The Friendly Giant is a children's television program that aired on CBC Television from September 30, 1958, through to March 1985. It featured three main characters: a giant named Friendly (played by Bob Homme), who lived in a huge castle, along with his puppet animal friends Rusty (a rooster who played a harp, guitar, and accordion and lived in a book bag hung by the castle window), and Jerome (a giraffe who was tawny with purple spots and poked his head in the window). The two principal puppets of the CBC version of the show were manipulated and voiced by Rod Coneybeare.[4] Originally in Wisconsin, they were manipulated and voiced by Ken Ohst.[5]
