Shows that "visted" other shows

[Lkeller]

Who was the comedian who popped up on Lucy, Sanford & Son, Flintstones & MANY other shows with snide remarks. He'd always turn around and say "YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS?"

That was the great Frank Nelson, who was also Jack Benny's nemesis on many episodes of the Jack Benny Program, as the irritating salesman, clerk, or bureaucrat.

Last week on the Jack Benny Shows (it airs on Me-TOO in Chicago), Jack is talking to the pyschatrist's receptionist and he says, "wherever I go there he is, it's the same guy, in a store, in a hotel, on a train he's following me making wisecracks." The receptionist says 'I'm sure the doctor will help you."

Then the door opens and Frank Nelson backs out and says "Thanks doctor I feel so much better, I know I was upset but wherever I go there he is telling those unfunny jokes, following me around, no matter how many times I change jobs, he's always there."

Then Nelson turns around and is face to face with Jack Benny...

LOL

LOL indeed.  I would love to see that episode.  I have no idea what "Me Too" is, but we don't get it in the SF Bay Area.  Outside of a few clips and a couple of "Classic TV" weekends, I haven't seen the Jack Benny Program in decades.

Years ago (WJKW)TV8, Cleveland-"Hoolahan & Big Chuck" had the character "SuperHost"(Lynn Sheldon) pop into one of their goofy skits & he worked for Channel 43 which was(is) a competing station.

Actually, "Superhost" was Marty Sullivan..Announcer/Newsman at Channel 43.  Linn Sheldon was Barnaby.. . also on channel 43  at the time.  Though just before taking the role of Barnaby at KYW-TV 3 in the Fall of 1957, Sheldon was a movie host at WJW-TV 8.  Earlier still, he worked at WEWS-TV 5..He even worked at WKBF-TV 61 for a brief time in 1968-69

There was a similar SNL skit (I don't know if this incident provided the basis for this skit) during the 1999-2000 season where Will Ferrell played a contestant who quit after the $100 question (with Darrell Hammond as Regis).

Bob Vila from "This Old House" made an appearance on Tool Time where he & Tim were racing lawn mowers.

In Chicago we have a local independent channel WCIU and they have two low power stations WWME-CA (Which they bill as ME-TV) and WMEU-CA (Which they bill as ME-TOO). It's got most of the shows you'd find on RTN. ME-TV stands for Memorable Entertainment Television, but is also a play on WCIU the full power station which call itself "The U"

I love Jack Benny but he's hard to follow cause a lot of his humour is depending on you knowing the background of his character from radio and also Benny would sometimes carry a joke from one show and deliver the punchline on the next show.

The ABC soaps have been known to move characters
back and forth; I remember once when Dr. Steve Hardy
(John Beradino) of "General Hospital" was called to Llanview
to treat a patient on "One Life To Live."

"The Young And The Restless" and "The Bold And The
Beautiful" also swap characters; villainess Sheila Carter
has turned up on both shows, and "B&B"'s Eric Forrester
once made a trip to Genoa City.

Oddly, the two Procter & Gamble shows, "As The World
Turns" and "Guiding Light," have never interchanged characters,
although a few months ago the character of Holden Snyder on
"ATWT" said something about going to Springfield ("GL"'s town).
He never did turn up on "GL."  But "GL"'s Mike Bauer did some
time on another P&G soap, "Another World," back around the
early '70s, IIRC.

And I think we all know that Mark Goodson and Bill Todman
had the panelists from "What's My Line?", "I've Got A Secret,"
and "To Tell The Truth" appear on each other's shows.  Kitty
Carlisle filled Dorothy Kilgallen's chair the first Sunday after
Kilgallen's death; Henry Morgan got into an acrimonious exchange
with Bennett Cerf when he thought Cerf's introduction of John Daly
was taking too long.  And Steve Allen continued to show up on
"What's My Line?" (including the last network broadcast) even as
he hosted "I've Got A Secret."
