Larry Grayson (31 August 1923 – 7 January 1995), born William Sulley White, was an English comedian and television presenter.
He hosted the BBC's Saturday-night peak-time TV game show The Generation Game in the late 1970s and early 1980s, employing his high-camp, English music hall humour.
His camp stand-up act consisted mainly of anecdotes about a cast of imaginary friends including Everard, Apricot Lil and Slack Alice.
