AS SEEN ON TV: HEEEEERE'S CARSON!

One thing I've always liked about Toobworld is how it idealizes real life. H. Ross Perot looks like Richard Crenna? Ryan White's mom looks like Judith Light? Traitor Robert Hanssen looks like William Hurt? Frank Caliendo as Bill Clinton? Okay, maybe not that one.....

One of the earliest examples of this would be Bill Williams as Kit Carson back in the 1950's. Here's what the real Kit Carson looked like:

And here's Bill Williams in the role:

CHRISTOPHER HOUSTON "KIT" CARSON

AS SEEN IN:
'The Adventures Of Kit Carson'

AS PLAYED BY:
Bill Williams Williams played the role for four years on the series and in one episode of 'The Red Skelton Show' as well. For thousands of kids growing up during that time, he probably was Kit Carson. But he's a far cry from the original! In fact, he looks more like he should be performing with the Sons of the Pioneers....... BCnU!
