Do you know that I was the anchor on the 'CBS Morning Show?' And my newsman was Walter Cronkite.

You know, I'm almost out of the habit of watching episodic television now.

When I auditioned for 'Bye Bye Birdie' on Broadway, Gower Champion said, 'You've got the job!' I said, 'Mr. Champion, I can't dance.' He said, 'We'll teach you what you need to know.'

When I was a kid, I had ambitions for being a television announcer, which was before television took off, you know, in the late '40s.

No, no, it was the relationships. That was that group. People believed that Rob and Laura were really married in real life. You know, a lot of people believed that.

I was the class clown, you know, that kind of thing, and I gathered around me a group of guys who also were silly. I was in all the plays and everything. But I don't know, at that time show businesses looked like the moon, you know, it was so far away. I wanted to be a radio announcer.
