Jack and Jill, Archie Campbell

Archie Campbell
Campbell studied art at Mars Hill College in Mars Hill, North Carolina, after which he began a radio career at WNOX in Knoxville. After a year alongside Roy Acuff on their Mid-Day Merry-Go-Round, he relocated to WDOD in Chattanooga, where he stayed until joining the United States Navy in 1941. At the end of World War II, Campbell returned to WNOX.
In 1969 Campbell joined Hee Haw on CBS-TV as a chief writer and on-air talent. His regular characterizations included the Barber, in which he performed his Spoonerism stories and his "That's Bad/That's Good" routines; the Doctor as "Doctor Campbell" with Gunilla Hutton as "Nurse Goodbody"; and, "Justus O'Peace," his version of the classic "Judge" routine of Pigmeat Markham. One of his most well-known segments was the "Where Oh Where" song ("PFFT! You Was Gone") in which he would perform a short verse of original comedy followed by the standard "Where oh where are you tonight" chorus which would conclude with him and a singing partner, often Gordie Tapp, blowing a raspberry at one another or at the camera.
During his Hee Haw years Campbell also recorded several comedy-music albums such as Bull Session at Bull's Creek with Junior Samples and Archie Campbell (Elektra 1976). He frequently performed duets with singer Lorene Mann.
In 1984, Campbell hosted TNN's Yesteryear interview show. Campbell was an accomplished amateur golfer and built one of the earliest lighted golf courses in the United States. An avid painter, he also owned an art gallery and served on the school board in Knoxville, where he lived until he suffered a fatal heart attack in 1987. He is buried near the town of Powell, Tennessee.
