Tonight in 1954 — #ArtCarney appeared on WHAT’S MY LINE — in his HONEYMOONERS costume!
#BennettCerf guessed “Al Carney” (but they still gave it to him).
Highlight: Art takes out his gum on live TV.

Alas, poor younguns, who never knew a trailblazing #journalist #publisher (#randomhouse) #firstamendment defending #writer like #BennettCerf could star on TV game shows (#password #whatsmyline #thematchgame #totellthetruth). You ask, Who's Bennet Cerf? Well, he fought to publish #JamesJoyce #Ulysses. I'm also sorry younguns may never read Joyce, but that's a whole nother toot. #bannedbooks http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/digital/collections/nny/cerfb/transcripts/cerfb_1_6_262.html
