Player #13929814, I watched Howdy Doody back in 1948 on the first TV I ever saw at a neighbor's house in Seattle. Funny, the friend's name was Darrel and he had red hair and freckles like Howdy Doody 😄

Player #38618593, the origin of the term peanut gallery is significantly older than that. it comes from racism in the deep south

Buffalo Bob and Howdy had a guest appearance on one of the earlier episodes of "Happy Days", also watched the show as a wee lad at a neighbor's house with a friend who's family had one of the only TVS on the block.

THIS QUESTION REALLY SHOWS OUR AGE BECAUSE IREMBER WAT HING BOTH SHOWS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. MY SISTER LIKED IT TOO. I DIDNT KNOW CLARABELLE WAS BOB KEESHAN.

And the onstage kid audience sat in bleachers in what they called the "Peanut Gallery", a term we still use today.

After WW2, Schmidt was NOT a very popular name. I imagine that's why he changed it?
