THAT mysterious dancing old guy from the Six Flags theme park commercials turned up yesterday in Times Square – and got down with the hosts of “Good Morning America” for what appears to be his first-ever televised interview.
Well, sort of.
Diane Sawyer managed to ask Mr. Six, as he’s been called, if he’s the one who made up his infectious dance that’s been sweeping the nation since the ads debuted last spring.
Six, who doesn’t speak, shook his head “yes” just before the limber-limbed octogenarian danced behind Sawyer and made her nearly jump out of the studio with a quick pat to her rump.
Mr. Six is the focal point of the theme-park company’s new $100 million ad campaign, but no one will say if he’s really an old guy, or just some talented young dancer in a bald wig and lots of makeup.
