From late August 1985, here's a WNEW (New York City's channel 5) promo for the premiere of Comedy Tonight. I don't recognize the comic featured, but if this bit is representative of his act... yikes. (Kinda looks like Frankie Pace, but I only remember him with a mustache.)
After that, announcer Tom Gregory tells viewers that the usual late-night movie was being pre-empted by a syndicated airing of the 2nd Annual MTV Video Music Awards (the tape only caught the first fifteen minutes or so).
No rights held or implied. (If you'd like this video removed for copyright reasons, please contact me rather than notifying YouTube, I will gladly take it down from this channel.) This is on compilation 70 at oldtvads.blogspot.com...
