" The multi-talented ventriloquist Paul Winchell and his sassy wooden sidekick Jerry Mahoney appeared on a number of television programs in the 1950s.

Perhaps Winchell's most memorable program was THE PAUL WINCHELL AND JERRY MAHONEY SHOW broadcast on the NBC network from 1950-54 both in prime time and on Saturday morning.

Set in Jerry Mahoney's Clubhouse, this musical/variety/comedy featured an audience of twenty children who competed for prizes and were entertained by the antics of Jerry Mahoney, the President of the club who didn't particularly like woman."
