John Dunning Quote
House Party dabbled in everything. There were hunts for missing heirs; over the years the show found heirs whose estates totaled more than $1 million. There were contests, one of Linkletter’s favorites being What’s in the House?, a guessing game with progressive clues and a grand prize. There were searches for colorful personalities. Who’s the youngest grandmother in the audience, Linkletter would ask … who’s the youngest father? … What woman has the longest hair? In 1945 he conducted weekly searches for the woman in the audience most recently married. This led to a series of nosy and embarrassing questions: How many children would she have? What was more popular nowadays, double beds or single beds? But far and away the most popular feature was Linkletter’s talks with children.
