From Actor Feuds To Alcoholism: Behind The Scenes Of Wonder Woman

Lyle Waggoner

Lyle Waggoner was a fixture on The Carol Burnett Show throughout the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. For seven years, he was an announcer and a performer, but left in 1974 to advance his acting career. He played Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman’s trusted friend and liason to the United Nations.

After the first season, producers kept Waggoner and since the series was revitalized to represent the modern day, Waggoner instead played Steve Trevor, Jr. throughout the rest of the Wonder Woman series. Throughout his career, Waggoner was often cast for his “hunky” appeal, guest starring in shows such as Happy Days, Charlie’s Angels, The Love Boat, and Murder, She Wrote.
