In Popular Culture
In the Happy Days episode "Fearless Fonzarelli" (aired September 30, 1975), Fonzie (Henry Winkler) jumps his motorcycle over fourteen garbage cans. The feat attracts the cameras of the fictional (though thinly-veiled) You Wanted To See It, with the real Jack Smith playing himself. You Wanted To See It shows up again in the Weezer video "Buddy Holly" which shows the band playing at Arnold's Drive-In, a popular diner in the Happy Days sitcom.
A parody of the show called You're Asking for It was featured in the Bugs Bunny cartoon Wideo Wabbit (1956).
