RIP, Louis Nye

"The Beverly Hillbillies" remains a favorite classic.

Comedian Louis Nye, who created a national catchphrase by belting out "Hi-ho, Steverino!" as one of the players on Steve Allen's groundbreaking 1950s TV show, has
died. He was 92.
... Nye appeared as Sonny Drysdale, the prissy son of harried banker Milburn Drysdale, in the debut 1962-63 season of "The Beverly Hillbillies." He once said his character was dropped after one season because a CBS executive thought he was "too sissified." Nye returned as Sonny for the 1993 TV movie "The Legend of the Beverly Hillbillies."
