From 1960 to 1982, WFBC weathermen Monty DuPuy and Stowe Hoyle hosted the immensely popular children’s program Monty’s Rascals. Hoyle played the part of “Mr. Doohickey” in this wig, glasses and hat.

Over the course of its twenty two year run, thousands of upstate children appeared on Monty’s Rascals. What are some of your favorite memories from the show?
