It was Captain Pitt and this dude:

 

Paul V. Shannon (born November 11, 1909, Chartiers Township, Pennsylvania; died July 25, 1990, Lantana, Florida) was a veteran Pittsburgh radio announcer in the days before commercial television. He worked for years at KDKA radio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and hosted his own show as the "Dream Weaver," reading romantic poetry to electric organ accompaniment. He also hosted the syndicated science-focused program Adventures in Research with Thomas Phillips.[1]

 

After moving to WTAE TV, he became a Pittsburgh legend, particularly to the Baby Boom generation, as host of the popular children's television show Adventure Time. The show aired on WTAE channel 4 in the afternoons. The show showed Three Stooges shorts and the first color Anime, Kimba the White Lion in serialised form along with skits and songs.

...and Scholastic book fairs. My parents weren't readers, so I owe my booklove to these things at school and Reading Rainbow at home. I thought Levar was so awesome with his earring. If he said books were cool, I knew they must be.
