Wow that New Zealand KFC ad really brought back memories...sigh. My parents couldn't afford that shite when I was growing up so my brother and I always looked at the TV enviously when that ad came on (sad but true). I reckon if you started humming that tune in New Zealand nowadays anybody over the age of 30 would chime in at the correct moment with "And Hugo said you go, and I said no you go...".
Ah, happy days when we lived in a 3rd world socialist state he he! |

Yes, it was Willard Scott.
| Quote: |
The first version of Ronald McDonald's origins involves Willard Scott (a local radio personality who also played Bozo the Clown on WRC-TV in Washington, D.C. from 1959 until 1962), who performed using the moniker "Ronald McDonald, the Hamburger-Happy Clown" in 1963 on three separate television spots. These were the first three television ads featuring the character, whose later appearance was substantially similar to George Voorhees' prior appearance as Ronald Mcdonald (spelt with a lower-case "d") as shown in the Valley News and Green Sheet, a San Fernando Valley newspaper of the time.
Scott, who went on to become NBC-TV's "Today" show weatherman, claims to have "created Ronald McDonald" according to the following excerpt from his book Joy of Living:
"At the time, Bozo was the hottest children's show on the air. You could probably have sent Pluto the Dog or Dumbo the Elephant over and it would have been equally as successful. But I was there, and I was Bozo... There was something about the combination of hamburgers and Bozo that was irresistible to kids... That's why when Bozo went off the air a few years later, the local McDonald's people asked me to come up with a new character to take Bozo's place. So, I sat down and created Ronald McDonald." |
