The only thing I remember about Captain Kangaroo is when he forgot to turn off his microphone and made the statement, "Well I guess that takes care of the little bastards another day", at the end of one of his shows.

Wrong guy. The one who did that ran the Buster Brown show "I'm Buster Brown. I live in a shoe. That's my dog Tighe. Look for him in there, too." The same one who worked with Froggie, "Plunk your magic twanger, Froggie."

Or was it Fiorello LaGuardia?

Oh yeah! Been along time since I've thought about that.

And old' Froggie would appear with a big BOING! and a yuck, yuck' yuck', before tricking his partner into cracking an egg over his head, or some other such nonsense,

Oh, those good old' days...

Thanks for reminding me, Marylander.

Wrong! and Wrong! That quote is from a series of records put out in the early '50s titled "Pardon My Blooper" I don't remember the name of the show, but it was radio, not television, it was from the '30s or '40s and it definitely was not Captain Kangaroo or Andy Devine.
