Throw Joanne Worley in there, and you've got a party! Did I tell you about the time over at Merv's when Orson took a swing at Peter? Years later, Orson said nobody else could break two of your ribs while begging your pardon in three different languages. They loved each other like brothers. Like Cain and Abel, those two, I swear.
Dr Z’s description of Carrot Top - “Your starting to look like Vicki Lawrence’s reflection in a puddle and it’s terrifying the children”- (S2E7) was equally accurate and hilarious 😂
I absolutely love that you had Svengoolie on. I grew up watching him (and some guy named Rich Koz...maybe a cousin of his...😄). This guy is a Chicago legend, and I'm glad he's still going strong.
Looking back on that list. Hmmm, I haven't seen _any_ of those. Except LBM, recently. Now, a mug with those titles, as a list would be totally marketable. Go for it. MUGS
1970, oooh spooky times, I was lucky enough to have a b/w tv in my room and I loved Svengoolie. Watched many black and white movies, well even the color movies were b/w. I think that makes them better.
Dr. Z that Ghoulardi reference brought up all kinds of memories of me and Bob Goulet hanging in the valley with Ernie Anderson at some EST retreat slash orgy when he pulled out a luger he had acquired from the set of Hogan's Heroes , Good times my friend good times.
Only if your 5-year-old daughter tells you she wants a Bush Baby for her birthday present. (Ya gotta think back to '68 to get that one.) edit: I first thought it was "Best videophone call on a show this side of the Berlin Wall."!
I’ve been watching Svengoolie for many years, sometimes on Saturday night. Good interview Z Man. I call him Z cuz we go way back, before he got the degree.
I bought one of these Dr. Z mugs when the last episode came out. I just got it this past Saturday. I like it, it was just odd that the inside smelled of mandarin oranges, pineapples, maraschino cherries, coconut and marshmallows. 🤔
🎶 When you’re watching tv, 1973, that’s Svengoolie. When the world seems to shine, 1979, it’s still Svengoolie. (Svengoolie) Horror, scream, science fiction dream… 🎶
Anxiously awaiting the episode with the true master of Horror, Count Floyd of SCTV's Monster Chiller Horror Theatre fame. What was Woody Tobias Jr. really like in person? Where can I get those $29.99 3D glasses? Ooh kids, that's scary!
A few folks mentioned hearing the Dave Allen At Large theme...I also love the other bits of stock music, which I'm sure was used in the Stereos and Such skit in a National Lampoon album...
The greatest horror movie is obviously My Dinner with Andre. What's even more terrifying is that they're making a franchise reboot called, My Intermittent Fasting with Gwyneth Paltrow.
I flip channels too much, I must have watched 6 or 7 snippets of "My dinner with Andre" before I realized it was NOT a comedy, (and after the Princess Bride I kept waiting for Andre the Giant to show up)
@@stevereber3358Well if it was André the Giant, the dialogue would've been mostly unintelligible. Which... actually fits with the woo-woo theater person talk nobody else can follow.
Dr Z , me and my brother had recently became fans of the show keep up the good work. I'd like to see you interview Ace frehley ,Alice Cooper, Dana carvey, martin short. I would probably watch you interview a custodian,thougn. This is my favorite show.
This was really good. Even with the TV deal it was really good. I would have liked to have seen this go for a half hour. Just killing it! I still don’t know what to feel about Rusty. I know he’s the sad sack second banana but there’s a tension there, like he might snap at any moment. Maybe he just needs a bar stool… Well done!
I have that model Zenith TV i saved from my parents house. Except mine was a black and white. I guess that makes me the target audience except my t-shirt size has a few more X's in it.
I'm thinking of starting a gofundme site for Rusty to get a Costco membership. I think he'd really enjoy it. I don't know how to do this, but I can dream of a happy Rusty. I can dream.
Dr. Z needs to be on Svengoolie's show, it would be good publicity for Hanging with Dr. Z. Unfortunately he probably doesn't have the money for the air fare.
