Chip and Pepper facts for kids

Chip and Pepper Foster are identical twin businessmen from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. They used to be co-owners of Chip & Pepper California and former hosts of their own NBC series, Chip and Pepper's Cartoon Madness and owners of KUB Bread in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Chip and Pepper's Cartoon Madness

At a peak in their popularity, the Foster brothers appeared on a Canadian TV station singing "Chip and Pepper: get hip or get out!" The footage came into the hands of NBC's head of entertainment, Brandon Tartikoff, who decided to give them a Saturday morning cartoon show. In fall 1991, Chip and Pepper's Cartoon Madness debuted. The new edition to NBC's animated line-up included sketches and interviews, but old cartoons such as Casper and Captain Caveman took up most of the airtime. The show lasted one season before NBC dropped its animated block altogether in 1992.
