Dick Clark's Live Wednesday

Dick Clark's Live Wednesday is a 1978 NBC variety television series, sometimes called simply Live Wednesday. Hosted by Dick Clark, it was a musical show much like Clark's American Bandstand. Jerry Bishop served as the show's announcer.[1] Guests included musical artists and actors such as Frankie Avalon, Bo Diddley, Connie Francis, Annette Funicello, Melissa Gilbert, Bobbie Gentry and Andy Kaufman. Most episodes also included a live stunt, designed to emphasize the aspect of the telecast, which was seen live in the eastern US.

Comedians such as Billy Crystal and Nipsey Russell also performed on the show.
