Art Linkletter

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Art Linkletter (born Arthur Gordon Kelley on July 17, 1912) was the host of two of the longest running shows in broadcast history: House Party which ran on CBS TV and Radio for 25 years, and People Are Funny which ran on NBC TV and Radio for 19 years. He was abandoned at an early age in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and adopted by the Linkletter family.

Art was famous for interviewing children and has been imitated many times in such shows as Kids Say the Darndest Things.
