Eventually, Gumby and Pokey got their own series called The Adventures of Gumby, with which they earned their presence on American television. Actually, they became iconic and enjoyed a renewal of interest in the 1980s as American comedian and actor Eddie Murphy parodied Gumby in a skit on Saturday Night Live. A decade later, a movie called “Gumby: The Movie” came to light too, sparking even more interest.
