La primera actuación de voz de dibujos animados de Owens fue interpretar la voz de Roger Ramjet en los dibujos animados de Roger Ramjet . [1] Más tarde se desempeñó como locutor de Antenna TV .
Vida temprana
Owens nació en Mitchell, Dakota del Sur , hijo de Venetta (de soltera Clark), educador y auditor del condado, y de Bernard Joseph Altman, tesorero y sheriff del condado. [2]
Carrera profesional
1950
Owens comenzó su carrera en la radio en 1952 como reportero de noticias en KORN , Mitchell, Dakota del Sur, y dos años más tarde fue ascendido a director de noticias. En 1956, dejó KORN por un trabajo de presentador de noticias en KMA , Shenandoah, Iowa , antes de pasar a un trabajo de disc jockey en KOIL , Omaha, Nebraska . También trabajó en Dallas , Nueva Orleans , St. Louis y en KIMN en Denver antes de mudarse a California en 1959, trabajando en KROY en Sacramento y KEWB en Oakland antes de establecerse finalmente en Los Ángeles .
1960
Owens se mudó a la estación hermana de KEWB, 980 KFWB en Los Ángeles en 1961. Desde allí, se unió al personal de 710 KMPC en 1962, donde permaneció durante las siguientes dos décadas, reemplazando al presentador de la tarde anterior, Johnny Grant , trabajando de 3 p.m. a 6 p.m. turno de lunes a viernes. Un punster talentoso, Owens se hizo conocido por su humor surrealista. Entre sus señas de identidad se encuentran las apariciones diarias de "The Story Lady" (interpretada por Joan Gerber ); el rumor del día; miríadas de variedades de "La canción de Nurney"; y la introducción de la palabra sin sentido "insegrevious", que se incluyó brevemente en el Funk & Wagnalls Dictionary.
Sus términos habituales de radio en el aire incluían "krenellemuffin", como en "Volveremos en un krenellemuffin". Gary siempre le daba crédito a su ingeniero de radio al final de su transmisión: "Me gustaría agradecer a mi ingeniero, Wayne Doo, por arrastrarme en los tocadiscos" (refiriéndose al ingeniero de KMPC, Wayne DuBois). También creó los colores previamente inexistentes "veister" y "krelb".
A principios de la década de 1960, al igual que Ernie Kovacs , Steve Allen y Jonathan Winters , sus colegas cómicos estrella de la televisión , Gary Owens creó algunos personajes cómicos propios, como el brusco anciano Earl C.Festoon y su esposa Phoebe Festoon, la el viejo y estirado hombre de negocios Endocrine J. Sternwallow, y el viejo y tonto , Merle Clyde Gumpf. Otro personaje era el viejo cascarrabias y cascarrabias Mergenthaler Waisleywillow.
Owens también hizo divertidas promociones de radio, como enviar por "Tuyo", que resultó ser una postal suya en la estación de radio que simplemente decía "Tuyo"; fotografías autografiadas de Harbor Freeway en Los Ángeles; y su famoso "Moo Cow Report", en el que Gary y su personaje Earl C. Festoon describirían dónde se movían las vacas en las concurridas autopistas de Los Ángeles.
Durante este tiempo, Owens también fue conocido como "Superbeard", porque al igual que su ícono de la radio contemporáneo Wolfman Jack , lucía una barba de chivo, camisas hawaianas, bermudas holgadas y su "corbata ancha de 1941 con una chica hula". A menudo, durante estos bocetos de comedia en el aire, contaba con la ayuda de otros cómics de radio, sobre todo Bob Arbogast (conocido como "Arbo" por sus admiradores), Stan Ross (de la fama de "Drowning in the Surf" en 1963), y Jim "Weather Eyes" Hawthorne.
Owens apareció en ocho episodios de la serie de televisión de 1966-67 The Green Hornet . [ cita requerida ]
Owens también hizo su famoso "Beso de buenas noches" en KMPC cuando estaba al aire desde las 9 pm hasta la medianoche, diciendo: "Ahora me acurrucaré con un micrófono cálido y agradable y me abrazaré ", creando un gran efecto de sonido de beso húmedo. seguido por el efecto de sonido de un gong. En 1966, Owens colaboró con Bob Arbogast, June Foray , Daws Butler , Paul Frees y otros en un álbum de parodia de comedia titulado Sunday Morning With the Funnies con la orquesta de Jimmy Haskell en Reprise Records.
Durante este período, Owens se hizo más conocido como la voz de los personajes de dibujos animados de televisión del mismo nombre en Roger Ramjet y Space Ghost ; el excitante narrador / locutor de The Perils of Penelope Pitstop ; y quizás el más conocido, como el locutor de mano en la oreja en el stand de Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In , mientras continúa su programa en KMPC. También fue anfitrión de su programa de juegos diario derivado, Letters to Laugh-In , durante su breve ejecución en 1969.
