I am writing about the article Howdy Doody (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howdy_Doody)as it Lists those who played Clarabell. Several were left out.

1-Bob Keeeshan was the originator. 2-Dave Wilson (one of the "personal appearance" Clarabells doing work for Vic Smith (Bob's brother)made filled in for Keeshan during contract disputes in 1951 though(NBC denies this). 3-Bob "Nick" Nicholson followed. He was a quieter Clarabell and defined the "new Clarabell" 4-Ed Alberion was next. He was a "Nicholson" Clarabell. 5-Henry McLaughlin played the part for the bulk of 1954-56. 6-Lew Anderson played (on and off mixing with 4 & 5)from 1954 to 1960 and was the last Clarabell.

It was Lew who spoke on the last show, although some insiders say that Bob spoke the words and that Lew mouthed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.49.196.38 (talk) 18:40, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
