Timeline

1950

Much of the humor has a twist aimed at adults, in the style of shows by predecessor Soupy Sales (1950s-1970s), and later Pee-wee Herman (1980s).

The show featured character comedy, puppetry, some audience participation, musical guests, and Floyd's piano playing.

One of Floyd's puppet sidekicks – actually a ventriloquial figure – was named Oogie.

His on-air interaction with off-camera staff and sidekicks is somewhat in the style of what Howard Stern and Chelsea Handler would later do.

Local bands such as The Smithereens, The Shades, and R. Stevie Moore, along with such well-known performers as The Ramones, Tiny Tim, Benny Bell, Bon Jovi, Jan and Dean, Peter Tork, Squeeze, David Johansen, Blue Öyster Cult, Joe Jackson, and Cyndi Lauper also appeared on Floyd's program.

1951

Floyd Vivino (born October 19, 1951), also known as Uncle Floyd, is an American television, film, and stage performer primarily known for his comedy/variety TV show The Uncle Floyd Show (1974–1998).

Vivino was born in Paterson, New Jersey to Jerry Vivino Sr., a jazz trumpeter, and Emily Vivino.

He grew up in Paterson, Point Pleasant, Island Heights, and Glen Rock.

He attended Glen Rock High School where he produced a musical revue starring the school's janitorial staff.

Floyd began his live performance career working as a child tap dancer in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and began his broadcast career over a friend's pirate radio station while in high school.

Floyd Vivino is the older brother of Jerry Vivino and Jimmy Vivino, who were members of the Basic Cable Band, formerly known as the Max Weinberg 7.

Floyd is also the uncle of musical theater actress Donna Vivino.

1974

The Uncle Floyd Show aired in New Jersey and New York from 1974 to 1998.

It can be read as a children's show or a parody of a children's show.

The show made its debut on UA-Columbia Cable TV of New Jersey, now part of Cablevision, on January 29, 1974.

Beginning in November 1974 it aired on UHF-TV station WBTB-TV, Newark, broadcasting on channels 68 and 60, which later became WTVG, then WWHT, as the station's ownership changed.

The show's first cast members in 1974 included Pat Cupo, Bob D. Caterino – known for his Groucho Marx skits, and Marc Nathan, the cameraman.

Later members were Scott Gordon, Craig "Mugsy" Calam, Richard "Netto" Cornetto, Jim Monaco, Art "Looney Skip" Rooney, Charlie Stoddard, David "Artie Delmar" Burd, and Clark the Wonder Dog.

1979

A phonograph album based on the show, The Uncle Floyd Show Album, was released on Mercury Records, and a number of 45 rpm singles on the Bioya label were released around 1979–83.

Vivino has also released a few CDs as a solo artist.

1982

In 1982, The Uncle Floyd Show went into a small syndication circuit which included 17 markets, among them WNBC-TV channel 4 in New York, then WTAF-TV channel 29 in Philadelphia, WPWR-TV Channel 60 in Chicago, WSBK-TV Channel 38 in Boston and WHCT-TV Channel 18 in Hartford.

It aired right after SCTV on WNBC.

The national syndication deal was seen as a huge step forward for the show, which up until that point could only be viewed in and around New Jersey and New York City on a single UHF channel and, at times, local cable.

1983

From 1983 to 1986, The Uncle Floyd Show ran on the statewide PBS network, NJN New Jersey Network, which consisted of 4 channels: WNJS (Channel 23, Camden), WNJN (Channel 50, Montclair), WNJB (Channel 58, New Brunswick) and WNJT (Channel 52, Trenton).

1986

Starting in late 1986, The Uncle Floyd Show was then seen on statewide cable channel CTN ("The Cable Television Network Of New Jersey").

During this time, the show went through various incarnations with Floyd sometimes hosting a music-only show, showcasing local bands.

Floyd also hosted a show called Uncle Floyd's New Jersey, in which he would visit various towns and businesses in the state.

1992

First-run production of The Uncle Floyd Show ended in 1992, with CTN showing repeats until that channel's demise in 1999.

From 1992 until 1996, cast member Mugsy (real name Craig "CM" Calam) produced and appeared in a spin-off show entitled "The Eleventh Hour."

The show was written and produced in the same vein as The Uncle Floyd Show.

It was broadcast live from studios in Nutley, New Jersey on the statewide CTN cable network, and on two Northern New Jersey public access channels, Cablevision of Oakland and Suburban Cablevision of New Jersey in East Orange (later acquired by Comcast Corporation).

1998

In 1998, production of The Uncle Floyd Show began in the Cablevision studio in Oakland, New Jersey.

One hundred shows were produced and aired on Cablevision systems throughout the region.

Musical guests included Marky Ramone and The Misfits.

Although viewer response was enthusiastic, the show was canceled by Cablevision management after the first cycle of episodes.

Vivino has appeared on several television shows filmed in New York City including Law & Order, 100 Centre Street, and Cosby, and was a regular on the Sirius Satellite Radio program The Wiseguys Show on Raw Dog Comedy (channel 104) hosted by former The Sopranos cast member Vincent Pastore.

Vivino performed the jingle of, as well as appeared in the TV commercial for, the frontier-themed amusement park "Wild West City", located in Netcong, New Jersey, a jingle that is still used today by the park.

He has also had parts in the movies Good Morning, Vietnam, Crazy People and Mr. Wonderful.

He also shot a scene for One-Trick Pony which was deleted.

2000

In 2000, Vivino played the bit part of an announcer in the Insane Clown Posse movie, Big Money Hustlas.
