None of the above - I'm merely as old as you probably are.
Who was that fat guy - Jingles? Or was that a different show.



Jingles (Andy Devine) was Gene Autry's side kick. Pat Butram did the
talk in a funny voice/do stupid things honors for Roy.

But in the Roy Rodgers show, what was CHARACTER's name who drove the jeep?

Was the Jeep's name "Nellie"?

PS my parents married the day before Pearl Harbor.

Okay, I did some research and found I had that all screwed up. Gene
Autry's sidekick was Pat Buttram. At various times his character was
called: Pat; Pat Jensen; Patrick Smith; and Hap Wallace

The Roy Rogers show had the jeep named Nelliebelle, the driver of the
jeep was Pat Brady.

Andy Devine was the character Jingles or Jingles P. Jones, he was in a
number of Roy Rogers movies as that character. And he played the
Jingles character in numerous other movies, in TV, etc.

This stuff is all too important to be left uncorrected. :)

I was "just starting to show" when your folks got married. I was born
on the last day of the Battle of Midway and my 2nd Birthday was D-Day
(June 6th 1944).
