Famed TV announcers/game show hosts Don Wilson, Allen Ludden, and Dennis James play parodies of 60s newsmen Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley, and David Brinkley. Ludden and James even use the trademark lines "Good night, Chet. Good night, David."
Other depictions of the Penguin running for Mayor of Gotham City were seen in the film Batman Returns and TV series Gotham. The show's animated spin off also featured a story in which The Joker was elected Mayor of Gotham City.
Don Wilson is best known as the announcer and side kick for Jack Benny. Madge Blake made appearances on the Jack Benny TV Program, featured as a member of the Jack Benny Fan Club.
