Mallory Lewis — performer, children’s book author and daughter of Shari Lewis — grew
up with the iconic ventriloquist’s signature sidekick Lamb Chop — “she’s my sister” —
and became a writer and producer who worked closely with her mother on TV specials
and children’s shows (“Lamb Chop’s Play-Along,” “The Charlie Horse Music Pizza”)
Since Shari Lewis’ death in 1998, Mallory has kept her mother’s legacy alive…
The Dallas Morning News
Dallas holds good memories — and lots of family — for Mallory Lewis, who will be performing A Lamb Chop Celebration! at the Wyly Theatre on Dec. 15.

Her career started in 1948 when she appeared in a local NBC show in New York and pulled a rabbit out of a hat (her father had taught her the trick only the day before). Her last PBS series before ”The Charlie Horse Music Pizza” was ”Lamb Chop’s Play-Along,” which ran from 1989 to 1995. The show won five Emmys …
The Positive Mom
Be Nice, Have FUN! is Mallory Lewis’ motto. She lives by it as a single mom to her teen son and as a successful mompreneur. I had the opportunity to talk to Mallory Lewis on the phone and I was so excited when she called me that I obviously tweeted about it.
