The Phoenix City Council has approved the ceremonial renaming of part of First Avenue in downtown Phoenix to “Wallace and Ladmo Way” in tribute to the long-running children’s show “The Wallace and Ladmo Show.” The show, which aired from 1954 to 1989, became a beloved part of Arizona culture, with Arizona media personality Pat McMahon playing various roles on the program. The show was known for its comedic sketches, giveaways like the famous “Ladmo bags,” and segments like “Cookin’ with Rita.”
McMahon and other cast members recently gathered at Phoenix City Hall to celebrate the renaming of the street. McMahon described the show as a “Saturday Night Live” for kids, providing entertainment that resonated with viewers of all ages. Rita Davenport, who hosted the cooking segment on the show, expressed gratitude for the recognition and highlighted the importance of local broadcasting in building community connections. The renaming of the street serves as a special tribute to the show’s enduring impact and legacy in Phoenix.
