From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Pinky Lee (May 2, 1907 – April 3, 1993, born Pincus Leff), was a male American Burlesque comic and host of a children's television show, The Pinky Lee Show in the early 1950s. His signature costume was a loud plaid suit with baggy checkered pants; he was also easily recognized by his trademark lisp. He opened each show with his trademark theme song and laugh, part of which went, "Yoo Hoo, It's me, my name is Pinky Lee, with my checkered hat and my checkered coat, and my silly laugh like a billy goat...!" The show, which spawned later imitators such as the Pee Wee's Playhouse, preceded the popular Howdy Doody Show, but was cancelled when Lee collapsed on camera in 1955.
