The Pinky Lee Show 1950s

About

Pinky Lee, is a boomer kid show favorite and host of the children's television program The Pinky Lee Show in the early 1950s.

This is an excerpt of one of a few episodes in my collection I hope to restore at a later date. This excerpt was made during the analog era. It's amazing how they hawked the sponsors products.

Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Lee got his start in show business in the 1920s as a tap dancer in the chorus of the Brodrick-Felsen & Co. vaudeville act, traveling on the Keith Orpheum circuit. Later, he worked as a comic of the "baggy pants" variety on stage, becoming an expert at the slapstick, comic dancing and rapid-fire jokes of the burlesque style. During the 1940s, he was heard on Drene Time and other radio programs.

Easily recognized by his trademark lisp and high-energy antics, his signature costume was a loud plaid suit with baggy checkered pants and an undersized hat.
