This man of many voices got his start at Pitt’s WPTS

When Bugs Bunny walked into the William Pitt Union recently, there were no apparent PhDs around for him to ask the enduring question: "What's up, doc?"

That didn't stop him from going down his own University of Pittsburgh rabbit hole.

You see (or hear), Jeff Bergman isn't just Bugs Bunny. Bergman (A&S '83) is a man of many animation voices whose career was launched four decades ago in this very student union, at WPTS-AM radio.

Bergman switches from one animated identity to another the way other people flip a light switch.

"Many of you may know me as…

"Bugs Bunny, fwom Space Jam! That's wight, doc. Hee hee hee hee hee.

"I say, I say, pay attention," booms the baritone of Foghorn Leghorn. "I say, nice boy, but about as sharp as a bag of wet mice.

"Hey, what about me? I'm Daffy Duck, I'm the star of the show. Woohoo woohoo woohoo.

"Or some of you may know me as the original voice of Gus the Groundhog from the Pennsylvania lottery, the second-most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania.

"Or the voice of Yogi Beaaar.

"Annnnnnnd Freeeed Fliiinstooone. Yyyyyyyyyyyyyabba dabba doooooo!"
