During the original 1995 run of Cartoon Planet ( When it aired on both TBS and Cartoon Network) back when the show existed to host cartoons from the Turner library and was an hour long, it included bumpers to bookend the commercial breaks. The bumpers themselves were recorded live. Some featured Andy Merrill in character as Brak, some featured announcer Don Kennedy and some would feature associate producer Jefferson Clay, who would often open them by saying, "This is Jefferson, reporting live from Cartoon Planet...".

Eventually all of the host segments of Cartoon Planet were edited and compiled into half hour version that omitted the cartoons and replaced the live bumpers with pre-recorded ones. (The same ones were played over and over) The original live bumpers have been lost to time. No recorded copies have surfaced on YouTube, or anywhere else online and most recordings of Cartoon Planet episodes that do exist are of the later compilation versions.
