The person behind the punchline
A little backstory.
Ernie Anderson was an American broadcaster, announcer and actor whose comedy appearances included The Carol Burnett Show. In the archive he plays Dr. Cooper in The Family: Hospital Visit. This supporting performance was part of his work in television beyond the distinctive voice heard in network promotions.
Anderson became known in Cleveland as Ghoulardi, the irreverent host of a late-night horror-film programme. He later worked extensively as an ABC announcer, giving the network’s promotions a recognisable vocal identity. His career encompassed radio, television hosting, voice work and comic acting.
