Product Description
This item is a 4" X 5", black and white photo of comedian Pinky Lee. 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. In 1950, he had his own 30-minute primetime variety television series on NBC, The Pinky Lee Show, featuring vaudevillians and burlesque comics. In 1951–52 he starred with Vivian Blaine in a 15-minute sitcom, Those Two. He returned on January 4, 1954, with The Pinky Lee Show, a children's show 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!":
- 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!!!!!
