Uncle Floyd

Uncle Floyd Vivino and his puppet Oogie

“Uncle Floyd” Vivino, pictured here with his puppet Oogie, had a popular comedy/variety TV show in the late 1970s and early 1980s called The Uncle Floyd Show. He also performed the jingle for Wild West City, a western heritage theme park and frontier town re-creation in Netcong, NJ. He still performs live in NJ almost every night of the year.

Boy George and Mr. T

Two cultural icons from the mid 1980s: Boy George, a gay singer, and Mr. T, a tough, jive-talking actor.

Boy George had several hit songs with his band Culture Club. Mr. T starred in the hit TV show The A-Team and a cartoon about children who do gymnastics. He also had his own cereal and pitied many fools.
