Romper Room

Romper Room was a children's television series which ran in the United States from 1953 to 1994. The program was targeted at pre-schoolers (children five years of age or younger).

Hostesses

The first Romper Room hostess was Nancy Claster, who helped produce the series with her husband under the Claster Television banner. Miss Nancy hosted the show from the first episode in 1953 until 1963, when she was replaced with Sally Claster Gelbard, Miss Nancy's daughter. Miss Sally hosted the show until 1981, when it was retitled and Molly McCloskey took over (she had previously been a Romper Room host in New York City). While many local versions ended in the late 1980s and early 1990s, nationally syndicated episodes of Romper Room and Friends with Miss Molly stopped airing in 1994.
