- A quite check of the credits of either the Super Dave shows (live or
- aninamated) will prove this true (Einstein is producer of the Super Dave
- shows). I was at three tapings of the show in Toronto, one of which
- featured none other but Tom and Dick -- long before their brief attempt
- at a comeback.
-
- I believe that Einstin was also a co-producer of the show Bizarre, which
- also taped in Toronto, hosted John Byner, and gave Super Dave his start.
- Wasn't Supe's first stunt a jump off the CN Tower? The first time I was
- that I was ROTFL, but then a lot of Bizarre did that to me in its first run.
