Captain 20 was a fictional character, an astronaut (and later an alien) who hosted Washington, D.C.'s WDCA (Channel 20) afternoon children's television block of cartoons and live action shorts like Ultraman, until TVX Broadcast Group (which later became Paramount Stations Group, now CBS Corporation) bought WDCA Channel 20. Captain 20 was portrayed by Dick Dyszel from 1972-1980 and 1981–1987, who also played monster movie host Count Gore De Vol, Bozo the Clown, and served as the station's announcer. Captain 20 was also portrayed by John Kallimanis (1969-1970), Toni Alexi (1970-1972), and Jeff Delion (1980-1981).
