Arliss is an American situation comedy about a sports agent and his group of associates. The series premiered on HBO in 1996 and ended in 2002. Nearly every episode includes one or more notable personalities, primarily from the sports industry , appearing as themselves. Oscar-winning actor James Coburn's 2002 appearance in the episode "The Immortal" was his last television performance before his fatal heart attack in 2002. In July 1999, Wuhl also appeared on World Championship Wrestling's Monday Nitro in the company's dying days as a guest announcer. Joining Scott Hudson and Bobby "The... Brain" Heenan, Robert did not appear as himself but was named as Arliss and acted in character. He announced that "the WCW" would appear on Arliss because none of the Big Three networks would have WCW. Arliss stayed in character on color commentary as Randy Savage, Gorgeous George, and Miss Madness walked to the ring. Arliss said he was scouting Dennis Rodman, who was doing his third stint with the company. Wuhl appeared for cross-promotion as WCW was owned by Time Warner , as was HBO.
