A talented accordionist, he appeared in short Soundies musicals and occasional movies (like 1949's Jolson Sings Again). He quickly became a successful arranger and composer and worked as bandleader at Slapsie Maxie's Wilshire location in Hollywood. His clients ranged from the American Junior Miss Pageant to Jackie Wilson, and he was a musician on such radio programs as The Abe Burrows Show. One of his best-known tunes is an arrangement of the song "The Happy Wanderer", and his brassy polka "Hoop Dee Doo" became a game show staple. He was also the composer of "Hooray for Santy Claus", the catchy theme song for the low-budget 1964 motion picture Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. He also composed "Roller Coaster" - recorded by Henri Rene Orchestra on RCA Victor. It was used as the closing theme for the popular Goodson-Todman panel show What's My Line? from the early 1950s until its cancellation in 1967.
Tic-Tac-Dough is an American television game show based on the paper-and-pencil game of tic-tac-toe. Contestants answer questions in various categories to put up their respective symbol, X or O, on the board. Three versions were produced: the initial 1956–59 run on NBC, a 1978–86 run initially on CBS and then in syndication, and a syndicated run in 1990. The show was produced by Barry & Enright Productions.
Jack Barry, the co-producer, was the original host of the 1950s version, followed by Gene Rayburn and then Bill Wendell, with Jay Jackson and Win Elliot hosting prime time adaptations as well. Wink Martindale hosted the network and syndicated version beginning in 1978, but left the program and was replaced by Jim Caldwell who hosted during the 1985–86 season. Patrick Wayne hosted the 1990 version.

The Gong Show (1978) NBC Burbank - RARE SOUNDCHECK with Milton Delugg and the Band With A Thug
When Chuck Barris' "The Gong Show" had its network daytime run, the show was taped at NBC Burbank - and here is a copy of a VTR air copy with the first 2 minutes featuring the band warming up on-stage in this episode while Chuck can be heard muttering about not "caring about that stuff". Hear the trumpeter (I'll assume it was Bob Findley) warming up to "The Peanut Vendor" with the rhythm section playing a few bars together of a song I can't think of (let me know, folks) at the moment.
That's Milt Delugg whining about "That's why we lost Miami". You'll hear him in the first act shouting "Go get 'em, Arthur!".

Tic Tac Dough (September 22, 1980) - Thom McKee's final show
And after 46 shows, Thom finally goes down as champion, leaving a true legacy on game show history for many years to come.
This episode has been on YouTube before, but not in this quality. And I even went through the trouble of correcting a tint problem in the master. It took me eight layers of correction, so I hope this extra work proves worthwhile.

After some delay, here's some highlights of the season 3 portion of Thom McKee's famous run. This contains his 34th game, where he passes another big milestone that would remain unbeaten in quiz shows until the Millionaire boom of 1999.
Also note that Art James is announcing this one.

Já é tarde Mais uma noite que você me Deixa aqui a te esperar assim sem saber A que horas vai chegar Ligo a TV pra tentar me distrair Mas você não chega e eu volto a insistir No seu celular Você não atende não está a fim Já passou da hora de você chegar Ligo pra teus amigos tento te encontrar Mas eles me dizem que não vão te ver Preciso de um calmante ou vou enlouquecer Se você chegasse iria adormecer A noite já se foi, amanheceu cade vc? O tic tac do relógio Parece que já parou Ele não soube te esperar Mas ainda estou aqui Volta para casa, vem me amar Que eu espero por você Só vou conseguir dormir Quando você chegar e fizer Amor comigo Já passou da hora de você chegar Ligo pra teus amigos, tento te encontrar Mas eles me dizem que não vão te ver Preciso de um calmante ou vou enlouquecer Se você chegasse iria adormecer A noite já se foi, amanheceu cade vc? O tic tac do relógio Parece que já parou Ele não soube te esperar Mas ainda estou aqui Volta pra casa, vem me amar Que eu espero por você Só vou conseguir dormir
