He also was the reader for a couple of stories on Reading Rainbow. I think they were about a boy named Alistair....

Yup, I remember those; that's how I found out about who Arnold Stang was because I was like "OMG! He's the guy who does all those voices on Courage the Cowardly Dog!"

Me, I recognized him as Buzz, T.C. (Top Cat), and Queasy.

I Wanna say he was on the Cosby Show once with Sammy Davis Jr... and they were doing Shakespear... but I can't remember if it was him or someone else with an impossibly dorky voice....

I do remember that Bill Cosby and Arnold Stang starred together in Ghost Dad.

Was this the story about a boy inventing a time machine that took him to different times and he ended up bringing back a dinosaur home with him by mistake?
