D.B.'s Delight featured two regular co-hosts- a live performer (successively, St. Louis media celebrities Julius Hunter, "Young" Bobby Day and later Guy Phillips) and a puppet character called "D.B. Doorbell" (performed, at various times, by puppeteers Dale Thompson, Doug Kincaid, and Bobby Miller).
Original puppeteer Dale Thompson built the first "D.B. Doorbell" puppet character in 1976; this was replaced in 1981 by a "Kincaid Karacter" puppet designed and built by St. Louis puppeteers William Kincaid and Doug Kincaid, when Doug Kincaid assumed the role of lead puppeteer that same year.
