If you’re of a certain age, Art Linkletter was probably a big part of your life.
He hosted a daytime TV program, “House Party,” for 26 years, and “People Are Funny” for 19. A popular feature of House Party was “Kids Sayu the Darndest Things.”
After his retirement from broadcasting, Art Linkletter became a vocal advocate for older Americans.
I met and interviewed him in 1988, when he was promoting his book “ld Age is Not For Sissies.”
