Harry Stewart

Harry Stewart

Harry Stewart (October 21, 1908-May 20, 1956) was an American comedian and musician, who often performed in the persona of Yogi Yorgesson, a comically-exaggerated Swede. Stewart was born in Tacoma, Washington to parents Hans and Elise Skarbo who had immigrated to the U.S. from Norway. After his mother's death, he was adopted by the Stewart family.

A few Yogi Yorgesson recordings (such as "I Yust Go Nuts At Christmas" and "Yingle Bells") have become longstanding Christmas favorites on the Dr. Demento show. Stewart was also known for his recordings as Harry Kari, a Japanese character done in a similar comedic style.
