God Bless him...he rocked IMO.

Quote:

He told The New York Times that he took pride in never asking boring questions, such as "How did you prepare for the role?" or "Do you have any hobbies?" And cocktails, he admitted, were sometimes employed to get guests like Bette Davis to loosen her lips. "If we knew they were stiffs, we'd get 'em a little stiff," he said.

When I was a wee lil pup, I always made sure to watch his talk show. I still miss his show and would put him right up there with Johnny Carson for all time greats when it came to the talk show format.
