TV icon Art Linkletter has died.

One of my favorites was he asked questions to school kids. One I remember was "What did your parents tell you before coming on the program?" One kid said: "Order the most expensive steak at dinner."

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Another link to my childhood gone. Sad.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

I don't think I've ever heard of Art Linkletter, but the fact that he and his wife have been married since 1935. Wow!

A friend who was a grade older than me in my two years at a Catholic school performed a speech for a competition called "Kindergarten" that was inspired by Art Linklater's Kids Say The Darnedest Things", which what my friend says at the end of the speech in playing the dual roles.

The rant speech is about a kindergarten student "hating" it.

I remember watching him when I was a kid. Very nice man.
I didn't realize that he was still around. 97 is a good run. RIP.

I loved watching House Party in the afternoon. He seemed like such a gentle man. RIP.

Gosh Art's been around forever it seems.

I remember watching him when I was little, he was such a fun, easygoing guy, he really could get kids to say the darndest things.

I also recall that his daughter died from a drug overdose and in the grieving process he recorded the song "Call Collect." Not something that would be aired today (heavy and maudlin), but obviously he wanted to send an anti-drug message and he did just that.

No disrespect to Mr. Linkletter but I thought he had already passed.

I hate to say it as well, but I thought he passed a while ago, too. I grew up watching Linkletter.

I remember feeling this way about Red Buttons. (Does anyone else feel like Red Buttons somehow makes the They Will Be Missed Montage at every Oscars?)
