This is great news!

I always liked when Rick Dees was on the show.

Appearance by Sosh on Wally!!!

Sitting next to Sax yelling the phone number.

[HaloFan85]

Wally had a serious cult following back in my high school days.

You ruined my day by mentioning Rick Dees.

I've gotta see this video

[TobiasFunke]

Jealousy is oozing out of me just knowing that a few of you on here were in the audience at some point in time

 

Still need to get a Wally George t-shirt

[VariousCrap]

He was the original Tea Bagger.

I read an article after he died about how they had his funeral at the Crystal Cathedral because they expected tons of people to come and only 20-30 people showed up.

If you google Steve Sax on Wally, Sosh is sitting front and center. Screen grab and post here and that's my new avatar.
