That's future Saturday Night Live cast member Denny Dillon, appearing as a regular on the short-lived NBC TV series, Hot Hero Sandwich.
It's a Billy-Gram! In this sketch (written by future cast member Terrance Sweeney), guest host Elliot Gould and Ann Risley were living together without marriage when they receive a singing telegram for the girlfriend's birthday, sent by her parents---only it wasn't a regular singing telegram, it's a Billy-Gram! The deliverer, played in hammy style by Charles Rocket, sings the telegram denouncing the girlfriend's lifestyle. Check out Charles' hammy facial style.
Continuing with The Elliot Gould Show, here's the Petroleum Commercial, filmed and written by Mr. Bill's creator, Walter Williams. This is their version of the old roadside Burma Shave signs.
With the new cast of NBC's Saturday Night Live cast, atop the RCA Building at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City! Left to right, Gail Matthius, Charles Rocket, Denny Dillon, Ann Risley, Joe Piscopo, Gilbert Gottfried. Gail, Charles, Denny, and Ann seemed really excited while Joe seemed a little less excited and Gilbert, maybe even less.
