Years active: 1960's
Another first. Feep might have been the first animated host. Ed McDonnell actually played quite a few characters for WNAC-TV Channel 7 out of Boston. He played the space suited Major Mudd for the afternoon cartoon block and Lord Brumblebook for the Saturday afternoon jungle picture features.
Feep, on the other hand, was a six inch high doll chromo-keyed against a backdrop and usually menaced by giant hands, that is when he didn't stumble into the films themselves. Another odd thing, is that Feep hosted Allied Artist features, rather than the traditional Universal Shock package.
Ed McDonnell passed away in 1979.
