Ernie Anderson, born in Lynn, Massachusetts on November 12, 1923, was a television and radio personality, voice announcer, actor and the father of film director Paul Thomas Anderson.

Anderson became known as a television personality on a local Cleveland, Ohio TV show on Ernie's Place, where he collaborated with Tim Conway.

As the hipster character Ghoulardi, Anderson later hosted Shock Theater at WJW-TV, Channel 8, in Cleveland, from 1963 through 1966. Shock Theater featured grade-“B” science fiction and horror movies. Shock Theater was aired in a Friday late-night time slot, but at the peak of Ghoulardi's popularity, Anderson also hosted the Saturday afternoon Masterpiece Theater, and the weekday children's program Laurel, Ghoulardi and Hardy.

In 1966, Anderson left Cleveland, and moved to Los Angeles, California, where he was heard throughout the United States as the voice of the American Broadcasting Company.

Anderson died of cancer in Los Angeles on February 6, 1997 at the age of 73. His son dedicted his film of that year, Boogie Nights, to his memory in the closing credits.
