As with People Are Funny, Art Linkletter transitioned his House Party to television, where it was at the center of CBS' afternoon block for 15 years before moving to mornings----and a name change to The Linkletter Show----to finish its run, which ended in September 1969.
Linkletter was working with producer John Guedel (You Bet Your Life) on both radio & television, and struck a gold mine with talk show segments with kids. This would spin off Kids Say The Darndest Things years later.
This 1958 offering was recorded in San Diego at a military base.
During the 70's & 80's, Linkletter began doing commercials touting life insurance, to keep himself in the public eye until his passing in 2010.
No rating. Just a public service.
