In 1986, McDonald's added a new mascot to promote dinner, Mac Tonight. Reception to this moon-faced piano player has been mixed over the years. Let's take a look the history of golden-voiced mascot.
I reme.ber thinking this promotion had some relationship to the "mac" in "mac and me". I think the movie did have a McDonald's tie-in but I thought they were the same character. I imagined the child hiding giant moon face guy in his bedroom like E.T. (Never saw the film. I do not regret this.)
Please forward this to Seth Meyers; he has a recurring joke in Corrections where people send him Mac Tonight art and merchandise.
I remember hearing him sing Mac the Knife and thought it was the coolest song
