Svengoolie is an American comedy television series that premiered on MeTV on January 7, 1995. It was created by Rich Koz. It stars Rich Koz, Doug Scharf, Sarah Palmer and Bill Leff.
The host Svengoolie talks about various horror movies while showing the movies, one per episode, and gives an introduction to them and performs an act during the commercial breaks. One of the constant tropes is that he will ask a question, then cut back to the movie in a way that looks like the character is answering that question. He also does a deep dive on the early careers of the major actors, and also what has happened to them since then.
