When Mel Blanc passed away, Warner Bros. released a tribute print with the characters Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam, Sylvester the cat, Tweety, Pepe Le Pew, Porky Pig, Foghorn Leghorn, and Daffy Duck bowing their heads with their eyes closed while facing an empty microphone in a spotlight with the word "Speechless" at the top. A very poignant and genius tribute.

Noel says that his father has done over 15 hundred voices including other characters like Daffy Duck, Porky pig, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, And countless others However Noel is lucky to have a Famous father.

@@wmden1 One great story they didn't tell... There was one episode where Jack is wearing a new suit. They made a big deal of this because, why would a guy of Jack's thrift buy a NEW suit. So, Don Wilson compliments Jack's new suit. Jack asks how he heard that he got a new suit, and Don was supposed to say "I read it in Drew Pearson's column." but instead he said "I read it in Dreer Pooson's column." Later in the show, Frank Nelson was on. There was one line in the exchange between him and Jack that Jack didn't like... he didn't think it would get a big laugh. Jack asks Frank if he's the doorman, and he says "Who do I look like, Nelson Eddy?" Nelson recently played a Canadian mountie and that's the image they wanted the audience to vision. Moments after Don's flub, the writers had an idea and gave Frank Nelson a new line, without telling Jack or anyone else. So when Jack asked if he was the doorman, Frank says "Who do you think I am, DREER POOSON?" Huge laughter... Jack lost it... he laughed so hard he fell to the floor, then he had to crawl to the edge of the stage to pull himself back up!

Mr. Blanc was also a very charming man in person. Back in the early 60s I met “The Man of a Thousand Voices” himself. My family were at a corporate childrens' Xmas party at Casa Loma in Toronto. Every ballroom, hallway and stairwell of this real live castle was filled with musicians, clowns, magicians and jugglers...and a quietly-smiling, unassuming man in a neat dark suit and a tiny moustache. He complimented my little sister, literally a "babe in arms", telling her "Ohhhh! What a tweet widdle girl you are!" She was unimpressed and a little shy but I was thunderstruck as he turned to me and offered his hand burbling (and slobbering) "And what's YOUR name young fella!"

@@Andrew-13579 😁 Mel Blanc had many different voices and the first time that I ever heard Mel Blanc speak in his normal voice, I was kind of a little bit shocked too and I always thought that Mel Blanc was kind of a quiet man too, but, not so with all of his looney tune’s voices! lol😁😁

I was very fortunate to see Mel Blanc in person at the University of Tulsa during his college tour several years ago.. He did his English horse routine there, too, plus some other voices I had never heard before. He should have won an Oscar as Best Actor, he brought life and personality to painted images on film.

If this were recorded today, (when Benny was spontaneously trying to get Mel to reenact the bit from the cartoon), they'd just show a clip. But back then, they didn't have such things at their flippant disposal. They had to reenact it on the fly. Those were the days. I wasn't alive then, but my dad raised me on old time radio, Benny, Carson and so many other genius talents from yesteryear.
