Ladimir Kwiatkowski

Ladimir Kwiatkowski (July 13, 1928 – March 2, 1994), better known as Ladmo, was an American television personality who co-hosted The Wallace and Ladmo Show, a daily children's variety show broadcast on KPHO in Phoenix, Arizona.

[2] While at ASU, Kwiatkowski met and married his wife Patsy Lou Killough (March 31, 1951).

The day after Kwiatkowski's graduation, in 1955, he went to the KPHO-TV studios and met with the general manager, Dick Rawls (the future inspiration for the character Mr. Grudgemeyer) and they hit it off.

One hour after returning home, Lad received a call to start work the next day.

Its final taping was on December 29, 1989, after a 36-year run, becoming one of the longest-running daily children's television shows in American broadcasting.
