Farewell, Art Linkletter
Your granpappy's favorite TV host Art Linkletter rode his Crafmatic all the way to heaven today at the age of 97. Art's son-in-law, also named Art, told The Los Angeles Times that he died at his home in Bel Air, California.
Art was the host of the radio (remember that?) and TV show House Party for 25 years. House Party featured a famous segment called "Kids Say the Darndest Things," which later became a full series starring Billy Cosby. If they did that show again today, all the kids would probably tell the host to fuck off or to get them a beer.
Art is survived by his wife of 75 years Lois.
Art is somewhere up in heaven now probably slapping Divine for his role in The Diane Linkletter Story.

I remember seeing some clips of "Kids Say the Darndest Things," and it was really funny.

Art Linkletter is one of the TV hosts I admire a lot. He got his start hosting radio shows but he became most famous through hosting some popular TV shows. He's life was not easy like other kids have. As a new baby, he was abandoned by his parents, only to wind up being adopted by a family who moved him to Southern California. He evidently has some siblings he never had a relationship with, and never did with his biological parents either. He made it to the age of 97, and although he lived a long healthy life, he outlived 3 of his five kids.

Sorry, but I thought Art had died YEARS ago.
R.I.P.
Loved watching "Kids Say The Darndest Things" with my Nanny back in the late 60s.
MK you got it kind of twisted the latter 1980s version with Bill Cosby was a resounding flop and gone after a few episodes.
I LOVE the Diane Linkletter Story, God, NOBODY was irreverent like John Waters was in his early films.
Diane L, The Mansons Family Murders,, Richard Speck, Kent State, John managed to make them all funny.
I want to see that Hollywood Illuminati list, be interesting for sure, going to google that now.
I had also heard that Art was a major fanny and ardent Reagan/ Nixon supporter.. eww..
DListed, the ONLY news you'll ever need.
How many couples get to say they celebrated a double diamond anniversary? Good on them!
So sad, RIP, dear man.
rest in peace....97 is long time on earth and 75 years to the same woman...that's a miracle in this day and age...

I'm with you mike @5:36pm and I recall seeing Art's name on a big old hollywood illuminati list (who isn't?) and remember the weirdness surrounding the event although too young to know why. I am loving the John Waters link and checked out the 10 minute film on you tube. R.I.P. Divine and Diane.
I am 53 and if Grandma were alive, she would be 115 years old...we used to watch Art Linkletter together before I was school age! That is how long that man was around. And a 75-year marriage? Amazing...I think I am a hotshot for making it to 30 this year.
RIP Mr. Linkletter
It's "Kids Say the DARNDEST Things", they would never have said damndest on 50's television!
Also, (showing my age) beside "House Party" during the day, he had a nighttime show called "People Are Funny".
Let's pour a glass of Geritol out for my man Art...
Werther's Original anyone? *pulling tiger pants up to second set of nipples*...You know, when I was your age....What? What? Where are you going? I have a Bundt Cake in the oven...
No good whippersnappers... won't listen to no good old fashioned common sense talk....And they better not be on my lawn...trampling my Day lilies....HEY, HEY! YOU DLISTED HOOLIGANS BETTER GET OFF MY LAWN...Why, I ougta turn the hose on them Nogoodems....I'LL CALL THE COPPERS ON YA, I WILL!

loozer, you are not right.

Rest in peace and HOTT DAMN at the 75 year marriage. And here I was thinking my parents marriage of 30+ years was some serious shit. Kudos, Mr. Linkletter.
I thought he died back in the 70's. Had no idea he was still around. wow. wayy under the radar.
97!! holy shit. I wouldn't mind living that long if I could hold on to my marbles and my girlish figure tee hee RIP Mr. L.
I've watched Disneyland's opening day waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many times... R.I.P.

Out of the ash I rise with my red hair. And I eat men like air.
He always seemed like a classy guy. How do you loose your partner of 75 years? I remember seeing some clips of "Kids Say the Darndest Things," and it was really funny. The thing I liked about it was the way he used to crack up when the kids said something funny.
Be well my friend.
My mother liked him until he became an anti-drug crusader after his daughter's death; she felt he should have kept quiet about family matters. (She also hated Betty Ford for revealing she had breast cancer.)

RIP, kind sir. You were one of the last of a Great Generation.

RIP. Kudos for the 75 year old marriage.
Just when I thought he was dead, then alive, now dead. RIP Art!!
75 years married, ummn, wonder how many marital relations that would be on average. Hot damn
Married....for 75 years.....we will never see that in our generation or future generations....
That alone deserves some kind of an award.
Cheers Art.

He was well-known to be the biggest jerk in show business.
Didn't he blame his daughter's death on drugs even though he knew she'd been clean for months, thereby insinuating himself into the nascent anti-drug campaign?
A nice long life, there Art.

Eh, 97's a damn good run.
