Frank Nelson

[Bugsy Boy]

Frank Nelson was an actor and common cartoon vocalist with a rather interesting voice.One thing he seemed famous for,was saying"Yyyeeees"at the top of his voice.Among the cartoon voices he did,was the voice of a department store salesman in The Flintstones episode"The Hot Piano",who played an instramental piano duet of"Strolling Through The Park One Day"with Barney."Oooo very sneaky"was probably his most remembered line from that show.Frank also supplied the voice of Spiffy in The Oddball Couple,the cartoon take off of The Odd Couple,as well as Uncle Dudley of the Dinky Doggy cartoons of the late 70s.He also appeared quite frequently on The Jack Benny Program,"Not you, Jack the doorman.You're not the only Jack in the world you know."I beleive he also did a few McDonalds commercials in the early 80s,where he commonly used his trademark"Yyyeeees"expression.Does anyone know if Frank Nelson is still around today?

Let us also not forget perhaps Frank's first voice work in cartoons (and one of his only theatrical voice jobs), the narration for "Dig That Dog", one of my all-time favorite cartoons.

Also, regarding of Frank Nelson is still around, sadly, no. He died on September 12, 1986.

He also appeared in quite a few "Sanford and Son" episodes.

It was Nelson who was responsible for perhaps the longest laugh in the history of Jack Benny's radio show. Early in one episode, announcer Don Nelson is supposed to say something about Drew Pearson, a famous newspaper columnist of the era. But somehow it comes out "Drear Pooson" by mistake, eliciting a hearty laugh from the cast and audience.

Later in the same episode, Benny accosts Nelson. "Are you the doorman?" he asks. "Who do I look like in this uniform," Nelson snaps, "Dreeeeeeear Pooson?" For the next minute or two, Benny and the audience are convulsed with helpless laughter.

Nelson later revealed that his ad-lib came at the behest of Benny's writers, who attended the taping of the show and ushered him aside after Wilson's initial flub. Nelson was reluctant to incur Benny's wrath by deviating from the script, and only agreed to say the line after the writers promised to take the heat if Benny objected.
