I had always thought the "Chris" of "Chris and Gord" was Paycheck. If you listen to the episode where Tom reviews Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Chris calls in and Tom thanks him for the (theme?) song and says that he will play it. And Chris is all nervous and excited: "Go, Tommy! Go!" Sounds like Paycheck, way before supercaller status.
Please, someone set me straight. I've said it before, blah blah, I'm old.
