Mr. Moose was a puppet character (in the form of a moose) on the children's television show Captain Kangaroo. He is best known for riddles and knock-knock jokes that resulted in hundreds of ping-pong balls cascading from above and hitting the Captain in the head. He was portrayed by Cosmo Allegretti. Allegretti was also known for portraying Mr. Moose's companion, the carrot-stealing Bunny Rabbit, and The Captain's hapless klutz of a painter and handyman, Dennis.
