Was that an old TV show?
There was a Casey Jones TV Show. Alan Hale starred in it.

Pretty lame by today’s standards, but that is what was on the earliest TV’s. Cabinets were huge, but our first TV screen was 7 inches. When we got a 16 inch, it was almost like being at the movies. 
Dear All,
This video tape shown is of Roger Awsumb, WTCN TV Minneapolis, MN

Some crazy fun was had…
You could send in a post card with your birth date on it, and they would roll the names near the end of the show, with Casey Jones (Roger) reading them off.
It seems that on every show there was at least one trick name, such as “Tim Burr”. Don’t know if it was the staff trying to crack Roger up, or if it was older kids sending in fake names, or both. We were glued to the set watching for the funny names.
I remember “Felix the Cat” cartoons with the “Master Cylinder”.
I remember “Roundhouse Rodney” would paint his chin with an upside down face, so the bottom of his chin appeared as the top of a pointy bald head.
Rodney’s real nose was not visible, as an upside down “collar and tie” covered it up. A television camera was turned upside down (or the picture was turned upside down electronically or by mirrors) and brought in tight for a close up of his chin and lips.
He would sing songs and crack jokes with Casey, looking totally ridiculous with a little pointy bald head and massively over-sized lips and body. Half the skit Roger was laughing uncontrollably at Rodney contorting and stretching his huge lips and tongue.
Though my siblings and I had out-grown the kiddie cartoons in the last years of the show, we mourned when we heard it was going off the air. It was replaced by a locally produced ladies talk show with a “couch and coffee table” set. The last “Lunch with Casey” show featured Roger with tears rolling down his face.
In years following he would show up at parades being driven around in a road vehicle dressed up to look like a steam engine.
Roger died back in 2002. RIP
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik
