Late night comedy sketch show that aired on Saturday nights at 10pm on KLJB-TV (FOX 18) in Davenport Iowa from 1987 until 1990. Except for news programs "Live on Tape" was the only locally produced entertainment show at that time in the Quad City area. And the only original sketch comedy show produced in the Midwest. Working with local talent, no budget, cheap sets, "Live on Tape" was rough, cheesy, but over-all fun local television. The skits ranged from the truly awful, to some inspired comic moments with such characters as: E.J. Crackerhorn, Arnie Upshoe, Guy Newswarthy, Uncle Joey, Nosey, Clive Knobfinder, Zippy Spamhammer, and Bongo the Exploding Clown (to name a few).
