@tsartodd actually, i was joking. i adore Ingmar Bergman's films and i adore this skit. i especially adore how OTM they were in imitating Ingmar Bergman.
Count Floyd's embarrassment at the end reminds me of Geraldo Rivera, trying to wipe the egg off his face, on live TV, when he didn't find anything in Al Capone's vaults.
@beaverpitt - Apparently, there was another Pittsburgh personality - KDKA-TV's George Eisenhauer, who played "Igor" in a movie series on that station, "The 13th Hour" - that was as much an influence on Count Floyd as Cardille, if not more.
ah, the days when there was talent on these sketch shows.. now days, they just read the lines if theyr lucky and pffft these old shows are better than now
This was a great clip, but can someone PLEASE find the clip with John Candy as Mr. Mambo with his inspirational message of "when life gets you down, you get up...AND MAMBO!!" It was up for a bit before but then it got taken down.
I agree. I don't know if anyone has that Fantasy Island sketch from SCTV,but i hope someone posts it. I thought John Candy as Tattoo was funny when he saw the visitors and started rubbing himself and Roarke went "Tattoo,what are you doing?" and he went "Sorry,Boss. I like Chicks" and Roarke went "Well control yourself" lol.
The funny thing is that this reminds of those so-called horror films that used to come on Showtime back around 1979/1980. They'd promise they would be scary and then when it came on, it was just like this.
@keef186 - That's nothing. On the very first "MCHT," which showed the first of many "anything but scary" films, "Madame Blitzman," the opening credits clearly stated: "With Floyd Robertson as Count Floyd." In fact, this installment can be found on:
There are some guys on my hometown public access channel that are this pathetically funny... and this is a parody of them, and of the late night horror hosts of the 60s and 70s.
SuBMiTV get your facts straight. SCTV was doing a parody of every bad show that was on local Buffalo t.v. stations that we all used to watch in Toronto in the '70s
too funny

As if Count Floyd wasn't spooky enough just being a vampire - he would have to terrify everyone by howling like a werewolf.

SCTV's "Fantasy Island" is the best piece of television sketch comedy ever made. Period. A close second is "Maudlin's Eleven".

Because Count Floyd is just that lame/desperate.
There are some guys on my hometown public access channel that are this pathetically funny... and this is a parody of them, and of the late night horror hosts of the 60s and 70s.
