Does anyone know who the voice actor is that did the voice of the salesman in Friz Freleng's Jungle Jitters (1938)? The salesman that says "ah hope hope hope". I know it's not Mel Blanc. Mel did the voices of the natives but not the salesman.

None other than Ted Pierce;)

The character was was done on radio by radio comedian Al Pierce who had a very popular radio show called "Al Pierce and his Gang" in the 30's and early 40's, which had several radio characters who were parodied in Warner cartoon and have a large number of catch phrases (I hope, I hope, I hope)was only one of the.

No relation between the two Pierce must be noted;)

Considering the other one is Al PEARCE, that would make sense.

Because someone mispelled Al Pearce's name. Hear a 1940 version of his show here (http://www.otrcat.com/pearce-show-p-1027.html?osCsid=nktjk0klsrjefko4rgdhmpi8m3)
