Picture
The announcer for the Globetrotters game in "The Mystery of Haunted Island" (from The New Scooby-Doo Movies) is not just a one-off character created for that episode. He appears in other episodes of the Harlem Globetrotters cartoon from the 1970s. In addition, the Laff-a-Lympics narrator's voice sounds exactly the same as the announcer in this episode, perhaps prompting an in-universe question of if it's the same announcer.

This is an awesome find: a rare instance of inter-continuity is cartoons!

Thanks! I was doing a rewatch of The New Scooby-Doo Movies recently, and I was surprised to notice this!

You mean Don Messick?

Yeah, I knew both were Don; I just thought it was interesting how both characters' voices sound exactly the same and Don didn't differentiate them at all, despite his wide range of vocal abilities as we know from him voicing Scooby and Scrappy. I'm sure it wasn't intentional on Don's part, I just thought it prompted a cool in-universe question about if the announcer and the narrator are the same character in canon, since they have exactly the same voice.

I'll have to watch out for that, but if you recall you was the announcer of the Laff-a-Lympics, as well. And was the narrator for Ruff and Reddy, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, etc.

I didn't realize it was the same narrator for Ruff and Reddy, Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear. That's really interesting!

Nice! Thanks for sharing! It's cool that all of these animators are sharing Velma concept art.

That's also the voice Don uses when commentating on the sporting events in the 1975 Tom and Jerry Show.
