Rowlf, "The Dog from C.O.U.S.I.N"
Gary Owens as "The Man from Alphabet"
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is a spy series starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum that ran on NBC from 1964 to 1968. The series spawned a short-lived spin-off, The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. in 1966, and a film adaptation in 2015.
Delbert the La Choy Dragon appeared in an industry promotional film in 1966, promoting the fact that La Choy commercials would be airing during The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. and responding to clips from the series' premiere ("The Dog-Gone Affair"), including shots of the regulars and the episode's guest villain played by Kurt Kasznar.
