Amazing Jonathan
Known as the Freddy Krueger of Comedy, the Amazing Jonathan has become one of the most imaginative and bizarre acts of this era. Jonathan's biggest fan, Ronald Reagan, invited him to perform at the 1986 Statue of Liberty Celebration. This helped to expose Jonathan as a great comedian. In 1990, after Merv Griffin watched Jonathan destroy audiences night after night as the headliner of his Red Hot & Rowdy revue show in Atlantic City, approached Jonathan about creating a game show based around his live show. The end result was a game show called Ruckus which played in Atlantic City at Resorts International in front of 700 screaming fans each day. This made it the largest audience in game show history.
