I recall "The Phantom Diner", who I believe was Mike Kalina.

There was the Exercise Lady, Donna Rae (aka "Terminal Stare" from Chiller theater"). Her shtick was, as I recall, being squeezed into a tight low-cut outfit, and then jumping up and down. I remember her jumping up and down in a pool, on a trampoline, and several other venues. She was very good at jumping up and down in a tight, low-cut outfit.

I don't remember it personally, but I read once that Dennis Miller and/or Michael Keaton both got their starts on Evening Magazine.

It was one of the only truly local shows to be run in the 7:30 PM time slot when the FCC took that away from the networks and assigned it to local stations. The good thing about the show was that it was local. The bad thing about it was that it wasn't very good.

If anyone ever saw the movie "Help", where George Harrison talks about the TV show everyone watched to laugh at and make fun of the people on the show, that's how I remember "Evening Magazine". I was in my 20's then. We'd gather around the TV set when the show came on laugh our butts off at the parts that weren't really intended to be funny. When Saturday Night Live would to parodies of bad local TV shows, they never managed to be quite as funny as Evening Magazine.
