I liked him too. For some reason, I remember buying his & Van Halen's first album on the same day the week they came out (freshman in college @ the time so, probably 1977?). I also thought the Geico commercial with him as a travel agent (everybody got 2 pickets to paradise, regardless of their travel plans) was hilarious!

Just checked - must have been Spring semester - Van Halen was released Feb of 1978.
