Yep. If you've ever had a Charlie, you know you ALWAYS lose the hat.
ReplyDeleteI still have my Charlie's top hat. He is the best of the old ventriloquist dummies!
DeleteThanks, John, for the photo! Charlie is still Number One!
ReplyDeleteYou are right! Charlie McCarthy is number one!
DeleteLucky! I've got a Charlie McCarthy at home, he is awesome! He looks really different from all of the pictures and videos of him with Edgar Bergen. Also, where is the original Mortimer Snerd? That would be cool to see him too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a change! I visited there 20 years ago and Charlie was sitting on top of Irvin Berlin's piano and Kermit the Frog was sitting next to him. To his right was Howdy Doody; standing tall (with strings locked above) and waving to me, and that big Colgate smile. I still recall thinking of it as "Puppet Heaven". When I saw him, he was wearing his top hat and his hair didn't look like Donald Trump's. What goes on here?
ReplyDeleteI've got 5 vent figures at home two of which are Charlie McCarthy and another is Howdy Doody. I wish I could go see the classic figure!
DeleteI just noticed this today! Thanks for posting this!
