I know it's television, but there was a level of grace and respect back then that has been lost with most of our current generations.

[@acousticshadow4032]

Don't get me started...

[@4octaverealredhead]

Now there's so much garbage that most of the time I don't even watch tv. I love law & order -all of the spin offs, criminal minds, 60.minutes. I'm nauseous just being reminded of these Uber rich celebrities with their Reality shows. Especially when they claim to be CHRISTIANS - yet don't live like Jesus would. So many poor ppl homeless yet they buy mega mansions, designer clothes, etc. Would Jesus be proud of them? I think not!

Seeing Walter Cronkite and John Daly reminisce about their WWII working together. So comforting. And now we will have our journalists abroad reporting Ukraine tragedies and hopefully great triumphs to recall Art Carney is so precious and funny without being corny, or silly. And his FDR was phenomenal. Thanks!

Allen did a lot later in his life to encourage people to get screened for colon cancer, which even back then was highly treatable. I will never forget his radio spots: "Get tested. Because colon cancer is no fun, but dying ... That'll _really_ make you mad!"

guyfihi Ed Norton goes does in comic character history. Whenever I see Art Carney all I can think of is, "Hellooooooo ball!" Back in the videocassette days I OWNED all of the original 39 episodes of the Honeymooners. I'm such a "mooners" nerd that I know most of the dialogue by heart. "I call you killer because you slay me." And "I'm calling Bellvue because you're nuts!" Never stops being funny a half century later.

[@WhatsMyLine]

Gina Greenlee And were you a loyal member of R.A.L.P.H.? Eh???

[@GinaGreenlee]

What's My Line? You bet I was! Went to the first and perhaps only R.A.L.P.H conference at CW Post University on Long Island in 1984. The experience of 2,000 "mooners" in an auditorium simultaneously guffawing throughout one of the "lost episodes" remains high on my list of memorable life experiences.

It looked like the voice that Art used took John by total surprise. And that was with John having worked regularly with Art at one time and knowing Art's ability to impersonate and use various voices.

[@preppysocks209]

Carney used the same voice on an earlier appearance (and I think did the same FDR impression, word for word). There is a tremendous clip available on youtube from an Art Carney special from 1959 in which there is a spook of a WML episode, with Carney in the Daly role. The conferences are especially funny.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Dare I say as a Dottie K fan, this is perhaps the most enjoyable post-DK offering! Art Carney is a treasure but at this point, even with his success in The Odd Couple (1965) on Broadway, his drinking got worse and worse reportedly due to the fact that Walter Mathau was intolerable. So it was "the Great One" to the rescue and brought Art to Miami Beach with the color edition of the Jackie Gleason Show! Also, I recommend The Morey Amsterdam Show with Art as his sidekick. There are several episodes on youtube.

@@thanksforanotherbadhaircut1211 I was working at the now defunct Eastern Airlines at JFK in New York. It was a Saturday morning and he and Mrs Cronkite were flying to New Orleans. I said to him “I guess Roger Mudd will be doing the news Monday” and he replied “Oh no, I’ll be back by then”. I later went on the plane and he was sitting with his wife looking at a boating magazine. He loved boating. I went to him and said “Mr Cronkite, my name is also Walter and I’m a big fan. Do you think I can trouble you for an autograph?”. He took out his pen and signed for me. I thanked him and he said, “you betcha”. That was my experience with him. I compared him to the pompous West Palm Beach flight passengers who were famous for being rude and here we had a truly imminent person being so down to earth and accommodating.

That is his reputation, often deserved. But his commentary after Tet showed bias.

[@shirtless6934]

@@preppysocks209 Walter Cronkite was a defeatist who helped the North Vietnamese military defeat at Tet into a political victory. The North was essentially finished after Tet. The best evidence of that is that it took them seven more years before they could overrun the South, and that was two years after the United States had left. But Walter, who was the male version of Hanoi Jane Fonda, went to Vietnam, and he was completely duped, and he turned the tide in favor of the Communists. it is a good thing that Walter was not reporting on the Battle of the Bulge during the Second World War. "Oh, my, Hitler is stronger than we thought. We need to retreat to London and negotiate for peace."

As a preteen and teen, I remember watching some of Walter Cronkite's newscasts on our B&W, RCA 21" console television, with the "rabbit ears" antenna, and I saw him as a kind, affirmative and stately sort of person. It truly felt like he was sitting with you in your living room when doing his various newscasts. The other two famous newscasters that I also watch on TV from time-to-time, in that era, were Chet Huntley and David Brinkley. And I remember their "sign off" to each other at the end of their joint newscasts, which was "Good night, David." and in return, "Good night, Chet." They were in separate cities when doing their newscasts as a team, which was an interesting arrangement, but it worked fine. ~ And about Art Carney: He received tremendous applause and recognition from the audience when "Signing in," and all of it was well-deserved! He had an incredible ability to immerse himself into all kinds of characters, for both television and movie roles; and along with that was his seeming humility, grace, kindness and good-natured personality.

This was another of those challenging moments for John (and an unseen Gil Fates). When the panel guessed Art Carney, there was just barely time for a quick additional round with the spare contestant that they always had available in case that was needed. Should we move on quickly to get another round in, or stretch out the MG segment chatting with the Carney? Given the multitalented Art, they wisely chose to stretch it out and let him do some of his famous clowning. With some other MGs they would have moved on to another spot.

Wow! Mrs Douglas!!! She and Kirk lived for 101 years each! And remained married for I believe 70 and were just in love as when they met.
