8. Playing At Being Governor

The 1969 episode “The Road” sees Oliver introduced to the governor of Hooterville’s state (which remained enigmatic). Popular actor Lyle Talbot played the role as himself, and in the introduction stated that he was a “former actor.” The episode and that character were actually based on then California governor and future president, Ronald Reagan.
