Of all the crazy coincidences: to lose Wally Boag and Betty Taylor 1 day apart from each other. This video shows why we should consider that a great loss.

Mr.Boag..is a talented funny guy..his type of comedy is still maintained by my good friend and fellow performer..Mr.Bev Bergeron..and not by that damn,unfunny Jerk O-! Steve Martin.
Wally Boag was originally going to voice Tigger in "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day," but after the death of Walt Disney in 1966, Paul Winchell was chosen to voice Tigger instead.
Ah the famous rubber chicken! XD He used to name it after my dad when he was there. It was so funny. I love Wally so much and its sad to see that he isnt really all that appreciated. So many people I know have never even heard of him. But Im letting them know! :D He performed an episode on Disney cahannel back in the 90's but I dont remember what it was called. I would love to see it again, if anyone knows what show Im talking about. It always had me laughing! :D
possibly a clever arrangement of tape or string through the cards, notice he turns them around, but your guess is as good as mine. No positive answer but sure would like to know!
This guy inspired Steve Martin. I can see a little of him in steve. Wait, that didn't sound right. Let me start over, I can see how Martin would be inspired by Boag. Product of a middle class education please excuse.
I want to be like him when I grow up...

There aren't actors like him anymore, that's for sure.

Wally Boag was one of (if not the very) first person to twist balloons in an entertaining way and he is still one of the best!

"Contact!" I don't know why, but that's probably my favorite part of this skit. XD
