Ted Zeigler - Comedy genius

Ted Zeigler was a master of the ad lib and could make parents laugh as hard as their kids. In front of a live camera he was like Robin Williams, but more than a dozen years before Williams made it onto the scene.

The Johnny Jellybean show, made for little kids, was a cult-classic with teens as well and many parents as well. He and Peter Cullen (The Buddies) were a marvelous team in subsequent years and CFCF incarnations. When they and a slew of other Canadian talent made the exodus to LA (a return to the US for Zeigler) with Aussie Chris Beard (CBC's Nightcap) to do Laugh In, Sonny & Cher, etc., they left quite a gap in Canadian TV. Sadly, I think they were all largely underutilized (at least in front of the camera).
