THE CAST

That Guy (Bob Lounge)

There is an old show biz story about performers being born in a trunk. Well, That Guy was literally born in a trunk. The trunk of a ‘49 Merc. His parents were being kidnapped at the time. That Guy never learned the real story but once overheard it had something to do with the vig plus interest. His father was a pioneer in the early days of television producing telethons and game shows. All of them rigged. His mother was Canada’s first on-air TV weather girl but was not allowed to speak on camera. The television executives in the late ’50s felt that the men watching the news wouldn’t listen if a woman told them the weather so she just pointed at the map and smiled if it was sunny and frowned when it rained.

That Guy is thrilled to be able to bring his crew to the television airwaves. His life long passion has been to be involved with a project in which electrons from a heated cathode are focused and deflected onto a phosphorescent screen. Ta-Da!

The Other Guy  (Chet Stintson)

The Other Guy ( Chet Stintson) also came from a show biz family. His father was a rodeo clown. A baggy pants comedian who jumped out of a barrel in front of the bucking bulls to distract them if the cowboy got in trouble. Chet Senior was somewhat of a coward and would wait inside his barrel until the last-minute always hoping that the action was over. Unfortunately between taking the first and second nip from his courage flask the last bull he ever met was more interested in the barrel than the cowboy and sent Senior flying into the stands.

Chet is a recording artist, magician and actor. He performed for years with That Guy in their touring musical revue “Those Guys!” and has written over a thousand songs for THAT SHOW.  The Other Guy has logged countless hours of community service.

Howdy

We can’t really tell you much about who or what Howdy is but we can tell you who and what he’s not. He was not Rowdy Howdy the wrestler. He was not Howdy Dodat the children’s magician. Actually, we can’t tell you much about who he wasn’t either. He once visited Saskatchewan. He is completely devoted to That Guy and the show. Howdy is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma and covered in something rather sticky.
