How the Show Worked
Each episode of Hacker's Olympic Rundown was about five minutes long. Hacker T. Dog (played by Phil Fletcher) was the main presenter. He would cover different sports in a really funny way. He often made jokes about what was happening in the Olympics.
Hacker also talked to his 'roving reporter,' Wilf Breadbin. Wilf was also played by Phil Fletcher. Wilf's reports were usually about things that had nothing to do with sports! Derek McGee, another crew member (also played by Fletcher), would help Hacker in the studio.
