Happy Birthday to WIVK's Hoss (Ron Cantwell). Only Hoss and Terry Womack have anchored the overnight show on WIVK for the past 40 years, now voiced tracked...Here are some answers to questions from yesterday~
"The commercial remembered was for Snuffy's variety store in Jimtown, home of the Big Orange Dope. The original "this here's me for Snuffy's" was Carson "King of the Morning". When he moved on, an Oak Ridge High School student named Dave Lambert assumed the role of "me for Snuffy's." About the time he left, the Snuffster's advertising began winding down. I think Carson ended up as a veterinarian, and Dave became a big security honcho at the Oak Ridge plants. We did do a big campaign on the air when WATE-TV was going to pre-empt Saturday Night Live to show a local movie. But I can't remember who voiced all that....I've fired a few too many synapses since then to remember how that went down." (Mike Beverly WOKI Survivor)
"George, Is Marvin talking about "This is me for Snuffy's"? I loved his commercials on WOKI in the late 70's and early 80's! I'd really love to know who "me" was!" (Terry West)
"In reply to Marvin Hoffman, the character was either “Me For Snuffy’s” or “The Reverend Judge Noose Coolidge”. “Coolidge” was a creation of Mike Beverley but I forget who did “Me”. (500 MegaWatt)
