So, instead of growing up to look like Johnny Weissmuller, I grew up looking like Woody Allen,” Fritz laughed. That was Fritz-a voice and personality grown larger than life for a diminutive man who thought he was gonna grow up to be the size of Tarzan.

On Channel 10, from 1974 to 1991, we had Fritz “The Nite Owl” Peerenboom-a gangly, mustachioed man with a deep, mollifying voice and a pair of pointy, shimmering sunglasses that would make Elton John blush. Shock, an on-air magician who is remembered for his iconic catchphrase, “Let there be fright.” In Columbus, we had the best of them all. In Cincinnati there was The Cool Ghoul, who was known for his inimitable tongue fluttering and long, blonde hair. Back in those days, almost every local television station hosted their very own eccentric movie companion. Well, in the golden era of late night cable programming, before the advent of infinite entertainment avenues and all day Netflix benders, there existed a facet of our culture that was soon relegated to relic: the late night movie host-a companion of the night who, after the scheduled commercial breaks, would warm up audiences with insightful commentary, clever observations, and offbeat yarns. For me, having another person to kick around with and reflect on the impeding action or drama makes the experience more valuable.
