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 Dave welcomes Tony Cox, head of the network, who is up in the box. He then holds the Super Dave Recollection Contest, where audience members watch a clip of one of Super's stunts, and win prizes for remembering a specific detail about the clip. Two of the clips feature the Super Dave Stunt School from BIZARRE. After the contest, Tony berates Super Dave for how he presents his show, much to Super's annoyance. Bobby McFerrin sings "All I Want". Super and Fuji present their new "Presidential Safety Vehicle" that allows the President of the United States to present himself in a parade. The vehicle features a seat enclosed in safety glass which is height adjustable, and the "Goodwill Hand of Peace" which is a giant hand that waves at the crowds.
