As a baby boomer, I remember “Art Linkletter’s House Party” and “People Are Funny” shows during the ‘50s and ‘60s. He is best remembered for his straight delivery to children who said the “darndest things.” His warmth and personal style made him one of the most popular figures on television.
During his lifetime, Ray Geiger appeared on the House Party three times. In total, he made over 30,000 appearances and interviews on behalf of America’s favorite almanac.
Above is a photo from a 1963 interview. Art, thanks for bringing so much joy into the hearts of generations of Americans and for reminding us that people really are funny.
