UHF is the film debut of
comedy-rock satirist
Weird Al Yankovic, who also co-wrote the screenplay.
George Newman (
Yankovic) and his friend,
Bob (
David Bowe from
The Cable Guy), are fired from their jobs at Burger World. So
George decides to take over channel 62, a failing local TV station that his
Uncle Harvey (
Stanley Brock) won in a poker game.
George turns it around into an overnight success after letting the janitor,
Stanley Spadowski (
Michael Richards from
Seinfeld), host a kid's show.
George then fills the broadcast day with bizarre programming, bringing the ratings up and saving the station. Soon, rival station CEO
R.J. Fletcher (
Kevin McCarthy) of channel 8 threatens to sabotage the successful station and
George must come up with a way to save it. Only loosely constructed around this story line,
UHF is mostly a series of TV, movie, and music parodies strung together and played for cheap laughs.
UHF also stars
Victoria Jackson,
Emo Philips, and
Fran Drescher.
