Floyd Vivino （born October 19, 1951）, also known as Uncle Floyd, is an American television, film, and stage performer primarily known for his comedy/variety TV show The Uncle Floyd Show （1974–1998）.
Vivino was born in Paterson, New Jersey to Jerry Vivino Sr.
, a jazz trumpeter, and Emily Vivino.
He grew up in Paterson, Point Pleasant, Island Heights, and Glen Rock.
He attended Glen Rock High School where he produced a musical revue starring the school's janitorial staff.
Floyd began his live performance career working as a child tap dancer in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and began his broadcast career over a friend's pirate radio station while in high school.
Floyd Vivino is the older brother of Jerry Vivino and Jimmy Vivino, who were members of the Basic Cable Band, formerly known as the Max Weinberg 7.
Floyd is also the uncle of musical theater actress Donna Vivino.
The Uncle Floyd Show aired in New Jersey and New York from 1974 to 1998.
It can be read as a children's show or a parody of a children's show.
Much of the humor has a twist aimed at adults, in the style of shows by predecessor Soupy Sales （1950s-1970s）, and later Pee Wee Herman （1980s）.
The show featured character comedy, puppetry, some audience participation, musical guests, and Floyd's piano playing.
One of Floyd's puppet sidekicks – actually a ventriloquial figure – was named Oogie.
His on-air interaction with off-camera staff and sidekicks is somewhat in the style of what Howard Stern and Chelsea Handler would later do.
Local bands such as The Smithereens, The Shades, and R. Stevie Moore, along with such well-known performers as The Ramones, Tiny Tim, Benny Bell,
