Cobguy:
Gary Busey and Gailord Sartain blew onto the local stage in the mid 70's when Sartain hosted "Mazeppa's Uncanny Film Festival and Camp Meeting" on Channel 8 out of Tulsa, OK.
Sairtain went on to twenty year career with "Hee Haw" and, IIRC, played the Big Bopper in The Buddy Holly Story. Busey, of course, became Busey. But he was at his prime playing the football crazed coach, Teddy Jack Eddy, doing those sketches on Channel 8.
Seriously, in those days, guys would end Saturday dates early to be home and watch SNL and Mazeppa.
Go figure.
