On this week's entries on It Was A Thing on TV, Mike, Chico and Greg look at daytime talk show spoofs, hijinks at a retirement home and isolation booths featuring men named Dr. Lee Franz! First, we talk about the ultimate spoof of daytime talk shows, Night Stand with Dick Dietrick.  Topics in this show include successes (and a failure) which came for most of the people behind Night Stand, the time there was an accidental wardrobe malfunction, and what happened when Mike wrote an e-mail to the show. Next, we look at one of the most recent entries on our list, The Cool Kids.  It was co-created by Charlie Day, it had brilliant writing and casting, and it was loaded with TV legends.  What could go wrong? Finally, Take a risk!  Take a chance!  Take a dare!  We double dare you to listen to this episode about the short-lived 1976-77 Goodson-Todman quizzer Double Dare (Not THAT Double Dare, the other one!)

Episode 39--Night Stand with Dick Dietrick

Tim Stack

I catch up with actor and screenwriter Tim Stack, who is best known for his roles on Son of the Beach and Night Stand with Dick Dietrick. Tim talks about getting his start in the business and working with improvisational comedy group The Groundlings. Tim explains why Night Stand is not on any of the streaming services and what talk show hosts gave him feedback on his role as Dick Dietrick. Tim wrote several episodes of My Name is Earl and even portrayed "himself" on the show. Tim guest starred on a number of TV shows included Seinfeld, where he played Kramer's optometrist friend Dwayne.
