That is Charlie Stevenson on the left. And they played real circus music.
Kennedy did the announcing on Carson and Barnes and one of his pitches I will never forget as he said be sure and see out on the midway a real live goooooorilla.
Yes instead of a gorilla it was a goooooooorilla.

Kennedy is the father of elephant owner Bill Swain and Snooks [his wfe] is the oldest daughter of the big Plunkett family of Rep. show fame. She is the was the aunt bof James Plunkett. Kennedy was also a fine Rep. show performer in his earlier years. Great people and fine showfolks.
