Watched Mr Toot as a child. And was on the show with my sisters and brother. Duluth Minnesota

Dear Deacon: Mr. Toot was a local kiddie show host in the Duluth, MN/Superior, WI area, seen in the late afternoons Monday thru Friday over Channel 6, WDSM-TV, later called KBJR-TV. He was played by Ray Paulsen, the station's weathercaster. It was necessary to play a half-hour filmed show after Mr. Toot to allow Ray to take off his clown make-up and put on a suit and tie to appear on the early news! Those were the days when local stations had personality (and personalities!)

I like the superimposed Reddy Kilowatt marionette.

Ray is very ill now. He's now in a hospice. He was a talented personality in the Twin Ports!

Do you have any more footage of MR TOOT from the 1970's WDSM/KBJR?

Goodby, Mr. Toot.
