A high point of the show came each Christmas season, when Paul Shannon loaded children's letters to Santa Claus into a rocket, and launched it to the North Pole. Santa later opened the letters and read them on the air. Martin's main character in the series was Baby Jeffy. The puppet was lost at one point in production, and Negri claims Martin reacted ``like Jeffy was kidnapped.'' In his book, Moe Howard of the Three Stooges credited Paul Shannon with sparking renewed interest in the Stooges.
