He also wrote episodes for various TV shows and had a short writing sting on “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.” He was able to combine the two talents, acting and writing, in ’94 by co-creating and starring in the talk-show spoof, “NIGHTSTAND WITH DICK DIETRICK”. He then went on to do the same when he partnered with Howard Stern for the show “Baywatch” spoof, “SON OF THE BEACH”.
