Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Buffalo Bob Smith" in English language version.
Buffalo Bob Smith, a singing piano player and chatty radio disk jockey who created Howdy Doody and then teamed up with the puppet on one of early television's most enduring children's shows, died of cancer yesterday at a hospital near his home in Flat Rock, N.C. Mr. Smith was 80. His remains were cremated. Mr. Smith is survived by his wife, Mildred, to whom he was married for 57 years; three sons, Robin, Ronald and Christopher, three grandchildren and one great-grandchild. None of his sons went into show business.
"Say, kids, what time is it?" Buffalo Bob would ask his Peanut Gallery of children ages 3 to 8, gathered in an NBC studio at 30 Rockefeller Plaza every afternoon, five days a week, in the late 1940s and 1950s.
