After the show was cancelled after 18 episodes....
they eventually ended up on NBC's SNL and were renamed the "Not-Ready" for Prime Time Players.

I always enjoyed this clip with him bitching about technical difficulties....
My favorite is this photo of Howie and a friend of mine Tom Lux....
Tom met him out in Washington back in the 80's.....
I always thought that this was a funny shot....two complete opposites.
HUGE NASCAR Fan.....
