他的儿子克里斯托弗安德森说，这位音乐家和演员星期天在霍桑死于前列腺癌的并发症.
安德森在克拉拉尔长期静音，在1960年的最后一集中打破了小丑的沉默。他的嘴唇颤抖，眼睛里有明显的泪水，他说出了节目的最后一句话：“再见，孩子们。”
史密斯在他的回忆录中说，尽管安德森并不是唯一一个扮演“布法罗鲍勃”史密斯的沉默搭档的人，但他是最好的。.
随着花生画廊的展望，安德森用自行车喇叭给出了答案。为了更具表现力的时刻，他挥动了一瓶苏打水.
该节目于1947年推出，当时电视仍然是新奇的，是第一个网络平日儿童节目。安德森加入了“Doodyville”，一个充满木偶和人类演员的马戏团小镇，在1950年代中期由一个花生画廊观看。.
虽然作为克拉巴尔的名声一直伴随着他，安德森作为一名音乐家和乐队领队也取得了成功。近年来，他的全美大乐队于周五晚上出现在纽约的Birdland爵士乐俱乐部.
安德森于1922年出生于爱荷华州的柯克曼。他在第二次世界大战期间在海军服役时创办了一支乐队，随后在登陆纽约之前带着乐队巡回中西部.
就在他加入Honey Dreamers，一个出现在电台和早期电视节目中的歌唱团，他遇到史密斯并成为一个小丑
“克拉拉尔刚落入他的膝盖，”他的继女洛丽乔治说.
安德森跟随后来扮演Doodyville的J. Cornelius Cobb的Bobby Nicholson担任角色。第一个扮演静音小丑的人是Bob Keeshan，后来后来被称为袋鼠队长.
居住在南塞勒姆的安德森幸存下来的是他的妻子佩吉，两个儿子，他的继女和五个孙子孙女。.
Rest in peace, Lew Anderson. He attracted the baby boomer generation with his portrayal of Clarabell the Clown on the Howdy Doody Show. His son, Christopher Anderson, announced that he passed away on Sunday at the age of 84 due to complications from prostate cancer. Anderson broke Clarabells silence in the final episode of the show in 1960. He delivered the last line, “Goodbye, kids,” with trembling lips and tears in his eyes. Although Anderson was not the only one to play Buffalo Bob Smiths silent partner, he was the best, according to Smiths memoir. Anderson used a bicycle horn to answer questions in the Peanut Gallery and even waved a bottle of soda for more expressive moments. The show premiered in 1947 and was the first weekday childrens program on network television. Anderson joined “Doodyville,” a circus town filled with puppets and human actors, in the mid-1950s, watched by a Peanut Gallery. Despite his fame as Clarabell, Anderson also found success as a musician and band leader. In recent years, his All-American Big Band appeared on Friday nights at Birdland Jazz Club in New York. Anderson was born in Kirkman, Iowa in 1922. He founded a band while serving in the Navy during World War II and toured the Midwest with them before landing in New York. He met Smith while joining the Honey Dreamers, a singing group that appeared on radio and early television shows. Anderson followed Bobby Nicholson, played by J. Cornelius Cobb, who later portrayed Doodyville. The first person to play the silent clown was Bob Keeshan, later known as Captain Kangaroo. Anderson is survived by his wife, Peggy, two sons, his stepdaughter, and five grandchildren.