Aprovechando la fama de Laugh-In de Owens , Mel Blanc Audiomedia , una productora de audio con sede en Beverly Hills, California , desarrolló y comercializó The Gary Owens Special Report , un paquete de 260 episodios de programas de comedia de radio sindicados.
Gary Owens apareció en los pilotos de Barrio Sésamo en un boceto llamado "El hombre del alfabeto" como el personaje principal, un espía torpe con una gabardina que, con la ayuda de un joven repartidor de periódicos llamado HB, intentó atrapar al villano Digby Dropout y su secuaz Dunce usando pistas del "Libro del Alfabeto" de HB. Inicialmente, el Hombre también debía haber tenido un jefe, "Maestro". Los segmentos fueron creados por el productor ejecutivo de Barrio Sésamo, David Connell, y hacían referencia a series de espías irónicas como Get Smart y The Man from UNCLE . A pesar de la publicidad anticipada y la inversión de Connell en la serie, "El hombre del alfabeto" resultó ser un fracaso con las audiencias de prueba. La combinación de los constantes intentos fallidos y de resolución de problemas del Hombre del Alfabeto confundió a los niños, y las lecciones nunca llegaron. El papel de HB como verdadero solucionador de problemas no se entendió claramente, un hecho exacerbado por la entrega forzada y la mala dicción del actor infantil. Según la evaluación de Edward L. Palmer, "La cantidad de contenido educativo verdaderamente eficaz, en relación con nuestros objetivos, es prácticamente nula". El Hombre del Alfabeto también atravesó la ventana de su puerta para entrar a su oficina, un movimiento violento que podría haber resultado imitable. Después de revisar los resultados de la prueba, el productor Connell aconsejó que los segmentos se archivaran, refiriéndose a ellos como "La locura de Connell". Los segmentos nunca se emitieron en Barrio Sésamo .
Fue guionista de Jay Ward Productions , apareció en muchas series para Walt Disney e hizo más de 30.000 comerciales. También fue estrella invitada en The Munsters , I Dream of Jeannie y McHale's Navy .
A fines de la década de 1960, cuando las películas de comediantes de la década de 1930 como los hermanos Marx , WC Fields y Mae West encontraban una nueva audiencia, Owens narró discos fonográficos que contenían clips de sonido de las películas.
Owens apareció como corresponsal de carreras en The Love Bug de Disney (1968).
1970
En 1972, lanzó el LP de comedia Put Your Head On My Finger para el sello MGM-Pride.
En 1973, Owens escribió The (What to Do while you're holding the) Phone Book ( ISBN 0-87477-015-7 ), una mirada cómica a la historia del teléfono .
En 1973, Gary Owens apareció en la primera temporada de Barnaby Jones; episodio titulado "Veinte millones de coartadas" (6 de mayo de 1973). Interpretó el papel de Gary Michaels.
En el álbum en vivo Uptown Rulers de la banda de funk The Meters , se puede escuchar a Owens en la primera pista que presenta a la banda. La grabación en vivo tuvo lugar el 24 de marzo de 1975 en la fiesta de lanzamiento de Paul y Linda McCartney para el álbum Venus and Mars que se llevó a cabo a bordo del RMS Queen Mary .
Owens did the humorous news blurbs that are interspersed throughout the 1975 film The Prisoner of Second Avenue. In 1976-77, he hosted the first season of the nighttime version of The Gong Show; he was replaced by the show's creator, Chuck Barris.[3] In that same year, Owens became the voice of a new cartoon character, the Blue Falcon, a character who fought crime in fictional Big City with the "help" of his clumsy sidekick, Dynomutt, also known as Dynomutt, Dog Wonder. The series was a parody of Batman, specifically the live-action version starring Adam West. It was not uncommon to see the Blue Falcon use various "falcon gadgets", much like Batman used various "Bat-Equipment" items. The falcon belt was used in a similar fashion to Batman's utility belt with an endless supply of weapons and other devices. Owens would provide the voice of the Blue Falcon from 1976 through 1977 in 20 half-hour episodes. The 1977 episodes were broken into two parts that ran 11 minutes each — 16 episodes in 1976 and 4 episodes in 1977. Also, he narrated Yogi's Space Race in 1978 and announced for Disney's Wonderful World, starting in 1979.
1980s
Owens received a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star in 1980, between those of Walt Disney and Betty White. On August 30, 1983, Owens emceed the unveiling ceremony for the Hollywood Walk of Fame Star for The Three Stooges. Owens, a long-time friend of the Stooges, had been a major driving force in helping the Stooges get the Star. The ceremony was featured on Entertainment Tonight.
