The Ronnie Horror Show Cast Members

The Ronnie Horror Picture Show is a nearly 20 minute sketch from ABC's Saturday Night Live knock-off show, Fridays, which aired in December of 1980.
It was a parody of The Rocky Horror Picture Show inspired by the recent election of Ronald Regan to President of the United States.

The sketch stars Michael Richards, (Kramer from Seinfeld) as Brad Minor and Melanie Chartoff (Parker Lewis Cant Lose, Rugrats) as Janet. Mark Blankfield plays Riff-Raff/VP-elect George H.W. Bush, John Roarke as Reagan/Frank N. Furter and Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm) as an Eddie/RIchard Nixon mash-up.

The elaborate satire mimics the musical numbers and story-line while skewering the left-to-right-wing metamorphosis that was taking place in the country at the time.
