Other Involvements
Lewis has appeared as a recurring commentator on cable television on two shows: Mad as Hell TV, hosted by Courtney Scott, and Outside the Box, hosted by Alex Ansary, both aired by Portland Community Media.
Lewis was the subject of a 2007 documentary, "The Day Called X", about the Portland, Oregon, portion of his career. The documentary premiered at Willamette Week's Longbaugh Film Festival in Portland on March 31, 2007.
The Southern California band, Sons of Nothing, wrote a song called "Mr. Serious" about Clyde Lewis, included on their 2006 album, Clarity.
A role-playing game for the d20 system, Alien Invasion, has been developed by Michael Tresca. The gamemaster's sourcebook, written by Tresca, features Clyde Lewis, Aaron Duran, and Sadie Gregg as non-player characters belonging to the organization "Ground Zero Radio". Lewis wrote the introduction to the book.
Rolling Stone mentioned Lewis in an article about off-the-wall conspiracies, citing his theory that Prince William is the Antichrist.
In October 2007 Clyde was diagnosed with malignant double renal cell carcinoma. In order to save his life Clyde was told that he needed painful surgeries in order to remove his tumors. Fearing that he might die, Clyde decided to appear in a special farewell movie that he dedicated to his listeners. The film short "Wordspeaker" was written and directed by Vancouver Washington native Dennis Sparks. In it Clyde plays an aging talk show host who doesn't know when to give up. The ending was dark and sad and featured a performance of "Manon: Adieu notre petite table" by Sadie Gregg. The film is now featured on the Internet Movie Database.
In the winter of 2007-2008, Lewis underwent two surgeries to remove malignant tumors from both of his kidneys. In the spring of 2008 just months after Clyde had recovered from two kidney surgeries, he was notified that an old colleague, William Wolfgang Gossett was being investigated as a suspect in the D.B. Cooper case. Clyde rallied a team of investigators and joined the investigative team Tosaw, with lawyer Galen Cook to look for clues surrounding the infamous hijacker's jump near the Columbia River in Washington State.
In June 2010, a suspicious anomaly on a cancer scan raised the concern that his cancer had returned, but more accurate tests in November revealed that it was a thickening of tissues related to the kidney healing from surgery.
On October 24, 2010 Clyde appeared on the Learning Channel documentary "Return to the Bermuda Triangle."
On October 31, 2010 Clyde along with Illusionist Reed McClintock, Reverse Speech inventor David John Oates, and mad scientist Dr. Jonathan Burgess attempted to contact the dead using a radio similar to "Franks's Box." Lewis claimed that he was trying to fulfill a dream not realized by inventor Thomas Edison. The on-air experiment was called "The Edison Enigma/Operation Friendly Ghost."
This was considered to be a world wide seance as people from all over the world claimed that their dead loved ones had spoken to them. Lewis also produced evidence of clear EVP during the experiment. The experiment was repeated the next week but was called off halfway through the show because many involved felt an evil presence in the room. Footage was shot in studio documenting paranormal activity during the broadcast. The Broadcast was simulcast on FATE radio and on 1670 Am in Casper Wyoming.
