Trivia

The title of his Pittsburgh, Pa. based comedy/variety kids TV show was "Adventuretime". On that show, Shannon played many comedic characters and performed magic tricks (as his silent magician character: "The Great Mysto"), worked with a loudmouth puppet character known as "Lippy The Leprechan". Performed bizarre pantomime comedy skits as "Nosmo King" (a wild looking hippie that sported a top coat, dark glasses, a fedora hat, gloves and a beard), engaged his studio audiences and his viewers in games, stories, craft making hobbies, informational segments and interviews with guest performers, personalities and with kids in the studio audience. Beginning at "The Holiday House Hotel and Nightclub" in Monroeville, Pennsylvania (a suburb of Pittsburgh), "Adventuretime" was patterned after WABD/WNEW/WNYW TV Ch. 5 NYC's "Wonderama".
