Hmm, a bit confusing about the names you mentioned, especially since I know the category. Are you asking for some of there, um, alter egos?

One (well two now) of my favorite weeks on Letterman were the ventriloquist weeks!

1. Jay Johnson A - Most known for Bob but I liked Darwin on Letterman!
2. Shari Lewis D - Lamb Chop of course
3. Ronn Lucas (just for lb) A - Scortch, tried to see him in Vegas last trip but he was apparently "between venues" at the time.
4. Pinkus Wilchinski D? Sounds familiar but not sure why
5. Jeff Dunham A - Peanut and Walter!
6. Ray Alan D? Not familiar with him
7. Wayland Flowers D - Madame
8. Jim Barber A - Seville
9. Wayne Federman A? - Don't know him
10. Wenceslao Moreno D - Senor Wences, don't recall what his truly genuine "hand" puppet was called.

Bleah, even after carefully reading the instructions, I think I misunderstood them. At least if I did, I have company. Ha!

Although, if I did read them wrong, I got one right by accident

Spoiler

in putting Senor Wences, just because I couldn't remember what he called his little wig hand (although I remember him calling it something).
