[edit] Charley and Humphrey

At one time Pat hosted a children's show with two puppets called Charley, a horse who wore a sea captain's hat and Humphrey, a bulldog. Another occasionally seen puppet was a piano-playing cat in sunglasses, Pussyfoot.

[edit] Dialing for Dollars

He also hosted a show in the 1970s called Dialing for Dollars where random Bay Area people were called and asked to guess the "Count and the Amount". The calls were made at commercial breaks during the afternoon movie.
