He's a real six-letter man — ■ Marc Howard earned those block initials the hard way, with his nightly labors for Station WFMJ-TV— but he cheerfully admits that any personal resemblance to the characters he impersonates, as host of "Five O'Clock Show Time," is purely hilarious! Marc couldn't make the weight for Tarzan wearing Ma's fur coat ... on the other hand (or larynx) his vocabulary is vastly more extensive and New World: He "goes ape" very easily, but it's strictly "like — man!" Actually, he goes bugeyed for science fiction on Tuesdays and Thursdays (Wednesday is when he swings through the TV trees) . . . dese-demand-dose for the Bowery on Mondays . . . and completely mad for comedy on Fridays. It's all part of getting in the mood for the types of movies he introduces at 5 p.m. Youngstown has learned to live with it and like it . . . but Marc's not so sure they dig him on "Weather Window" at 11 p.m. "Gardeners want rain, girls want sun," he moans Man of few words? Not Marc Howard-he has lots to say to Youngstown viewers! — brightening to add, "but my mother loves me!" The latter lives in Sharon, Pennsylvania . , . where Marc was born twenty-six years ago as of next February 13th (just missed being a Valentine, but he'd love a wayout birthday card). He went to high school in Sharon, started broadcasting on WPIC. Today, he describes himself as "a retired deejay" who is now "an opera fan." Music, he likes. Even has the hi-fi going while he studies math . . . seems that in his saner (daytime) moments, he's a junior at Youngstown U. His other current love is his TR4 (see below) . . . ask him about romantic interests or incidents in his life and he says: "Many incidents — minimal interests!" His idea of a dream girl? "Like, if I knew, I'd be married to her!" . . . Maybe it's because he smokes six to ten cigars a day. More likely, it's the heavy schedule he carries at college and studio — plus Army Reserve duty. Compared with Marc, Tarzan's a lazy, hammock-swingin' loafer slower than molasses! 62 Marcs homework includes study (in theory) for Youngstown University — and research (in practice) on his Triumph.
