Speaking of walking dead, the penultimate paragraph of the article notes
Former Hutton executive Frank Campanale tried reviving the firm three years ago but ditched the effort for a job with the established asset manager Lebenthal and Co.
It's curious that Lebenthal is described as an established company, since it was sold to Merrill Lynch in 2005, and the name was promptly killed off.
Thanks for this amusing composite video. Couldn't help think of the exploding manhole covers in NYC that David Letterman often features. These people don't have my ear the way John Houseman did.
Comments
The current incarnation of Lebenthal and Co. is a new company, founded by Alexandra & James (Lebenthal), who originally named the company just that.

Perhaps not quite so familiar as EF Hutton, Lebenthal's commercials were just as ubiquitous in NYC.
It's not how much you earn, it's how much you keep.