Eeyeahhh, that last one, in the Jason Alexander episode, kinda stopped the show dead in its tracks. Reaching for an awkward pause is a tricky proposition at best, a near death experience at worst. It's a little meta and a luxury for this little show.
Svengoolie meets Dr. Z sounds like an actual title from the Universal horror genre 😂😂
"A dramatic reenactment of The Aristocrats" is its own kind of horror.
And a janitor's nightmare
@@solitaryman777 He's gonna need some backup, that's for sure.
SNAP!
Svengoolie is the only guy keeping rubber chicken jokes alive. :)
From Izzy Rizzy's on south Pulaski. Now I feel old.
@@princeofcupspoc9073 could be Ninos pizza on south Cicero
@@righteousgreek2161 or in Berrrr-wyn!
Lewis Black is still hanging out with a rubber chicken
Dr. Z, you're like Peter Ustinov, Richard Pryor and Peter Fonda rolled up in a rug, all trying to get out. Loving it!
Throw Joanne Worley in there, and you've got a party! Did I tell you about the time over at Merv's when Orson took a swing at Peter? Years later, Orson said nobody else could break two of your ribs while begging your pardon in three different languages. They loved each other like brothers. Like Cain and Abel, those two, I swear.
Maybe just his crazy hair, but I'm seeing Chuck Heston in this Daddy-O.
That’s a thruple that any cat can dig.
"Elizabeth Taylor underwater." HAHAHA! I have never heard a more accurate description in my life!
Dr Z’s description of Carrot Top - “Your starting to look like Vicki Lawrence’s reflection in a puddle and it’s terrifying the children”- (S2E7) was equally accurate and hilarious 😂
I had the great good fortune of growing up with Svengoolie in Chicagoland…
Dr. Z- you are doing God’s work.
Was he a good father, or should we just wait for the movie?
Who is G-, oh you mean the Cat Upstairs.
@@daclyde Bada-bing!
When listing the top-hat wearers, I was hoping to hear Dr. Demento get a mention.
Or The Bone Jangler
I have watched Sven since his very first episode on WFLD 32 Chicago.
Holy HELL! Svengoolie! I feel like im watching channel 32 in 1989! Yay!
I flew Trans-Fux Air from LA to NYC. Racquetball, hot tub, Lazy-Boy. It was the best 14 hours of my life!
I absolutely love that you had Svengoolie on. I grew up watching him (and some guy named Rich Koz...maybe a cousin of his...😄). This guy is a Chicago legend, and I'm glad he's still going strong.
Growing up without cable tv, Svengoolie was one of the few things outside of Saturday morning cartoons I had to look forward to.
Bill Shatner once said, kiss me you fool. I had to tell him, stop it you savage.
He once said to me 'kiss my ass'. I had to wait for the train to stop
Wow, a subtle reference to "The Ghost And Mr. Chicken" in the end credits. I may have to buy a t-shirt just for that.
Attaboy, Luther!
Best show on any platform, anywhere! Dr. Z is the best!
Dave Allen At Large theme inserted on the airline ad ⭐️
Love the Zenith on a cheap tv stand
Rusty is spot on with his choice of horror movies, I would also add “Little big man”
Looking back on that list. Hmmm, I haven't seen _any_ of those. Except LBM, recently. Now, a mug with those titles, as a list would be totally marketable. Go for it. MUGS
Oh Doctor Z, you've elevated the art of talk show from par excellence to sublime! BRAVO!
The Berwyn Burbank connection.
Did ya know that Mighty Joe Young (1949) was played by a first cousin (twice removed) of Dr. Z, sadly he was uncredited for his role.
I knew that
1970, oooh spooky times, I was lucky enough to have a b/w tv in my room and I loved Svengoolie. Watched many black and white movies, well even the color movies were b/w. I think that makes them better.
"Like Elizabeth Taylor underwater..." Dr. Z, you are a brillionaire!

best video phone show this side of the berlin wall
Only if your 5-year-old daughter tells you she wants a Bush Baby for her birthday present.
