What is the name of Mister Rogers' tiger puppet?
Fred Rogers played all of the puppets in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. He was the bossy king, nosy owl, and cat who meowed between every other word, but the tiger was always the most personal. What is the name of Mister Rogers' tiger puppet?
▼
Correct Answer: Daniel
(Source)The original plan for "The Children's Corner" was to have a bird puppet come out of the cuckoo clock, but the night before the show premiered, Rogers was given a small tiger puppet by Dorothy Daniel. So he cut a slit in the painted clock on his set and decided that for only the first show, they'd use Daniel to tell the time. He was the president of the "Tame Tiger Torganization" and was so popular with children that in 2012, PBS gave him his own animated spinoff, "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood."
