2008 Halloween Countdown 28 Bonus: Commander USA

Another tv host that I enjoyed watching in the 1980s was Jim Hendricks as Commander USA. He hosted Commander USA's Groovie Movies on the USA Network every weekend from 1985 to 1989. He usually had double horror and science fiction double features every Saturday and a single movie on Sunday. I remember watching the movies with Mexican wrestlers and his hilarious segments where he used his microwave vision along with his hand puppet, Lefty. The basic look of the Comedian from the Watchman reminds me a lot of him maybe because of the cigar and mask. Here is a video with some Commander USA segments:
