Thursday Night Live Sep 26, 1980 Guy Caballero introduces Thursday Night Live, comedy for the lowest common denominator (Animal House crassness abound). The second installment of Great White North never has a chance, because Doug McKenzie has his earmuffs on. Harvey K-Tel presents Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? with a cast of fast-talkers. At the end, Walter Cronkite and David Brinkley stray from the point of Point/Counterpoint.
