It has been brought to my attention that today marks Rich Koz’s 40th anniversary portraying Svengoolie on television. From WGNRadio:
Chicago’s own Rich Koz celebrates 40 Years since he stepped into the role of Svengoolie… it all happened on June 16, 1979! Dave Plier, Rich Koz, Josh Plier and Executive Producer Jim Roche talked about Rich’s beginnings in television, ‘Son of Svengoolie’, his favorite monstrous films, history of his set and the return of ‘The Three Stooges’ to ME TV. For more information visit Svengoolie.com.
I guess it dates me but on the rare occasions when I think of Svengoolie, I still think of Jerry G. Bishop.
Anyway, happy anniversary, Rich!
