Wally was a guilty pleasure of mine. I discovered him on a UHF station in S.F. Saturday night/Sunday morning. Most memorable was his confrontation with self-described "rape rock" vocalist El Duce (sic) of The Mentors. The singer wore his trademark leather mask, which Wally wrested off his head while the crowd chanted "SICK! SICK! SICK! SICK! SICK!"

I might have even had a beer while watching his show at one time or another.

A requirement as I recall.
Great show. Is there still a channel 56?

I believe it's still out there in some form or another, but I'm not certain of it.

Rest in Peace, Wally. You were a pioneer and you were entertaining. Thank you for bringing a smile, a wink and lots of laughs to so many.

Rush's first TV shows reminded me of Wally George.

If he knows Christ, he is free. Probably could not handle the shock of what happened to conservative principles the day Arnold announced.

Ahh damn. Good old Wally. I loved his crazy antics.

Interestingly, I got a chance to talk to Wally briefly during a visit to the KDOC studios about 13 years ago. Off camera, he was all smiles and surprisingly laid back.

I got a chance to see how they did some of their productions. It was pretty funny: absolute chaos until about 5 seconds before going live, then things just seemed to magically fall into place. I get the impression a lot of television is like that.

We'll miss you Wally. Little hint: don't tell God He's sitting in your chair. :^)

Rush's first TV shows reminded me of Wally George.

Rush's show was better, but at least network executives had the sense to put Wally's show on at a normal hour. I think it used to be on Saturday afternoons on Channel 56 (Pre-cable days in our house).

I remember watching the Wally as kid and thinking this guys makes sense on many of his views, but why does he have to be outrageous? No one could take him seriously after he went into a tirade.

Wally was used on the now defunct "Alan Thicke" show as a vehicle for Alan to ridicule conservatives. He'd go off on a tirade while Alan would make faces or imitations behind his back. Problem was that many times the crowd would agree with Wally and really get behind what he was saying and cheered him on. Poor Thicke thought they were cheering him n istead. ONe time he finally got it, you could see the smile actually leave Thickes face as he turned and realized Wally was getting the cheers. That was the last time Wally was invited to be on the show-LOL
