The Popeye Theater with Mister Mac is a local children's television show that aired on Cleveland's WKYC-TV from 1968 through 1971. The program was hosted by a character named Aloysius T. MacGillicuddy (or Mister Mac), played by Cleveland actor Leif Ancker.[1]
Mr. Mac lived in a tree and served as the "Commissioner of the Bureau of Elves, Leprechauns and Little People" in the "Department of Utter Confusion." Popeye cartoons were interspersed with skits featuring Mr. Mac and his upstairs neighbor, Clyde Moose.
