The Pinky Lee Show (1954) | Pinky Lee | Johnny Crawford | Carol Richards | Molly Bee

Pincus Leff (May 2, 1907 – April 3, 1993), better known as Pinky Lee, was an American burlesque comic and host of the children's television program The Pinky Lee Show in the early 1950s. This children's show was sponsored by Tootsie Roll. An Emmy-nominated afternoon children's program that spawned later imitators such as Pee-Wee's Playhouse, it was followed each day by the popular Howdy Doody Show. Lee opened each show with his trademark theme song, "Yoo Hoo, It's Me!":

Stars: Pinky Lee, Johnny Crawford, Carol Richards

Yoo hoo, it's me,
My name is Pinky Lee.
I skip and run bring lots of fun
To every he and she.
It's plain to see
That you can tell it's me
With my checkered hat
And my checkered coat,
The funny giggle in my throat
And my silly dance
Like a billy goat.
Put 'em all together,
Put 'em all together,
And it's whooooo?
(Audience): PINKY!!!!!

I remember seeing that show when I was a kid. Now it seems Kind of silly and corny. Pinky Lee is somewhat obnoxious. 😟
