From the 50’s to 1970 Art Linkletter hosted two daytime television programs called “Art Linkletter’s House Party” and “People Are Funny”. He ended his program everyday by interviewing kids. I have fond memories of watching his shows.
Mr. Linkletter turns 96 today. Happy birthday Art.
An interview with Art from earlier this year from the Archive of American Television
Wow, he’ still alive?????????????
Damn i remember him when I was a little kid
Amazing.
I’m over 50 and I can remember watching his show when I was a kid.
Good for him, hope he’s happy and doing OK.
lol.. he cracked me up a few times… one kid’s dad was in the military, and he said he slept with his mom so she wouldn’t miss his dad so much, then Art asked do you sleep with her every night??? the kid replied, No, not on Thursdays… Art asked why not on Thursdays…??? kid said that’s when his Uncle Jim slept with her…lol
