Jackie Vernon

Jackie Vernon was a favorite of mine. I saw him on live TV back in the day. He had a kind of high pitched voice and a Gleason-esque look, shiny/slick hair and was a little on the heavy side. He often carried a trumpet which he played now and then. His delivery was deadpan.  

I clearly remember this bit in which he is showing slides of a recent trip to the Everglades. He had only a clicker, the photos were implied.
