Yes, he was everywhere in the 80s. Baseball...commercials...Mr. Belevedere...wrestling.
Here's his whole HOF speech. It's comedic gold. Keep in mind he has zero notes.

Indeed. Now see, that's one of the reasons why I love Hall of Fames. It's such a treat seeing them older and all that while you can still see what they do. This is one of the reasons why I was saying about Hulk Hogan & Jimmy hart, how long do people think they can still see them in person much less on TV

Bob Uecker was funny without trying. Comedians would kill for the ability.

Yeah, today's comedians that's supposed to be "so funny" pales so much to Bob Uecker. How about that Fresh Prince. Here's this St. Louis Blues history from Channel 5 KSDK

It's insane to think they used to play hockey with no helmets. Or goalie masks. Granted to sticks were much simpler back then and guys didn't unleash 100MPH slapshots. Still, it's crazy.

Also, that was cool seeing at the bottom of the screen by TBS Superstation logo - Mets vs. Braves

I can't imagine someone in their 70s or older these days and seeing some of the weird crap that's gone on. It must be like watching something from another planet.

Great Chipmunks, here's this small one from KDNL Fox 30 from the early 90s, I believe it's 1990 or 1991.
