you didn't reference another pothole of a late night talk show; The Chevy Chase Show.
If my memory serves me right, both The Chevy Chase show and The Magic Hour were on Fox.
I will say your memory of The Magic Hour is much much better than mine. I only vaguely remember him mangling the English language because I remember how uncomfortable I felt watching at the time.
