Musical Montage: Alan Thicke “Thicke of the Night”
Before his most famous role as Jason Seaver on Growing Pains, Alan Thicke had a talk show called Thicke of the Night that ran from 1983-1984. It was intended to be a rival to to The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, as Thicke had previously hosted a very popular Canadian daytime talk show called The Alan Thicke Show but no one can compete with Johnny, so Thicke of the Night lasted for one season. Thicke wrote and performed his own theme song, also called “Thicke of the Night” which feels more like an 80’s pop song than a TV theme and you can check it out below.