(Ya gotta think back to '68 to get that one.)
edit: I first thought it was "Best videophone call on a show this side of the Berlin Wall."!
@@ryomichael wtf is a bush baby, seriously kid I got moon business to attend to
Berwin has a wall?
I want to buy T-shirts and mugs but you don't ship overseas. Come on Dr Z! Let your International viewers get in on the good stuff.
This is the show I would stay up too late to watch if that were still a thing
Don't forget Slash is also at the top hat shop too!
Marc Bolin too
This weekend I was watching "A Day At The Races" and I noticed how much Rusty resembles Harpo Marx.
Andy Dick in the credits really got me
I watched Svengoolie back when he waz the Son of Svengoolie. I feel old typing that.
One of the coolest guest decisions ever for a myriad of unestimable but intensely satisfying reasons.
I’ve been watching Svengoolie for many years, sometimes on Saturday night. Good interview Z Man. I call him Z cuz we go way back, before he got the degree.
I'm here for the random Gamesters of Triskelion references.
Dr. Z really has some zingers in that area.
And a well placed reference it was.
This show really is worth every quatloo
So glad he mentioned Ghoulardi
I bought one of these Dr. Z mugs when the last episode came out. I just got it this past Saturday. I like it, it was just odd that the inside smelled of mandarin oranges, pineapples, maraschino cherries, coconut and marshmallows. 🤔
LOVE THIS EPISODE!!! Sir Graves Ghastly was my weekend host growing up but Svengoolie is the GOAT!!!
Dana sent me down a rabbit hole with the reference of Ernie Anderson then that lead to the WTF interview of Paul Thomas Anderson.
Having played at the Smokehouse in Burbank a few times, the reference to it here was much more enjoyable than actually being there.
Dr Z had his bio facts straight! I've watch Sven (Jerry, then Rich) since 1970! Over half a Century! They need to get some new movies.
🎶 When you’re watching tv, 1973,
that’s Svengoolie.
When the world seems to shine, 1979,
it’s still Svengoolie. (Svengoolie)
Horror, scream, science fiction dream… 🎶
That coffin joke was fire 🔥
Anxiously awaiting the episode with the true master of Horror, Count Floyd of SCTV's Monster Chiller Horror Theatre fame. What was Woody Tobias Jr. really like in person? Where can I get those $29.99 3D glasses? Ooh kids, that's scary!
Plus, the theme from The Dave Allen Show during the Fuxley commercial. And vestigial creature growing out of someone, a la Manitou. Nirvana.
Also: Leon Russell at the Top Hat and Mascara Store.
I love the Donruss reference for the shirt. I still have my odd rods card collection.
This is not a joke we are really selling this stuff
I’m positive that 7-year-old me had a dream just like this while stuck at home with the flu.
I have the flu right now and I KNOW I'm dreaming.
Holy shit, this man heard my idea out. I fuckjng love this show
Just ordered two shirts. I can't wait to rock it!
A few folks mentioned hearing the Dave Allen At Large theme...I also love the other bits of stock music, which I'm sure was used in the Stereos and Such skit in a National Lampoon album...
Nearly enough quatloos on my frequent flyer card for a gratis post-racquetball dip in the Trans-Fux hottub.
So glad we have a show like this again...Dana is GOLD.
The 3 coolest cats in the biz in one show...it's a cool explosion.
“He looks like Elizabeth Taylor under underwater!” 😂
That was HILARIOUS!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Forget all of those big-budget superhero films. This is the greatest crossover of all time.
The greatest horror movie is obviously My Dinner with Andre. What's even more terrifying is that they're making a franchise reboot called, My Intermittent Fasting with Gwyneth Paltrow.

😂😂😂This show makes me happy to be alive!
I hope everyone watches the credits. There are some great ones near the end.
i love you for noticing
I loved the Ghost and Mr. Chicken joke in the credits!!! Keep it up.
So glad they called out Gerry G. Bishop. I remember watching the original Sven with my sister when I was a preteen.
