I'm from Ohio, so I never heard of him, but go to google images - they have a bunch of pictures.
When I was a kid back in the 60's, we had Uncle Orrie & Ferdie Fussbuget. They were on a Dayton Station.

Just a local thing I guess. Weird how they had local talent in those days when they can’t find talent around the world now.

I remember Uncle Orrie! I got to go on that show with my brother's Cub Scout group. They had that bit where they panned through the kids, and we were all waving like crazy people. Wow. Takes me back.

In Los Angeles we had Sheriff John and Engineer Bill.
When I was a Kid, they opened a new Shopping Bag Grocery Store where we lived and Engineer Bill was there IN PERSON!
He had a Train Whistle Prize Machine. If you pulled the right handle and the Whistle went off, you won a prize. My buddy won the big prize, a scooter, and I won a Frisbee.
Those were the days, Children's innocence is a lost art nowadays.
Hobo Kelly was on Local TV as well but I never watched her.
I guess that makes me Misogynist.
