Paul Winchell was one of the most talented people to walk this earth. Not just in terms of ventriloquism, but in every field imaginable. Genius.

Wonderful memories, my cousin also had a Danny O'Day doll, we would turn out the lights and put a flashlight under its chin so the beam lighted the dolls face, she would start screaming. We laughed till tears rolled down, to this day I can get a laugh w any doll.

If memory serves, this was on Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. Milton DeLugg was the musical director. This was like 1955-56. I got a Knucklehead Smith Doll for Christmas 1953 so Paul Winchell apparently was on TV by that time. Winchell appealed more to the kids than Bergen did because of his format. I later saw him do a skit on the Dick Van Dyke show where he used hand puppets.

I had been watching in 1964. This show was being broadcast live at that time. Paul Winchell's only sponsor was 'tootsie roll". Apparently there had been difficulties because tootsie roll wanted more and more advertising for their product. I recall that at one time, Paul was very angry because of this, so he held up a full size unwrapped tootsie roll while the song was ending, and sang polly-wally-doo -DOO-DOO! - It was totally raunchy, disgusting and hilarious!