Mr. Sardonicus scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.
Two idols on one show
Y'all do yourselves a favor and wait for the post-credits sequence.
If anyone could pull off being the grandson of Svengoolie, it would be David Dastmalchian!
Risk Managment - Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney. 🤣🤣🤣
Shitty Monday made gold by a new Dr. Z release!
Been looking for a name for my sailboat. Ill need to see if there are any other Svengoolies in my marina.
That ending was pretty spooky. I haven't been that scared since I used that Porta Potty after Linda Blair.
Love Svengoolie !! Thanks Dr. Z !!!!
Ron Ashton-William Shatner imbroglio JFC 🤣
The Meeting of The Minds I've Always Needed💥😵
Now if we can get these two with Weird AL Yankovic, that would really be something! :D
he was certainly more entertaining than Howie Mandel !
I'd pay good money for a book on dating advice by Rusty
2:23 Gotta say I'm with Rusty in this one, Doc.
The king of Late Night
Best guest ever!
Dr Z , me and my brother had recently became fans of the show keep up the good work. I'd like to see you interview Ace frehley ,Alice Cooper, Dana carvey, martin short. I would probably watch you interview a custodian,thougn. This is my favorite show.
I think it would be great if Dr. Z interviewed you.
I adore that Dr. Z adores Svengoolie
Perfect episode to drop on a gloomy day in Los Angeles!
Why isn't this on Adult Swim? A perfect fit for that Space Ghost void!
Truly.
I agree with Rusty's horror movie list. I would have included Annie Hall, Five Easy Pieces and the Graduate. Scary stuff.
This was really good. Even with the TV deal it was really good. I would have liked to have seen this go for a half hour. Just killing it!
I still don’t know what to feel about Rusty. I know he’s the sad sack second banana but there’s a tension there, like he might snap at any moment. Maybe he just needs a bar stool…
Well done!
You should interview Tangella.
Dr. Z? 😮 Jane Fonda was not in The Turning Point.
Anne Bancroft and Shirley MacLaine
Dr. Z was on acid at the time. he doesn't remember anything.
Ron Cey as the Penguin. Tommy Lasorda as Paul Gauguin.
And Jimmy Wynn as The Toy Cannon
K: Joe Besser
M: Shemp (to get Uncle Caleb's inheritance)
F: Christine McIntyre.
You're a hardcore Stooges fan if you get all of those references.
I have that model Zenith TV i saved from my parents house. Except mine was a black and white. I guess that makes me the target audience except my t-shirt size has a few more X's in it.
Love the show. Love it.
Love your show Dr. Z!
Can't go wrong with the classics.
Love this! DOC Z!!
I appreciate the Doctor talking to Andy Dick in his jail cell. It humanizes him somehow.
I'm thinking of starting a gofundme site for Rusty to get a Costco membership. I think he'd really enjoy it. I don't know how to do this, but I can dream of a happy Rusty. I can dream.
The Cabinet of Dr. Z!
By season three I’m going to get a good handle of Dr Z’s sense of humor fully.
I love you Dr Z! Don’t bite my nose off. ❤
Holy deep cuts.
"Now, I have a predilection for films about apes . . . "
Rusty looks 20 years younger with that dye job
Dr. Z needs to be on Svengoolie's show, it would be good publicity for Hanging with Dr. Z. Unfortunately he probably doesn't have the money for the air fare.
Surely he could afford the remote on a 19" Zenith.
I’ll pay
Surely Dr. Z could get a deal on Trans-Fux airlines. They're a great sponsor.
The cat upstairs can make this happen!
I seen that studio, it's by the trailer park on balboa.
No Rusty's Riddle? My day feels incomplete, much like the riddles themselves.
Come to find out, that's exactly what Rusty's mistress said right before they broke up in the restaraunt.
Eeyeahhh, that last one, in the Jason Alexander episode, kinda stopped the show dead in its tracks. Reaching for an awkward pause is a tricky proposition at best, a near death experience at worst. It's a little meta and a luxury for this little show.
