Title: Who Was This Person? #10
Post by: CG6468 on April 26, 2012, 09:41:11 AM
This comedian, singer, actor, songwriter, guitarist and composer used an assumed first name, which was modified a bit by a big-time (back then) radio and TV personality.

Now get outta here.....

Keep trying. It's not your wife!

I NEVER imagined this would be so long-lasting....maybe it's an age thing, but this guy was around until the 1980s. (That's another clue!)

After a bit of Nadining, I am not so sure anymore as I found on the official site that Gleason got his nickname from his mother. But he seems to fit in a every other way.

Now it is getting like an episode of House.

Maybe you wouldn't have to ride it so long if you gave some more clues. But you might want to make it a version of 20 questions, after 20 wrong guesses, just spill. Since it's your baby make what rules seem reasonable to you !

I just started this to take a break from the political bullshit that we're subjected to 24x7. But your suggestion sounds OK!

Did you get the clue from the "What are you listening to" thread? I figured I'd give that a shot!

Nah !

No. I saw earlier that someone said he was black and I used my Nadin-Fu to figure it out. I was thinking at first it was Flip Wilson and I thought of other performers with goofy first names. "Scat" and the references to "get otta here" made the most sense.
