"Live on Tape" was a 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. It was also the only original sketch comedy show produced for broadcast in the Midwest. Working with local talent, no budget, and 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, Bongo the Exploding Clown, and many others. More than a kid's show and not quite Masterpiece Theatre "Live on Tape" remains a unique example of cheesy, but fun local television.
