Lee Of The Day

Lee of the Day: A History

This was inspired by the classic Alvin and the Chipmunks episode where the gang disguises themselves as Kabuki dancers to escape some kind of danger.
By the way, I have know reason for remembering something like this.

This was the first Lee created from my current Boston office.
We’ll call this the ”Quality Skin Tone” period for the Lees.
And yes, that is exactly the way an elbow bends.

So get this: Lee himself doesn’t show up to work the day after Thanksgiving for just about the first time anyone can recall.
We didn’t know if he thought we were closed or what.
I started telling people that he stayed home to watch a Who’s the Boss Marathon because he has a Danny Pintauro like crush on Danza and this Lee proved it.
People liked this one so much that it couldn’t be topped and there were no more Lees for over two months…

Here is where I stopped getting suggestions and had to think for myself.
Good thing too, this was a very popular Lee for its time.
Pay attention because that same kid makes some appearances in later Lees…

This Lee didn’t reach its full potential.
It embarrasses me.
He doesn’t even have short sleeves.

This Lee was created as the result of two different suggestions.
Alone, Sumo Lee or Santa Lee are not as great as their potential when combined.

This combined potential idea was used later in the ‘Mismatched Occupations Series’ of Season 2

I never said that the Lees had to clearly match the suggestions….

Now we are talking!
This Lee was suggested by Chelsea Shriver, and was possibly the greatest to date, but was she happy?
No.
She pointed out that her suggestion stated, ‘Rocky and Bullwinkle Lee’, so therefore it was only half as good as possible.
Thus the next Lee.

He’s got greasy hands and a mullet.
I guess that makes Uncle Jesse a redneck too.

This was the first Lee sent out under the title of ”Lee of the Day”.
The premise was that when you get the Lee, to make a suggestion for tomorrow and one of the many suggestions would become the Lee of tomorrow.
This worked out for about 6 days and then the suggestions stopped coming in.
Did I take this as a sign that the people wanted the Lees to cease from production?
Nope.
