#Quote
1[on Head of the Class (1986)] We're not doing the show that I was led to believe I'd do, and it's difficult for me to get off that. I don't want to air dirty laundry in public, but I do feel that the educational arena is one that offers a variety of story ideas as a means of investigating our lives -what we mean to one another and what's important. We could do all that with considerable humor, not with jokes, but with genuine humor that comes out of character and situations.
#Fact
1He quit the University of Oregon for San Francisco and the stage. There, under the assumed name Don Sturdy (it was kind of a joke); he joined The Committee, an improv group that also included Rob Reiner and 'Penny Marshall' )qv_. He appeared in credits as Don Sturdy in at least four productions: Dragnet 1967 (1967), The Andy Griffith Show (1960), Cisco Pike (1972) and Billy Jack (1971).
2Was a close friend and sometime lover of Janis Joplin in the late 1960s.
3Arrested for selling one ounce of marijuana in San Francisco in 1966.
4As a member of The Committee he appeared weekly on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (1967) (1968-69).
5During The Committee's appearance on the July 18, 1969, The Dick Cavett Show (1968) Howard called one of his cast members "fellow baby." Nearly a decade later on WKRP in Cincinnati (1978) he would make this phrase one of the most popular sayings of Dr. Johnny Fever, the role that he is most identified with.
6Before he became an actor, he was a real radio D.J. Hence, the WKRP in Cincinnati (1978) role fit him perfectly.
7Member of the improvisational group The Committee from 1965-75.
8Attended the University of Oregon.
