Jay Johnson (born July 11, 1949, in Lubbock, Texas, and grew up in Richardson, Texas) is a ventriloquist and actor, best known for his role on the television show Soap as Chuck Campbell, a ventriloquist who believed his puppet Bob was real and demanded everyone treat Bob as human.
Chuck never went anywhere (even on dates) without his puppet Bob, who basically said all the things that Chuck was too polite (or repressed) to say.
