Speaking of CHiPS, can you confirm or deny whether Ponch makes a cameo in the video Pepper by the Butthole Surfers?

While you can't believe everything you read online . . . according to WikiPedia In 1995, he made a special guest appearance as Ponch in the video for the Butthole Surfers's video for "Pepper". The video for "Pepper", directed by Gavin Bowden, features 1960s style news clip-like footage of a group of people being arrested in a Texas hotel for kidnapping while newscasters and cameramen crowd around. The kidnapping victim, rescued by the police, is portrayed by Erik Estrada. Singer Gibby Haynes is portrayed as the ringleader, and is shown being interviewed by reporters as police gather evidence. The newsreel segment is filmed in 16mm black and white, and is broken up by 1960s-style color footage, showing the band performing on a show much like American Bandstand. This performance footage is interspersed with 1960s style enactments of cooking and variety shows. The police and Estrada are repeatedly shown eating corn from a can, which, according to the director, is "a reference to the way videos are made; how directors have to have this shot and that shot – how they're spoon-feeding images to the audience.""
Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

Dunno but ... fun fact. Sgt. Joseph Getraer played by Robert Pine is actor Chris Pines', the new Captain Kirk, father

I can tell you that Eric Estrada was recently sworn in as a real Community Service Officer.
As for the question, Wikipedia says yes.
