Views: 14961

Here's another segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop. By this point, if the clapboard is of any indication, the SYT title had been eschewed in favor of Svengoolie.
This segment (#2-2) is from Show #59 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.
In this segment, Svengoolie is presiding over "The Go...
