Cowboy Bob's Corral - Live broadcast on WTTV

Bob Glaze (aka Cowboy Bob) born in 1942, first appeared on WTTV in 1963 on Jack Noels (Bloomington) Happy Valley Show. He joined the WTTV staff on June 6, 1966 as a camera operator on the Bloomington-based Bob Cook's RFD-4 and The Bernie Nicolei Breakfast Show where he also appeared. His first appearance in Indianapolis was with Mary Ellen Reed when he played Harley Slarp, her boy friend on "Popeyes Diner".

He was known as "Mountain Dew Bob" on Janies show when they did a Mountain Dew jingle together. That lead to a Parade with Janie in Columbus, Indiana where he was actually deemed "Cowboy Bob" by a local businessman. Don Tillman hired him to replace Mary Ellen Reed's Lunch Time Theater and his show premiered at noon on January 7, 1970. Chuckwagon Theater was born!

I met Cowboy Bob when I was probably around 12. I was so excited because I got to go up on the stage with him at the local theatre. What great memories! I often wonder what he's doing now.
