Superhost was a character portrayed by TV personality Marty Sullivan at independent television station WUAB channel 43 in Cleveland from 1969 to 1989. He wore a baggy suit, cape and red nose (like a clown version of Superman) to host the station's Saturday afternoon monster movie. ==Show format== The show would begin at noon with ''Supe's On!'', an hour-long warm-up to the movies, with two Three Stooges shorts, and usually a Laurel and Hardy short as well. Superhost would appear during commercial breaks, cracking jokes, showing skits, and talking to the TV audience. Superhost greeted fans with his famous "Hello, dere" (pronounced "dare") and follow with sketches like "The Moronic Woman" (a parody of ''The Bionic Woman'') "Caboose Supe" (a Boxcar Willie takeoff), and "Fat Whitman" (a spoof of Slim Whitman). His most famous sketch was a music video based on the popular trucker song "Convoy". He was also known for referring to the movies as "flicks" as in "Let's get back to da flick."〔(Sullivan interview - Utter Trash.net )〕 After ''Supe's On'', he would host an afternoon of films under the ''Mad Theater'' banner. Generally two films were shown, going from 1 to 4 p.m. The movies would be old horror films like ''Frankenstein'' or Japanese monster movies such as ''Godzilla''. As the 1980s went along, with ''WCW Worldwide Wrestling'' and other more contemporary syndicated weekend programming becoming available, the show began getting trimmed. First to the ''Supe's On'' hour (11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.) plus one movie (12:30 to 2 p.m) in 1985, then in 1987, the entire show was shortened to one hour under the ''Supe's On!'' banner, with Superhost appearing during commercial breaks during one episode each of ''The Munsters'' and ''Batman'' from 11 a.m. to noon. From 1988 until its finale in December 1989, the show was then changed to an hour of Three Stooges shorts (with a cartoon thrown in), and Superhost appearing during commercial breaks, all under the ''Supe's On with the Three Stooges!'' banner from 11 a.m. to noon (then towards the end moved to 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.)〔〔(NE Ohio movie hosts - Retro Junk.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Superhost」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
