John Paragon is: Ramone Azteca!

[photobygil]

Very cool! I saw him perform this comedy routine in 1983, I think, when it was part of Elvira's Knotts Scary Farm live show during Halloween. Fun to see it again!

I met him in the '80's and saw his show. Funny guy.

[pretorious700]

This guy is hilarious.

[tracer740]

He was funnier yet in his role on Seinfeld where he intimidated Kramer and made him run down the street, leaving the furniture he was watching for Elaine. LMAO!

This is why I love YouTube!! An unforgettable classic!! I still say some of this stuff too and always brings a chuckle!!

[babydriver24]

[LadyEdgar]

the lyrics to that song are beautiful...especially the part about the books.

"mm, Barbara, you smell like warm grass."

My friends and I still quote lines from this show. John Paragon was hilarious.

He used to make appearances on "Welcome to the Fun Zone," too. I was just a little kid at the time. I couldn't find any info on him (and almost thought I'd imagined him) until the "UHF" DVD came out and Weird Al talked about him in the commentary track.

Was that Tracey Gold?

[DalGoda1]

I believe it was her. Could never remember her name. :)

[tedtrix]

Yes! It was Tracey, Carol Seaver from 'Growing Pains (1985-1992). This must be before 1984, even before 1983, because she looks about 12 or 13. That would make me about 9 years old.

I watched this 1 million times in the 80s. I had it taped on a VHS tape. Love it.

[condumb]

He was Jomby on Pee Wee's Playhouse.

[ednut69]

Ha he did performances at Knott's Scary Farm and he was HILARIOUS in the 90s!

[marythestewardess]

OMG, I SO REMEMBER THIS!!! Way funny! I don't know how you found this!

[Careiz14]

[0920197234]

[Luvanicebum]

Frickin Classic. Thanks for uploading!

A lost classic! I remember John Paragon doing Ramone Azteca on various shows. Back in the early 80s, ABC briefly had a show called the Half Hour Comedy Hour with John Paragon doing Ramone on there. Also in 1985-1986 was a syndicated show called FTV. It was a dumb show in which the cast would lip sync real songs and do funny versions of videos, but the highlight every week was a segment called "Club Ramone" with Ramone Azteca introducing various musicians, and Paragon was so funny as Ramone.

Sure enough is. Seems like there are a couple of other low level celebrities in the crowd too.
