1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Jumb Mission with Jonesy and Amanda. It's sad to hear

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: that the creator of Ozzie Ostrich, Ernie Carroll, passed away

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: at the age of ninety two. I always remember waking

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: up on a Saturday morning when this old I am

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: when Hay Hates Saturday used to be on Saturday Morning

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: plaid cartoon, and I just said, there were a little

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: ball of cel in the cross legs watching Hey, Hay

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: it Saturday, and knowing there was something great about this show.

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: The show always worked on two levels. Even when there

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: was Saturday mornings, there was an element there that adults

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 2: could watch it too. There's a double on tond Then

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: of course it went to nights, as we know, and

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: Ozzy ostridche maintained his humor and his dignity, so gentleness

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: about the ostriche and that's because of the man behind him,

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: Ernie Carroll. Ernie was one of the early pioneers on television. Really,

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: he started in radio and Ozzie Ostridge was born on radio.

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: I think inspired by a French show that had a

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: talking duck, right, and so he said, you know, I'll

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: make an Ostrich so on radio. It's much easier on television.

20
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: Now I've got to make an Ostrich that's true. So

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: there he was amazing. Isn't it that all our He's

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 2: a link to all our lives? He really is. And

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: it was with great sadness. Well, this is what was

24
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: written yesterday. This is what Daryl Summer's release. It's with

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: overwhelming sadness I announced the passing of my beloved friend

26
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: and mentor, Ernie Carroll. Ernie was a pioneer of television,

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 2: starting back in the fifties when television was in its infancy.

28
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: So much love now to Ernie Carroll. He was ninety two,

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: and that means that Ossie Ostridge is gone.

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: Now where does Ozzie go to?

31
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: Well, I think we had Ossie retired, was Ozzie still

32
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: was part of show? The show?

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: It was Ernie doing the voice.

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: It was still Ernie. It's Ernie on the show, so

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: he was still involved. Still he would have been ninety

36
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: at the time. Yea, rest in peace. My Saturday mornings
