Portrait of "Igor" by Bradley Beard. "Igor" - biography (taken from Bradley Beard's Facebook page)" The hour of his show can't be found on any ordinary clock. Today I present Igor, host of the 13th Hour on KDKA-TV Channel 2 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania which began in 1958. Igor was portrayed by George Eisenhauer. George was the traditional 1950's TV studio personality who was utilized in numerous positions. In addition to horror hosting, it seems he was also a news anchorman. As with most horror hosts of this era, much information about him is left to speculation. It is rumored that Eisenhauer was fired for dropping an F-bomb during the taping of the show without realizing that he was still on the air, however, alternate sources allude to Eisenhauer providing voice over work for KDKA for many years. The truth is that he was indeed a horror host and whatever the reason he left the show, it doesn't really matter. However, if your clock should strike thirteen... then that matters. There are no known clips from the show.
