  • Carlos from Chicago, IlBowie was playing the lead in the Broadway production of "The Elephant Man" when he first saw the Uncle Floyd Show. Incidentally, one of Uncle Floyd's more legendary musical guests were the Ramones.
  • Laura from Eatontown, NjThe second series of corrections comes from David Burd, who played Artie Delmar on the Uncle Floyd Show for many years. In David's words: "The Uncle Floyd Show was never on local access cable. It was always a commercial production, that is, it made money. Local access does not allow advertising. Floyd gets upset when people refer to the show as public access because it implies that he's some kind of a nut who wants to be on TV so bad he'll work for free. The TV show was always a business, not a hobby. Also, The Uncle Floyd Show was an hour long for a certain period of time, but the show ran 30 minutes for most of its 4,000+/- episodes." Thanks, David!
