What TV show was ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons talking about?

[Steve Timko]

There's a decent documentary on Netflix about ZZ Top. Billy Gibbons talks about keyboardist's Lanier Greig's departure from the group. He says Greig left to go audition for "Mork and Mindy." The problem was, he left seven or eight years before Robin Williams created the Mork character on "Happy Days." And it was six or seven years after "My Favorite Martian." Any guesses as to what show Gibbons refers to? I think maybe he made up the whole thing.

Maybe it was Happy Days?
