Biography

Ed Herlihy was a prominent American radio and television announcer. He was well-known for his distinctive voice and as the announcer for NBC's "The Kraft Music Hall" during the 1940s and 1950s. He was also the announcer for numerous commercials and shows, including The Jack Parr Tonight Show. Additionally, Herlihy appeared in bit parts in several movies and television shows like Pee Wee's Big Adventure. As Mr. Buxton, he was none too pleased when Pee-wee broke into his mansion and accused his son Francis of stealing his bike. Pee-wee gets his revenge by giving the upset dad a stick of spicy gum. Herlihy died of natural causes in 1999 at 89.
