Trivia: What items would fall on Captain Kangaroo following a joke from Mr. Moose?
Popcorn
Ping pong balls
Feathers
Water balloons
The correct answer is Ping pong balls
So why is this answer correct? : When “Captain Kangaroo” producers were dissatisfied with a puppet made by a professional, set painter Gus “Cosmo” Allegretti volunteered to make a replacement. Soon he brought life to such characters as Bunny Rabbit, Dancing Bear, and the mischievous Mr. Moose. The antlered puppet would ask corny jokes with punchlines somehow involving ping pong balls, which would then shower down on the Captain.
