In September 2025, I unearthed a comic juggler called Bob Winters, often referred to as Bobby, who appears to be chewing gum throughout his act. We see Bobby juggle three balls including bounce juggling, three clubs, three tambourines and ending with a gag using a balloon. The following footage is taken from four television shows he appeared on, broadcast somewhere between 1949 and 1967

Here's a Wiki page for Bob Winters:

You'll notice that he appeared in a few more TV shows (I can't find them) and a couple of movies, including the 1967 film of Doctor Doolittle starring Rex Harrison. Sadly, due to copyright, I can't find this film free to watch online.
I did find this video of Bobby, juggling in the Premiere Show of the 1952 US, TV series, The Buick Circus Hour, which is not listed on his Wiki page. Here's just under 30 seconds of Bobby juggling with three tambourines plus he also spins one on another several times.

Just over a year after I made these discoveries and shared them with the online juggling community, this article was published in e-Juggle by David Cain, who kindly acknowledged my finds. He's also done some further research on Bobby and discovered that his father, Raymond Pike was also a juggler. You can read this article and view a third, short video of Bobby juggling here:
