* In episode 225 of The Jimmy Dean Show, Rowlf the Dog claims to have seen Swayze in the nearby lake, testing his wristwatch by wrestling with an octopus.
* In a 1966 industrial film produced for IBM, Rowlf is seen making his own commercials for IBM in his idle time. In one such ad spoofing the Timex spots, he plays "Rowlf Cameron Swayze" as he witnesses an IBM typewriter being strapped to a rocketship.
