Trivia
Another musical sketch was set in Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel". The lyrics to the classic Presley song include the line, "The bellhop's tears keep flowing, the desk clerk's dressed in black." For the record, in this sketch Chico Ryan played the bellhop, while Jon "Bowzer" Bauman was the desk clerk.

Bowzer once stunned a fourth season audience by announcing dramatically at the end of one episode, "This is the last Sha Na Na show you will ever see." He then launches into an explanation that "me and the boys (sic) have been giving it a lot of thought, and we've decided that it's time to move on". Moments later, this is revealed to be a setup for an elaborate joke, as Bowzer responds to a "message" from an off-stage producer: "What?! We HAVEN'T been canceled?!" He then pantomimes tremendous relief, and advises the audience to ignore everything he just said!

Of the ten original members of the group, only two - Johnny Contardo and Jocko Marcellino - ever appeared on camera (in separate sketches) with ungreased hair.
