Spotlight: Dressed in a plaid suit and plaid hat, and sporting a
large, floppy bow tie, Pinky Lee was the energetic host of a variety show for
children in the 1950s. Kids loved his rapid-fire style of telling jokes, his
pratfalls and his silliness. Lee was in the middle of one of his frenetic
routines on live TV in 1955 when he collapsed. He only returned to the TV
screen in 1957, hosting The Gumby Show for a few months before the show
was taken off the air. Pinky Lee would have been 100 years old today.
