## Early Life and History

Yosemite Sam was born as ***Samuel Rosenbaum*** in as early as December 16th, 1944, on the debut of ***Stage Door Cartoon***. However, no official birthdates occurred on December of 1944. Sam then rose to fame on May 5th, 1945, marking his first debut on ***Hare Trigger***. The voice of Yosemite Sam was the talented ***Mel Blanc***, who also did the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Speedy Gonzales and more. Voice actor Joe Alaskey played the role as Yosemite Sam in ***Who Framed Roger Rabbit?*** On June 13th, 1997, ***Jeff Bergman*** took the role as Yosemite Sam in ***Blooper Bunny***, portraying as one of the following Looney Tunes characters in honor of Bugs Bunny's 51st and a half anniversary. When Jeff Bergman retired as the voice of Yosemite Sam in late 2003, voice actor Jeff Bennett took over as the voice of Yosemite Sam in multiple Looney Tunes shorts from 2003, plus ***Looney Tunes: Back in Action***, where Yosemite Sam plays a part in a nearby casino hotel at Fremont Street, Las Vegas, Nevada.

## Recurring events in the 2010s decade

In 2011, Canadian voice actor Maurice LaMarche took over the role of voice acting as Yosemite Sam in the ***Looney Tunes Show*** and ***Wabbit***, now the ***New Looney Tunes*** series. However, in 2016, Maurice LaMarche retired from voice acting as Yosemite Sam for the installment of season 2 of the New Looney Tunes series. Voice actor Fred Tatasciore took over the role of voice acting as Yosemite Sam from season 2 up until season 3. The series made its final episode date on January 30th, 2020.

## Arrival to Vyond and the Legacy Video Maker

On July 4th, 2019, Yosemite Sam made a quick comeback in Vyond's Character Creator platform. He was then being placed in the Legacy Video Maker for Vyond (retired on December 16th, 2019). YouTube user ***Robin Hood Productions Ltd.*** was being prepared for the publishing of ***Jim Cummings Moves to Georgia,*** a 2-part short movie which stars Jim Cummings as a GoAnimate / Vyond character. The version of Yosemite Sam is being played as *Ichihashi Machiya*, a visitor in Fort Yosemite, Georgia.

Yosemite Sam made its last appearance in the Legacy Video Maker with Raider Red (also a GoAnimate / Vyond character) in Robin Hood Productions Ltd.'s final video using the Legacy Video Maker before retirement, ***Behavior Era Day***, on August 2nd, 2019. He stopped making Legacy Video Maker videos after the publishing of ***Behavior Era Chart Day***, which took place on the same date. All Vyond users have been merged to Vyond Studio entirely for the upcoming months until 2020. As of March 2020, Vyond Studio is now the permanent video maker for all Vyond users since the Legacy Video Maker for Vyond is no longer in use.
