Mr.Allen Swift was an entertainer on radio,the Broadway and summer stock stages,in nightclubs and on tv. He was a regular on"Howdy Doody" and he did voice overs for many movie and tv cartoons and commercials.He was also the first host/performer of WPIX TV's"Popeye Show".
That means that this commercial was made in New York. [So was another commercial froim 1973 about the Fruit Pies, with another NY voice, Mort Marshall. Both quite active in the day on both Total TV and Rankin-Bass cartoons.]
I LOVE DING DONGS AND HO-HOS

I miss the Hostess characters. At least Fruit Pie the Magician hung around on the packaging until 2006.
