He was a part of my early teenage years. Always stayed up on Sat night to watch Mazeppa. He brought laughter to many.
May Gailard rest in eternal love and peace.
After Gailard left the TV shows on KOTV and KTUL, he had a short lived radio show on KAKC when I worked there. This audio is an accurate representation of how chaos ensued.
I had no idea any recordings of Gailard’s radio show existed. This is how the show often went, especially with the callers to the station portion of the show.
One week, Gailard asked a caller what he thought of the show that evening - “Not worth a f***!” was the reply. Unfortunately, there was no tape delay and the comment went out over the air. Without missing a beat Gailard replied quickly, “Not worth a duck, ladies and gentlemen - he said not worth a duck!”
After that week the engineering folks were asked to cobble together a tape delay system since Carl Mark was certainly not going to pay for one. What we built was quite the Rube Goldberg type of device.

So soon after his buddy, Jim Millaway. They worked together for a long while.
Hate to see this.