In the 1980s, he announced on jazz radio station KKJZ (then KKGO-FM) in Long Beach, California.
On the weekend of September 12–13, 1981, Owens substituted for his old KEWB station partner Casey Kasem on American Top 40. This was his only appearance on radio's first nationally syndicated countdown show. In that same year, Watermark Inc. chose Owens to replace Murray "The K" Kaufman as permanent host of Soundtrack Of The Sixties, an oldies retrospective show that ran in syndication through 1984. Immediately afterward, he hosted Creative Radio's Gary Owens' Supertracks, which was an oldies retrospective show similar to Soundtrack Of The Sixties, except it presented the fifties, sixties, and seventies.
He was the narrator of Walt Disney World's EPCOT Center pavilion, World of Motion, which operated between 1982 and 1996. His television special was "The Roots of Goofy", which aired from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s.
Owens moved from KMPC to another Los Angeles station, 1150 KPRZ, in 1982, hosting mornings at the "Music of Your Life" adult standards station. Owens in the morning and Dick Whittinghill in afternoon drive was an inversion of Owens' KMPC years.
When Roger Barkley surprisingly walked out of the long-running Lohman and Barkley Show on KFI in Los Angeles, Owens briefly teamed with Al Lohman for the successful morning commute show. Jeff Gehringer was brought on as producer. The program ended after the station changed its format to all-talk.
Owens had a hilarious bit part as an emcee for "Pimp of the Year", a dream scene in the 1988 comedy I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.
Owens also co-starred in a number of documentaries about dinosaurs in the 1980s alongside Chicago's Eric Boardman. These documentaries were distributed by the Midwich Entertainment group for the Disney Channel before it went from being a premium pay channel on cable to a standard channel.
Owens guest starred on an episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
Owens was the voice narrator on the ABC Saturday morning animated series Mighty Orbots in 1984.

1990s
In the late 1990s, Owens hosted the morning show on the Music of Your Life radio network, where he later had the evening shift and hosted a weekend afternoon show until 2006. He also announced pre-recorded station IDs for Parksville, British Columbia radio station CHPQ-FM (The Lounge), and for humorist Gary Burbank's long-running afternoon show on WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio (Burbank took his stage name from Owens). Owens was also the announcer for America's Funniest Home Videos from 1995 to 1997, the last three years of Bob Saget's hosting tenure, replacing Ernie Anderson.
The cartoon SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron featured Owens as the voice of Commander Ulysses Feral, a police chief constantly butting heads with the two main protagonists.
Owens guest starred on The Ren & Stimpy Show as the voice of Powdered Toast Man.
He lent his voice as the narrator for the 1992 voiced CD-ROM version of Sierra On-Line's Space Quest IV. He again assumed the role in the series' final installment, 1995's Space Quest 6.
In 1996, Owens would narrate the opening and interstitial bumpers of Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad.
In 1998, he appeared on Sabrina the Teenage Witch (episode: "Good Will Haunting"; Season 3, Episode 6) as "Guy Who Thinks He's Gary Owens".

Marcas comerciales
When appearing "in character" on camera as "Gary Owens, the announcer", Owens held his right hand up to his right ear while speaking into a gimbaled boom microphone. This was done in imitation of the announcers in the early days of radio, who had to rely upon the acoustic feedback of their cupped hand to hear how they sounded to the audience. Owens used this as a running gag and gave various outlandish reasons for this pose: On his KMPC radio show in the late 1960s and early 1970s, he claimed that this was because a piece of shrapnel took off his ear during the war; sometimes it would come loose and he had to hold it on; at other times he said that he was given a wooden ear, and was keeping the termites warm. This gag was later parodied by Les Lye on the Canadian children's sketch-comedy show You Can't Do That on Television.
Owens coined the phrase "Beautiful downtown Burbank", which was later used on Laugh-In and The Tonight Show.[16]
His trademark self-introduction was "This is Gary Owens, friend of those who want no friends, going places and losing things", or occasionally, "Hello, and also hi; but not necessarily in that order", as a shorter version.
Explosión del pasado
In 2001, TV Land released two computer games titled Blast from the Past, hosted by Owens and featuring other TV celebrities including Florence Henderson, Ed Asner, Davy Jones, Bob Denver, Don Adams, Barbara Eden, Todd Bridges, Alan Young, and Marion Ross, among others. The games spoofed a game show and the prize for winners was an interview with the chosen celebrity the contestant selected at the start of the game. (Players can choose Owens as a celebrity if they wish).
