Jon Bauman has been around for decades -- but it seems even longer because his Bowzer character is perpetually set in 1956.
Sha Na Na formed in the late 1960s as a goof. Fun enough -- but an unlikely beginning to forty years of doo-wopping quasi-celebrity.
Who could have forseen Bowzer showing up as the host of the Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour in the 1980s ... as a veejay in the early days of VH1 ... as a voice on the Animaniacs in the 1990s ... and still today as a hand-jiving huckster on late-night TV?
