In 2021, Meat Loaf sealed a deal to develop a relationship competition series based on “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That).” He was executive producer on the project and was set to appear as, per the logline, the ethereal figure behind the madness who would pull the strings in the show. He also appeared in several episodes of the 2017-18 series Ghost Wars. His many other screen credits include the features Roadie, Motorama, Crazy in Alabama, Leap of Faith and Americathon. Meat Loaf was the musical guest on a 1978 episode of Saturday Night Live, on which he played Bat Out of Hell’s “All Revved Up and Nowhere to Go” and “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad.” Later, he often hosted the turn-of-the-century music series The List on VH1. Meat Loaf also played the Eddie role onstage. Its soundtrack also hit the Top 50 and is certified gold. The movie, which also starred Susan Sarandon and Tim Curry, has become an all-time cult classic. The singer all but stole the 1975 film version of the stage musical as Eddie, a wild and wildly unlucky ex-delivery boy who belts out the hard-rocking “Hot Patootie” before meeting a difficult end. Meat Loaf’s name became more widely known via The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Recording as Stoney & Meatloaf (one word) for Motown’s Rare Earth label, they reached No.71 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the early summer of 1971 with “What You See Is What You Get,” following it with the Stoney & Meatloaf album, which also enjoyed success in the Netherlands. That led to a perhaps incongruous deal with Motown for the singer as a duo act with his female co-actor, Shaun “Stoney” Murphy. Prior to cutting Bat Out of Hell, Meat Loaf’s early endeavors included a role in the late 1960s Los Angeles production of Hair.
