He was just called the Town Clown.
There was no Mr. Fred on Captain Kangaroo.There were only three characters named Mr. anything:Mr. Baxter, played by actor James E. Wall - seen from 1974-1981.Mr. Green Jeans, played by actor Hugh Brannum - seen from 1955-1984.Mr. Moose, portrayed by puppeteer Cosmo Allegretti - seen from 1976-1981.This is not exactly true. There was a blobby cartoon guy on a screen that the Captain would talk to and his name was Fred.
He is a fictional character played by the now deceased actor ( for lack of a better name- Bob Keeshan).
Captain Tuttle's birth name is Jonathan S. Tuttle.

Robert Keeshan, from the start. He wanted an intelligent male role model ( actually two with the agrarian sidekick Mr. Green Jeans- two different actors) as he felt there were too many feminine types in the kidvid arena at the time- not entirely substantiated. Unfortunately Captain Kangaroo did use cartoons- and reguarily ran a number of them such as Tom Terrific- look up under that name. They did not dominate the program, but he did turn to them at times.
