I definitely remember Alan as the voice of USA Network during the 80s and early 90s.

Early Alan hosting a pilot game show back in 1974 called "The Challengers". The late Dick Clark had a different game show called "The Challengers" back in 1990 till 1991. Watch out for the "Universal" scary logo at the end!! (runs 14 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGvWFL7 ... Martindale
