ES-81A



Pincus Leff (May 2, 1907 – April 3, 1993), better

known as Pinky Lee, was an American burlesque comic and host of the children's

television program The Pinky Lee Show in the early 1950s. Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Lee worked as a

comic of the "baggy pants" variety on stage, becoming an expert at

the slapstick,

comic dancing and rapid-fire jokes of the burlesque style. During the 1940s, he

was heard on Drene Time and other radio programs. Easily

recognized by his trademark lisp and high-energy antics, his signature costume

was a loud plaid

suit

with baggy checkered pants and an undersized hat. During

his routines, whenever anybody irritated him (which happened frequently) he

would unleash his catchphrase: "Oooooh! You make me so mad!"
