HERE'S A TVparty LOOK AT
HOBO KELLY
IN REAL VIDEO FORMAT - (:25)

Hobo Kelly was broadcast in Los Angeles on KCOP Channel 13 every weekday morning in the late 60s and early 70s. There was a prize giveaway involving toys coming out of a clown's mouth (with smoke to boot).

Hobo would then draw the name of a lucky kid who would get the prizes for the day. It probably left the air in 74' or 75' at the latest, but I am not sure.

(Here is a clip from KABC's great look-back at Hobo Kelly from their Evening News program a few years ago. The station did a whole week with former LA hosts.)

Where's "Froozles" which was done in the late '70s-early '80s, created by Sally Baker and frequently featuring her as Hobo Kelly? It aired weekdays mornings at 7 am on what was once KHJ TV-9 in Los Angeles(now KCAL)and produced and distributed by RKO General,the station's former owner. You can't talk about Hobo Kelly without mentioning "Froozles!"

Hobo Kelly also aired in the early seventies in Portland, Oregon.
