1. His characters worked even better on screen than on radio; television also provoked him to create his second best-remembered character, Freddy the Freeloader.One of his best-known routines was "The Pledge of Allegiance," in which he explained the pledge word by word. Another routine, a pantomime of the crowd at a small-town parade as the American flag passes by.( I miss those days)
2.Another crazy redhead...this time, a woman.
3. He had the first live American appearance of The Beatles, on February 9, 1964, the most-watched program in TV history to that point, and remains one of the most-watched TV programs of all time.
4.The founding host of NBC's Today Show from 1952 to 1961.
5. He virtually created the late-night talk show format as the host of THE TONIGHT SHOW, one of televisions longest running programs.He also introduced the Beatles to America,via a film clip!!
