FRIDAYS - The Numb Boys

Air Date/Released Friday, December 19, 1980
Station/Studio ABC / Moffitt-Lee Productions
Host/Star Rockpile

ABC's answer to SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, the network launched this cutting-edge sketch and music show on, naturally, Friday evenings. A talented cast and crew, but it never caught on critically or popularly; it lasted for three seasons, 1980 - 1982.

In a sketch, janitors at a recording studio, The Three Stooges are mistaken for the rock group The Numb Boys. Anxious for a steady supply of cocaine and money, the Stooges play along with a crazy scheme to lip-synch their way to fame.
