Birthday Quiz: One Wacky Guy

One of TV's best wacky sidekicks celebrates today.

Jerry Van Dyke (75 today) made a bit of name for himself by playing Luther, a more ostentatious, bug-eyed version of Coach from "Cheers," on "Coach." Allow me to rephrase. Remember "Cheers" and how it had a character named Coach before Woody Harrelson took his place as the resident dumb guy? Well, Jerry Van Dyke's character, on the completely distinct show "Coach," is a more blustery version of the aforementioned character, who was named Coach. Sigh ... I'm so glad I brought it up. In what horror film did "Coach" star Craig T. Nelson appear?

button "Poltergeist"
button "The Exorcist"
button "Friday the 13th"
button "Halloween"
button "Nightmare on Elm Street"
