The great Wally
Boag was a comic genius. A vaudeville entertainer who first began
entertaining Disneyland audiences in the "Golden Horseshoe Revue" in
1955. While he will mostly remembered for spitting out his teeth in the
finale of that show, Wally did countless other projects for Disney. He
helped write "Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room," for which he also
provided the voice of Jose, the emcee bird. He appeared in television
shows and movies for Disney, and would travel the world to entertain the
troops or help promote Disney's latest film releases. Disneyland Cast
Members got some extra helpings of Wally's humor when he was editor of
the "Backstage" publication. He never lost his sense of humor. To give
you an idea of this, the image that he used for his computer desktop
wallpaper was a photo of his actual desktop that his computer sat on.
Sadly, Wally passed away on June 3, 2011. I hope you enjoy the photos and
videos below.
