    For some reason, this makes me think of Pee Wee Herman who hosted Pee Wee’s playhouse.

    I’m old, so I loved Captain Kangaroo when I was a kid.

    The similar item is messing me up! I have no idea so let’s go with Steve from Blues Clues. Didn’t Nick Cannon used to host a kids show?

    My favorite show when I was a child was Jeopardy. It has been a consistent part of my life since childhood lol.

    This sounds like Peewee Herman. One of his playhouse pals was an Etch-A-Sketch. My favorite childhood host was Captain Kangaroo.

    Host: I really hope this isn’t Steve from Blue’s Clues.

    When you were a child, what was your favorite TV show? I was a kid in the early 70’s. So it was New Zoo Revue, Scooby Do, Hong Kong Phoeey…all the great ones.

    Oh no, it’s not the old Blue’s Clues guy is it? The one with the little book he used to write in? I have to go take a shower now. Eww, eww, eww.

    Optional: I loved the Magic Garden with Carol the singer who was so cool in the Chuckle Patch. My most fervent wish was that they would say my name when they were announcing kid’s names. I have a pretty unusual name, so that never happened. Sigh.

    TV host? I dunno know. My first thought is that it’d have to be a game show with the “critical moment” being the finish line. The one with the green goo, maybe?

    Favorite children’s show was Captain Kangaroo. I loved Mr. Green Jeans as well as when the moose got all the ping pong balls dropped on him.

    Philip Schofield? UK morning TV presenter who started on children’s TV in the ’80s and early ’90s… recent relevations this year have shown his TV persona is not as squeaky clean as once believed.

    Larry Harmon – Bozo the clown ?
    Steve -Blues Clues
    David Joyner – Barney the Dinosaur
    I liked Captain Kangaroo

    I have to echo a previous poster and say what’s wrong with these people?
    No idea who this sad individual is.

    I really didn’t like shows for kids (found them noisy & goofy). Mr Rogers came along just as I was aging out of kid shows. Too bad cause his show was wonderful.

    Hobo Kelly?
    Sheriff John?
    Soupy Sales?
    Bob McAllister (Wonderama)?

    Felix the Cat?
    Fred Flintstone?
    George Jetson?

    PopBitch is UK so…
    Philip Schofield – now out the Broomcupboard
    Or –
    Toby Anstis – still in maybe?!
    Though —
    Neil Buchanon makes more sense as an art presenter… Hopefully not Johnny Ball!

  34. aaaShona says

    Philip Schofield maybe with Gordon the Gopher doing the tweaking!

    Not Johnny Ball – he lived in my home town and was spotted walking around, never heard any local gossip about him.

    Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Maybe Bill Cosby of Fat Albert & the Cosby Kids when the girls were just stoned and not completely out of it . I think Bill did introduce every episode . The Cosby kids was one of my favorites . Anyway do any of you Boomers remember the show Discovery 63 ? It was an entertainment educational show featuring female and male cohosts with a Bloodhound named Corpuscle who also contributed That was my favorite show as a kid !
