The Real Scooby Doo, Shaggy, Wilma, Daphne and Fred

As a kid I was a big fan of the Scooby Doo cartoon series. As a young adult I did quite a bit of voice-over work for corporate training videos and radio spots. Later in life I was also very fortunate to have done over 80 hour-long live radio shows on a couple of big-time stations.

Long story short: I’m an aficionado of professional voice talent and a sucker for Shaggy – who was voiced by Casey Kasem of American Top 40 radio fame. I hope you enjoy this interview with the people behind the characters as much as I did.

BTW: I hope to meet Frank Welker one day. He’s a great talent in spite of his weird name.

The Top 10 Cartoon Theme Songs

While I don’t agree with most of Time Magazine’s choices on this list (where’s Tom Slick, George of the Jungle or The Banana Splits?), it’s still a fun trip down memory lane.

Hate The iPhone? Watch This!

Give it a least a minute before you give up. This is funny.

“Fuck it. My sister says Walgreen’s has iPhones in stock.”

Chuck E. Cheese or Chester the Molestor?

Ever wondered about people who are willing to dress up in a Mickey Mouse, Big Bird or even random chicken costume for their job?

Well wonder no more.

According to this story reported at OnPointNews.com, a woman customer who claimed she was groped by Chuck E. Cheese has reached an out of court settlement with CEC Entertainment.

Jennifer Sorbello… alleged in a complaint filed last year that William Thigpen “touched and groped [her] breast with his hand” while performing as the Chuck E. Cheese mascot at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in St. Louis.

“Greeting patrons … while costumed and disguised as ‘Chuck E. Cheese’ was a task within the course and scope of Thigpen’s employment,” the suit said, and Thigpen was “engaged in such duty” when he allegedly groped Sorbello.

Yo Chuck, get a grip – and not on Jennifer’s boob!
