The MeTV horror host, whose first primetime special on the classic TV network aired this weekend, is spearheading a nationwide talent search to find fans to appear in “Svengoolie” off-shoots. The campaign, dubbed “Spawn of Svengoolie,” was announced on October 1 at the conclusion of “Svengoolie Uncrypted,” a one-hour special that followed the character, played by Rich Koz, as he escaped his dungeon and explored the world — and showcased the more than 43 years of the character. “Svengoolie” has been a local Chicago TV staple for more than four decades; Weigel Broadcasting, which owns MeTV, added the character to its national lineup in 2011. More recently, the network noticed an uptick in viewership on Saturday nights, particularly during the pandemic, as horror fans stayed home to watch “Svengoolie’s” campy and often obscure horror films, and more importantly, Svengoolie’s horror movie facts, trivia and corny dad jokes.

Emmys were “All That.”Opening the 2022 Primetime Emmys with his fancy footwork, Thompson, 44, boogied to a medley of iconic television theme songs, including “Friends” ditty “I’ll be there for you” by the Rembrandts, the legendary “Brady Bunch” jingle and the unmistakable beat of “Law & Order.” “Y’all ever see ‘Living Single?,’ I think you’d like it,” joked the “Saturday Night Live” star as he danced with umbrellas, background dancers and a prop couch, to the “Friends” theme. (His “Living Single” reference was a light-hearted jab at the longstanding joke that “Friends” was NBC’s more mainstream version of the all-black cast ’90s sitcom). Thompson — who dubbed himself the “mayor of television” in his opening monologue while wearing a top hat and coattails — then edited himself into the “ The Brady Bunch” theme visuals, placing himself in the center of the cast’s nine-squared grid.
