Name of Guy in This Commercial - SOLVED


So, a few years ago I asked if anyone remembers a comedian from the late 80s who would use an electronic piano keyboard in his act. He would play the Super Mario Bros song and also did a bit on the music of Woodstock. AND, he was in a Ruffles commercial.

Unfortunately no one knew then. But now that I've found the commercial, maybe someone will now know (he's the guy on the right):

Can you remember what TV shows he's been on? Did he go on Letterman or Johnny Carson. From the video he doesn't look familiar to me.

I know it's been a while, but I figured it out. Charles Zucker.

Wow, you have a good memory. I can't say that I ever remember seeing this guy on TV so he must have had a small window on the national stage. Just based on what little videos there are of him on Youtube kind of corroborates that as well.

Good find nonetheless.

Well, I was on the Need To Know board just to see if I could help out with any and before I knew it, I came across my own post. HA!

I immediately remembered that Zucker was also in Teen Wolf (1985) as the basketball assistant coach.

Then it was just a matter of looking it up on IMDb.

I know his face, but I cannot remember his name.

Maybe this will help jog someone's memory:

I think he looks like Skippy from Family Ties http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0697027/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t7

I found out by chance a couple of weeks ago. Charles Zucker.
