Character Information
|
Squiggy is an actor who appeared in the television show, Laverne and Shirley.
History
When the producers of the 1895 Challenge realized the show was losing ratings, they sent Squiggy in to boost ratings. After realizing this wasn't working the producers decided to send the house into a river. It went over a waterfall and the house fell down, supposedly killing Squiggy.
Behind the Laughter
- Laverne and Shirley is a pun of Laverne & Shirley and Squiggy was a character in that show
- "Squiggy" being sent to boost their ratings is a reference to a lot of television shows sending in newer characters to save the show from being cancelled (often with disastrous results), such as Cousin Oliver on The Brady Bunch, Seven on Married...With Children, and Smitty (Adam Sandler's character) on The Cosby Show
