Similar Characters [#03]

Dave Willock as Tugwell
John Hubbard as Willy
Tugwell (Dave Willock on The Jack Carson Show) could be a double with Willy (both Robert North and John Hubbard played the part on The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show.)

Both characters were essentially the same; neither worked (or did so very seldomly); they were ego-bursting foils to both Carson and Harris - as they seemed to have nothing better to do than lounge around the house and do just that.

Carson and Harris would sometimes complain openly about their particular foils (especially Harris) but very little was ever done about it to remedy the situation.

It appeared as though Tugwell was kin to Carson (I really don't know and have only heard 10-12 episodes of The Jack Carson Show) but I do know Willy was Alice Faye's brother - so Harris was stuck with him.
