Network Television Appearances

Only 19 years old at the time, Steve's national television debut happened back in 1978 when he appeared as a contestant on the original "Gong Show," the legendary NBC series created and hosted by game show pioneer Chuck Barris. Not only did Steve survive the dreaded "gong," his stellar performance wowed Barris, the studio audience and all three celebrity judges (Johnny Paycheck, Jo Anne Worley and Pat Paulsen), who each awarded him a perfect 10 score.
 

Steve's other TV appearances include "America's Funniest People" on ABC (runner-up winner), "Show Me the Funny" (Fox Family Channel), "Comedy at Club 54" (Comedy Channel) andYour Hometown America Parade" (Armed Forces Network).
