There's a man who made a few appearances on S&S, and he always goes, yeeeeeeeeeeeeesss?

What is that guy's name?

His name was Frank Nelson. He, and his "Ye-e-e-es?" character, go at least as far back as the Jack Benny radio show! He died of cancer in 1986.
Some people consider him one of Sanford & Son's "shark-jumpers", but dang I liked that guy.

He was also the voice of Spiffy the Cat in the cartoon series "The Oddball Couple."

I didn't know he's been gone a long time. I thought he was still alive.

I also remember, there is some character on The Simpsons that imitates his yeeess act. Really funny!!!

He also played different parts on I Love Lucy also back in the 50's.
