September 1, 1952…Art Linkletter Comes To TV + Surprise Video
“Art Linkletter’s House Party” premiered on CBS television on September 1, 1952, and had become television’s longest-running daytime variety show by the time it completed its 15 year run on September 5, 1969. But there was more to come!
The “Kids Say The Darnedest Things” 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.
The video below has a GREAT surprise ending, so please take a look at Bill Cosby’s tribute to Art. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee
