There was a radio show a few years ago that had company room rejects and the host would look through his mirror and call out odd names of listeners she never would have used.3y6l
This is really a first wave Gen X post I'm copying here but since so many Xennials actually do seem to still know Romper Room (and since a lot of these did extend through Xennial times):

Iāve heard the name āRomper Roomā before, but I have no memory of it. Was it not a thing in the Seattle market?

It was really more of a Jones/X show. I'm surprised so many Xennials here are familiar with it. I guess it had extended re-runs in some parts.

It used to come on on Saturday mornings at 6:30, before the NBC cartoon lineup started.

It was a show which was syndicated in the early 80s, in NY it aired on WWOR Channel 9.
