Johnny Gingerとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Johnny Ginger (real name: Galen Grindle) was a pioneer of Detroit television. His afternoon show, Curtain Time Theater (which was always pronounced "Thee-A-ter"), entertained kids from 1956 to 1967 on WXYZ-TV Channel 7. The live portions of the show were broadcast all around the television station, with Ginger in his janitor costume of bib-overalls and driving cap. By the early 1960s Johnny adapted a new character, that of the head bellboy at the Rocky Plaza Hotel, run by Rocky Granet (the voice of Rube Weiss.) He introduced a new generation of kids to The Three Stooges and even played the part of Billy The Kid in the Stooges last film, The Outlaws Is Coming. As a gesture of gratitude, the Stooges used many of the children's hosts who had run their shorts in the cast. He, Ricky the Clown, Jingles, Poop-Deck Paul, Milkey the Clown, Rube Weiss, Captain Jolly, and Soupy Sales helped pioneer Detroit television for children in the fifties and sixties.
