It looks like him, but no. According to the text on the YouTube site, "The narrator and writer is Bud Haggert. He was the top voice-over talent on technical films. He wrote the script because he rarely understood the technical copy he was asked to read and felt he shouldn't be alone. " Apparently, he used this opportunity to develop an audio prompter called "The Ear", which is now standard equipment for every newscaster on the air.Is that a really young Carl Reiner?

The narrator of the video was not the originator of the turboencabulator. He may have written the specific script, but the joke predates that video by more than 30 years. The turboencabulator joke goes all the way back to 1944, when the first description of it was published. The script used for the video is a modified/adapted version of that original description. GE released a Turboencabulator data sheet in 1962, using some of the original description, and adding many of their own jokes. You can follow along between the video and portions of the GE data sheet. GE actually published the data sheet in one of their catalogs. JPG versions are available from Wikipedia, where you can get more details and the whole story.I don't think we've done this one yet:
