His most famous media appearance was his portrayal of a whacked-out history professor in Rodney Dangerfield's ''[[Back to School (film)|Back to School]]''. He also recorded a novelty version of The Troggs' pop song "Wild Thing". The music video was a huge hit on MTV (and featured Jessica Hahn, the church secretary in the Jim Bakker scandal, about whom Kinison said "if you're going to lose a kingdom for some pussy, this is the girl"). He also starred in ''Charlie Hoover'', a ''[[Herman's Head]]''-like sitcom, which ended after seven episodes because of Kinison's death. |
