Captain Kangaroo Trivia |
What word made the ping pong balls drop?
Well, this
is not a memory loss issue! There was no one word. The punch line or point of
the gag made them drop. Usually a knock-knock joke. |

Bob Keeshan Trivia
Lee Marvin interview
NOT
true |
This rumor circulating the Net is not true
Dialog
from The Tonight Show interview with Johnny Carson: His guest was Lee
Marvin.
Johnny said, "Lee, I'll bet a lot of people are unaware that
you were a Marine in the initial landing at Iwo Jima...and that during the
course of that action you earned the Navy Cross and were severely wounded."
"Yeah, yeah... I got shot square in the ass and they gave me the Cross
for securing a hot spot about halfway up Suribachi...bad thing about getting
shot up on a mountain is guys gettin' shot hauling you down. But, Johnny, at
Iwo I served under the bravest man I ever knew... We both got the cross the
same day, but what he did for his Cross made mine look cheap in
comparison.
The dumb bastard actually stood up on Red beach and
directed his troops to move forward and get the hell off the beach. Bullets
flying by and mortar rounds landing every where and he stood there as the main
target of gun fire so that he could get his men to safety. He did this on more
than one occasion because his men's safety was more important than his own
life. That Sergeant and I have been lifelong friends. When they brought me off
Suribachi we passed the Sergeant and he lit a smoke and passed it to me, lying
on my belly on the litter and said, where'd they get you Lee?' "Well Bob...if
you make it home before me, tell Mom to sell the outhouse!"
Johnny, I'm
not lying...Sergeant Keeshan was the bravest man I ever knew..... The
Sergeant's name is Bob Keeshan. You and the world know him as Captain
Kangaroo." |
