The Latest News

My inspiration has passed away. My beloved Gma Jewell Sanders passed away peacefully in her home on June 9th. Her daughter (My aunt Loana) & I were with her. She is the one who helped raise me & taught me to be the funny man I am today. Gma Jewell was the inspiration for my 'Gma Beulah' character. Gma was not only my Gma but, my best friend. Words can't begin to say "Thank you" enough for the outpouring of love & support during this difficult time in my life as well as the rest of my family. Here's one of my favorite photos of she & I together for a photo shoot for a TV pilot that that I made a couple of years ago. Gma Jewell would have been 88 on June 15th.

My great friends, Jim Barber & Dave Hamner, asked me to make an appearance on their newest venture. Check it out at BransonWebcast.com & let me & them know what you think!

I've Moved!

This is going to be a very different season for me.  I'm still as busy as before, working at Silver Dollar City all day long, Doug Gabriel’s talent show ‘Branson Spotlight’ in the summer months, the Vacation Channel with my own hour-long TV show called ‘Branson Country’ all year, & the Shepherd of the Hills play at night time.  Not to mention my personal appearances. 

Here are some photos from the play of our sons:
Austin Sanders and Evan Sanders 

In 2002 our youngest son Austin, & I were cast in the play, Sanders and Sanders at Shepherd of the HillsAustin was ‘Little Pete’ & I was ‘Ollie Stewart’.  Click here for The Shepherd of the Hills 2008 schedule.  I'll get to play several characters this season, ‘Ollie’, Doc’ who’s catch-phrase is “What would Sarah & the girls say?”, & a few others.

At Silver Dollar City this 2008 season I will be an ‘Image’ Maker’ playing many characters! One of which is one I started portraying back in 1984, ‘Mr. M. Balmer; the undertaker. Another will be ‘Ada Mae Wheeler’ a character that I played in the Shepherd of the Hills play. ‘Doc Harris’ is a character to fit the theme of Wildfire. He’s the ‘nut’ who created wild this ride. A new character for me will be ‘W. P. Warburton’ the prison warden from the ‘Flooded Mine’. He will greet you in the mornings as you enter the park with his shotgun in one hand & his trusty bloodhound in the other.

Ada MaeThis is ‘Ada Mae’ & boys, she’s single!
