Jean Shepherd

Jean Shepherd (1921-1999) was a writer, satirist, storyteller, and radio personality, perhaps best known for his many semi-autobiographical works dealing with his childhood. Much of this later became the basis for the film A Christmas Story, for which Shepherd co-wrote the screenplay and narrated. In 1971, Shepherd recorded all of the voices for the Sesame Street cartoon insert "Cowboy X." 
Shepherd discussed the experience in detail on the September 07, 1971 broadcast of his radio program, which ran on New York station WOR from 1956 until 1977: Shepherd also noted that the voice for Cowboy X was hard on his throat: "It's not easy to holler 'Yippee!' like that."
