“Captain Kangaroo:” Why Everyone Was Enchanted By This Show

Cast Members Had Prank Wars

Though it is only a rumor and no one really knows whether it happened or not, it has been said that backstage “Captain Kangaroo” and Mr. Green Jeans had quite a prank war. The Captain would flash his cast member right before going on stage and frequently decide to take it out and wave it at Mr. Green Jeans. In return, during a final voice-over, Mr. Green Jeans decided to pee on “Captain Kangaroo” right then and there.
