It says on his 'official' site here that he and Gary Busey did a comedy show in the early 70s, is this the real deal, or is it make-believe? And why isn't it on the IMDb??

Hey KnatLouie, I didn't see that anyone answered your question. Gailard is our hometown hero here in Tulsa, OK. Yes there was a show with him and Gary Busey (Teddy Jack Eddy) called Mazeppa Pompazoidi's Uncanny Film Festival & Camp Meeting. Go to www.mazeppa.com and you can buy DVDs of the skits from the show. The show was on KOTV on Sat. nights at 10:30 and exibited old B movies like creature flicks. In between segments Gailard, Gary, Sherman Oaks (Jim Millaway) and others would be in sketches. It was hillarious and only a few clips survived. I have met Gailard on several occasions and found him to be a wonderful doun to earth regular kind of guy. He's great and one of the funniest natural talents around. If this enlightened you at all, it was my pleasure!
Michael
PS. If you watch "The Buddy Holley Story" with Gailard & Gary(Busey), in the scene where Buddy is showing some young boys a few chords on the guitar, He sings his Mazeppa name (Teddy Jack) to the boys in the lyrics.

Cool, thanks! I might buy the DVD sometime, and add it to the IMDb myself, if nobody else feels like it :oP
It's kinda hard to imagine these two (three) guys doing this comedy sketch-show, so it would be fun to watch sometime, especially since it's so rare and (almost) forgotten! -

I remember seeing the Saturday night show, it was very funny. I think one of the sponsors was seben-up, or its proper name seven up. It was on at about 10:30 and showed old old horror shows. Gary Busey was Teddy-Jack-Eddy, possibly the first good old boy red ncek.
