The world's longest running pop culture podcast
People and things we’ve discussed on The Paunch Stevenson Show.
“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.
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.
What do you get when you combine a hit TV show, two kidney transplants, an assault lawsuit, and a 2003 run for the governor of California? Gary Coleman, VH-1’s number one greatest kid star!
In 2005, Christian Slater starred in the video game movie Alone in the Dark, was accused of groping a woman in Manhattan, and fell off a roof.
Even though Paul Reiser and Peter Falk’s careers are over, they both just starred in Reiser’s movie The Thing About My Folks (2005). Like you, we probably won’t watch it either.
