Real names: Barry Kibrick and Pat Mulligan
Years active: 1987
Hosting Snicker Theater on WNBC Channel 4 out of New York City, Barry and Pat at a glance are anything you might see on a college TV station or UHF channel. Low rent set, just two guys goofing on a movies (a proto Wayne's World, if you will) and almost no budget.
I suppose the biggest surprise here is the channel. Nearly every host I've looked at hosted/worked for the station and stations were regional. But here? WNBC, the flagship for the entire National Broadcasting Company? Setting the bar rather high and from what I've read of it looked like something you'd catch in the boonies.
