Best Answer

A funny-looking character, making Dennis the Menace look sober and earnest- but not strictly speaking a Clown. Clarabelle ( a man despite female name) was a clown, and a non-speaking role for some reason.

On the howdy doody show name of private eye?

Howdy Doody was NOT in any sense a crime drama, so there was no need for detectives in the cast. You may be thinking of Fargo North, Decoder, which has some connection with Sesame Street. There was/is a comic detective Harlow Doyle ( a man) on the Adventures in Odyssey radio drama but he is no longer an active character.


Did Buffalo Bill of the Howdy Doody Show use the term Howdy Buckaroos?

The studio audience were known as the Peanut Gallery and sometimes as Peanuts. Do not confuse with the Charles Schultz cartoon of that name- by the way no character in Peanuts is so-named. Sorry, Charlie Brown.

On the old TV show Howdy Dowdy they would show old Hollywood silent films Wasn't one of the old time actors always referred to as Hilda Honiwinklea made up name to make the kids laugh?

The name you states sound like a parody on Hedda Hopper who was a famous movie Gossip columnist in syndicated newspaper columns. She died in either l965 or l966 so was very much alive when Howdy Doody was current. (Howdy went out of circulation circa l96l-62)/ Maybe you are thinking of a more educational type of show such as the Mickey Mouse club which sometimes went into historical angles... and well they should have... with the big Disney Studio behind them. Yes, on the old Howdy Doody show, one of the old silent film divas was always identified as Hilda Hanewinkle (I am not entirely sure on the spelling).. which was most definitely a 'made up' name! There was no connection with Hedda Hopper - I don't know where that came from.

What is a howdy?

Howdy is a slang greeting based on the phrase: Howdy Doody- sometimes hyphenated, How do you do, In other words, like Greetings, Friends. the standard intro formalilty of How do you do? is somewhat Westernized, as did the TV character. The TV character and show is somewhat odd as Howdy was the personal name of the lead character, though it bears no resemblance to normal Christian prenames and surnames ( last names, not noble titles, sir?) Howdy Doody had a hokey western background oddly sans horses and gunplay- though there were Horses in the short-lived Howdy Doody comic book in the early fifties, possibly a give-away by one of the show"s sponsors- Poll Parrot shoes.


What is the name of howdy doody's horse?

In the popular Television show- he didn't use a horse. it would be too much trouble to fake somebody riding a horse with puppets. He was a western character, but did not carry a gun, a badge ( he was not a western lawman) nor did he use Horses. Horses did figure in the short-lived Comic Book based on Howdy Doody and having the same name.

The fictional town of Doodyville. It was not quite clear whether A.

( Phineas T Bluster was his full name, more or less a Scrooge-type, but non-violent comic villain.)

Who did rope tricks on the Howdy Doody show?

arguably the show"s ( Western ) host Buffalo Bob Smith, who derived his name in part from the Western showman Buffalo Bill Cody. for some odd reason ( maybe bad grammar) Howdy was banned in our household when I was growing up and I was aware of it mainly from commercials.
