Question About Entertainment Tonight's Birthday Segments

[Mike123]

Hi There, It's been quite a while since I posted something here on this site. Now since I like watching ET every night, I always see their birthday segments right before the show ends, They’ve been doing this segment ever since the show began in 1981, But beginning in September 1993 and lasting through 2000, they began sponsoring their segments through an agreement with card company American Greetings, and they would have this animated bear that American Greetings came up with called the “Birthday Bear” which would show all the celebrities celebrating their birthdays on those days, Now for those who have watched ET from between September 1993 and 2000, When ET first announced their 8 year partnership with American Greetings, and whenever one of the hosts of ET at the time, (Mary Hart, John Tesh, Bob Goen, Leeza Gibbons etc.) celebrated their birthdays on those days as well, was there ever a costumed “Birthday Bear” character that ever appeared on the ET set to mark such special occasions? I bet many of you ET viewers may know the answer to this one. Here's Some Links to help you out on this one here, so that many of you will know what I'm talking about:
