Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan) and Mr. Rogers (Fred Rogers) were both authors in addition to being children's show hosts.. Both worked for NBC at some point in their careers.. They have several other things in common as well...
No they were not both in the military Fred Rogers never served in any branch of the military... Bob Keeshan was in the military during WWII he never saw action...

Weren't they both ex-marines?
I know the reason Fred Rogers had to keep the long sleeves on was to cover up all of the USMC tatoos that he had. I am not sure about Captain Kangaroo, though.

Fred Rogers was once now not a Navy SEAL, Lee Marvin was once a USMC fight vet. and Bob Keeshan was once a Marine, however noticed no fight. So rather than being Entertainment personalities, not anything.

Both were kind men. Captain Kangaroo was so reassuring, funny and educational when I was a tot.
I've seen the myths debunked about the sniper bit, though both men served in the military.

Captain Kangaroo was a perv right? (could have been just an ugly rumor)
Mr. Rogers was colorblind.
Idk, what they had in common.
