It was Christmas Eve, 1961. Ventriloquist Shari Lewis appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show with Lamb Chop & Charlie Horse. Judging from some of the comments on YouTube, it seems Shari had a huge fan following back in the day, especially among smitten little boys.
To think that 8 years later, Shari would team with fellow ventriloquist Paul Winchell on Love, American Style in what had to be a dream pairing. By then, of course, Shari had Honey Halfwitch and The Arabian Knights on her resume, but she & Paul never worked on a project together at Hanna-Barbera that we know of.
