Hosted local TV (Los Angeles) with
The Tim McCoy Show (1952) for children on weekday
afternoons and Saturdays in which he provided authentic history lessons
on the Old West. He won a local Emmy but wasn't there to pick it up. He
was competing against "Webster Webfoot" in the "Best Children's Show"
category and refused to show up saying, "I'll be damned if I'm going to
sit there and get beaten by a talking duck!"
