The typeface seen at the end of the Reading Dynamics ad (describing where the course would be held) was from the first major CG system, Vidifont (in a typeface modeled after CBS News 36, in 28 and 18 line heights). Also, it did seem that Crazy Eddie was a major sponsor of WCBS's late-night offerings. And the ID voiceover was Norm Stevens.
@wmbrown6 I'm guessing so because Crazy Eddie has been on nearly EVERY Late Show video I've seen. Too bad that they were crazy enough to be fradulent many years later....
@DanZero77 - Plus, for some years Crazy Eddie sponsored Channel 2 News' slides-only, staff announcer-read "Early Morning Reports." Regardless of whether the newsreader was Dave Campbell or Don Robertson or Pat Connell (and so on).
@wmbrown6 I'd believe it, even when it wasn't late night, Crazy Eddie was just a classic New York fixture. I was too young to stay up during the really GOOD late movie years of WCBS and WABC with the older openings and bumpers, but I'd try to catch them more when the 90s rolled around, and then the newer CGI Late Movie graphics were used on WCBS (thanks for leading me to that video here too)
I don't know which is worse, the blue-turtleneck, or Steve's glasses.
