Super Dave

Super Dave is a Canadian/American variety show starring and hosted by the fictional character Super Dave Osborne. It ran from 1987 to 1991 on Showtime in the US and the Global Television Network in Canada. Super Dave was spun off from the sketch comedy series Bizarre, which featured Bob Einstein in recurring roles, including Super Dave. Super Dave made his first appearance on the 1972 TV series The John Byner Comedy Hour. Einstein then regularly played the character on the short-lived 1976 variety show Van Dyke and Company starring Dick Van Dyke.

Super introduces Roy Firestone from ESPN, who does impressions of celebrities singing the national anthem (with a huge portrait of himself in the background). The studio has taken two people at random, Eric and Amelie, from the audience and given them makeovers and new outfits, and they also perform a dance act. Super and Donald give a tour of the new Super Dave Special Effects Studio, demonstrating driving through a fake concrete wall, a fake gunfight, and finally the rain room, where a pipe grid overhead simulates a rainstorm.
