Paul Tripp (February 20, 1911 - August 29, 2002) was a musician, author and television and film actor born in New York City. He was a partner of fellow composer George Kleinsinger. Tripp was the creator of 1945's "Tubby the Tuba", a children's song that has become his best-known work. Early in his career, he was the host of CBS' Mr. I-Magination, which aired from 1949 to 1952. Tripp later hosted WNBC's Birthday House, a live (later taped) daily morning children's show that aired in New York for four years starting in 1963. A book of his, The Christmas That Almost Wasn't, was produced as a movie in Rome in 1966, for which Tripp provided the screenplay and played a lead role.
