Superhost! Gimme Dat Shoe!!!

[jigglar]

I like how you can see the shoelace dangling at the top of the screen before the guy 'caught' the shoe from mid-air.:o)

[cyberzonie]

Loved to watch Supe in Youngstown OH on Saturdays.  This show got me hooked on Godzilla and science fiction movies.....good times

[mrt57rn]

Can't believe I found SuperHost after all these years!! My son loved this show, couldn't tear him away from the TV when Supe came On!! From Pgh, PA, WUAB was the 1st out of town station we got back then. Watched the Convoy skit, LMAO...still hilarious after all these years!!

[zalewskimm]

This was lke the first cable channle Pittsburghers coud get and I loved this show every Saturday. The guy was hysterical just to look at. Loved his Fat Whitman imitation! Thanks Jethro for posting this!

[mrt57rn]

@zalewskimm I'm from Pgh, also. This was the 1st station back then, WOR came next. My son loved Supe's On, so did I....LMAO watching these videos after all this time..priceless!!!!!

[IshMelamaid]

Wow! Weren't Satuday mornings the greatest back then. Cartoons on all morning, then Superhost all afternoon. Man, I wouldn't mind going back in time for one weekend. Anyone care to join me?

[drwatson58]

[Mrshoujo]

The bit of music at the start of this rare clip is called the Clinkerated Chimes from the album "Musically Mad."

[Dunes]

"GIMME DAT SHOE!" That's so darn funny!

[DrPureblood]

I use to watch Supe when I lived in MI.

Love SUPE!!!!!!

[tribeisone]

WOW, All I can remember about this show was him calling someone & he spun a wheel. The caller has to tell super host who was the person the wheel landed on!!! MEMORIES!!!

[ductapevything]

@tribeisone that was called the prize movie with john lanagan

[PatrioticPirate]

omfG... SUPERHOST!!! I used to love this guy!

[stevenfudd]

Brings back old memories. Thanks!

[serenityofreason]

My brother and I still say "gimme dat shoe: to each other...

[chipsc7]

I used to watch this show back in 1977 and 1978 and maybe 79. I lived near Pittsburgh, but was able to get WUAB out of Cleveland, OH I loved watching the monster movies on Super Host. What memories.

[ktho511]

wow, what memories.

Just hearing the intro music when I was a kid, I used to get all excited, knowing I was about to watch the Three Stooges and a Godzilla movie.

[kpmurphy62]

OMG I loved Supe!

those movies were the best for a satuday after noon

[greedofraggle]

This is just a WUAB thing right?

[drhakie]

I remember watching Superhost on saturday afternoons with my granps, thanks for the memorys!!

[waygonedaddy]

I actually used to watch this with my grandpa as well. Hadn't thought of it in years.

[OctoberWytche]

And the popcorn was usually Jiffy Pop, right 1more? That was the most fun. :D

[HumanityIsFailing]

This is why Cleveland ROCKS!

[kpm62]

OMG this was the greatest!!!

did you know the studio was in a bowling alley ?

and the recording booth was next to the bathroom

no one could flush when the show was on

LOL

[couchpotatotheatre]

[MessBug]

Jethropu, Did you work at the set of this show? My mom and dad did. Please Respond

[doforanimals]

Wow. Haven't seen this in a zillion years. Thanks for posting!!!

[OpenArms81]

Used to watch Shemp,all the time On SuperHost,what memories.

[1more4theroad]

20 years, where'd they go? 20 years, I don't know...

More like 35 years for me. Gotta throw Hoolie and BC in there, a Chef Boy-R-Dee pizza, some popcorn and some kool-aid, and we were good all weekend! sniff sniff Where did it all go??

[Malridge]

I know that's right! I was trying to remember was it 25 years...30?? Wow. Time just went flying. (like our host. lol)

Great memories of these.

[toeknee31]

This is beautiful.

[DoctorScissors]

It's been forever!!!

[casheasy]

Thank you for posting this. I loved Superhost growing up every saturday afternoon. Thanks again

[darkguardian1314]

Watched him every Saturday on WUAB channel 43 while growing up. He did evening news updates and is now happily retired in Oregon I believe. He and "Barnarby" are good friends. They don't have many personilities for kids on TV any more. Thanks for the memories!!

[vjmlhds]

A mere mortal would not be able to take a pair of long johns, red boxer shorts, a cape, and some grade Z monster movies and become a legend. But Marty "Superhost" Sullivan was no mere mortal.

[tblue]

Good memories from a simpler time...the sound of a theremin, and a bad space movie from the 1950s..priceless.

[rpppolyp]

You know what's interesting is a few months back I was trying to remember Marty Sullivan's voice and his voice overs and when occasionally 43 would have in on doing the odd news casts. It's cool to hear his voice again.

[rpppolyp]

All the Godzilla movies... sniff... all the kids crayon drawings...

[jethropu]

Yeah, I know. It's amazing how many people faithfully watched Supe every Saturday. I was one of 'em.

Long Live Da' Shoe!!!

[AcroRay]

Superhost was one of my fondest childhood memories. I NEVER thought I'd see footage of Supe again. Thanks for keeping Supe flying!

[theride94]

That brings back so many memories of satudays
