Here's a segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop.

In the early days of the show, SYT consisted mainly of voiceover announcements for the movie, which was eventually expanded into full appearances by Svengoolie. Though it's from after that era, this clip gives you a...

Here's Part 2 of a Son of Svengoolie Special - "The Worst of Svengoolie" featuring Jonathan Brandmeier ("Johnny B") who had recently joined WLUP FM 98 - The Loop.

This part features Johnny B and Sven introducing the listeners as well as Buzz Kilman smoking the Hancock Bong. The first word is bleeped out in Sven history as Johnny says (I think) "What'er you nuts doin' in there?".
