A generation of Tulsans grew-up watching him and his alter-ego. Tulsa television icon Lee Woodward and his pal King Lionel, a lion hand puppet, presented the weather on KOTV in most of the 60s and 70s. Woodward died on Monday afternoon.
'Lee and Lionel' would joke with anchors Clayton Vaughn, Bill Pitcock and sports anchor Mack Creager, often commenting on the day's events.
Prior to the the weather, Lee and Lionel hosted a late afternoon kids show that feature cartoons and Three Stooges film shorts.
Lee Woodward was 85.
