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 once again brings up his cable puller William Tyler, who performs with his dummy, Lester, ending with a lively country tune. Colin James sings "Five Long Years" from his self-titled début album. At the Super Dave Car Safety and Heavy Equipment Area, Mike confides in us that he and Fuji will be playing a prank on Super later on, because Super loves blooper shows but he's never been in one. Super gives a tour of the area, showing various heavy vehicles, and the simulator which shows what happens when you don't wear your seatbelt, another simulator to test reaction time, and a device which wakes you up if you doze off driving.
