Croker also came up with the idea of setting the show in space and suggested that Zorak and Moltar should be performing their bandleader and producing duties as unwilling prisoners. He would eventually get the voice gig for Moltar, too.
The aforementioned Croker was a Space Ghost fan from childhood, and nailed his impromptu audition. THE ANIMATOR BECAME THE VOICE OF ZORAK BY DOING A GREAT IMPERSONATION OF HIM IN FRONT OF THE BOSS. The next day, Lazzo presented his colleagues with the start of an idea. After talking about Space Ghost, Lazzo went home that night and kept thinking about the character, as well as Leno, the recently installed host of The Tonight Show, and Letterman, who didn’t get the gig and was starting his own show on CBS to compete with Jay (with Chevy Chase and Arsenio Hall also competing for viewers). Lazzo, as well as fellow Cartoon Network staffers Khaki Jones and Andy Merrill, had a meeting trying to brainstorm ways to incorporate their properties into something new. JAY LENO AND DAVID LETTERMAN INSPIRED THE CONCEPT. Lazzo’s frustration with not having any original programming and not having the money to change that fact was the first step to the strange creation of Space Ghost Coast to Coast. At first, Turner insisted that he work only with the classic Warner Bros., MGM, Popeye, and Hanna-Barbera cartoons in their library. Mike Lazzo started working for Turner in the TBS mailroom before gradually becoming Cartoon Network’s first programmer. TED TURNER INITIALLY REFUSED TO GIVE CARTOON NETWORK ANY MONEY. Martin Croker still managed to only have to make five new pieces of animation for the series' first episode, with the rest of the images coming from the original series. Even with such limited material, Space Ghost Coast to Coast animator C. It was created by Alex Toth, a cartoonist who himself didn’t care for Space Ghost’s design.

Space Ghost and Dino Boy was a series that ran for just 20 episodes on CBS in 19. THE ORIGINAL SPACE GHOST HAD LESS THAN 90 MINUTES OF SPACE GHOST ANIMATION. In 2001, the channel's tendency toward non-kid cartoons begot the late night programming block Adult Swim, which is now a brand of comedy in itself. Blending footage from a short-lived 1960s cartoon with a new awkwardly paced, cheaply produced, animated late night "talk show" setup, the series proved to be surprisingly popular with audiences, paving the way for the channel to produce similarly strange and original animated series. The series was the cable network’s first-and most influential-original animated series. On April 15, 1994, when Space Ghost Coast to Coast made its debut, Cartoon Network officially stopped being a 24-hour channel entirely made up of old cartoons that Ted Turner had acquired.
