Years active: 1968-1970
Staying with San Fransisco for a bit, we find Asmodeus, the host of Shock Theater on KEMO-TV, Channel 20.

Along with his manservant Achmed, Asmodeus hosted from the basement of the Chateau Noir and presented a classy front to the often cheesy films. Later re-titled Shock-It-to-Me Theater and Double Headed Theater (when it became a double feature), the show did have the advantage of the Universal library, but sadly the show was done in, by all things, another host.
The show was put up against host Bob Wilkins, and there was no contest. The ratings fell and the show was cancelled. Sheridan eventually retired to Hawaii.
