But there was more to come! <\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Kids Say The Darnedest Things&#8221; segment of House Party was the most famous of all, and Linkletter interviewed an estimated 23,000 children. The popularity of the segment led to a TV series with the same title hosted by Bill Cosby on CBS from January 1998 to June 2000.<\/p>\n<p>The video below has a GREAT surprise ending, so please take a look at Bill Cosby&#8217;s tribute to Art.
