But I wish they would make a musical of some kind. I miss musicals so much. You don't see them anymore.

So at 16 I got a job at the local radio station. And I was working after school and weekends. I did the news; I did everything. I did - played records.

Otherwise, everything got better and better, just one surprise after another. And that's why I wrote the book about a matter of being in the right place at the right time, and just luck.

I grew up in Danville, Illinois, right in the middle of the state.

Probably one of the happiest moments, outside the birth of all of my kids, was the first time we won an Emmy, that the show won an Emmy. That was a big night.

Do you know that I was the anchor on the 'CBS Morning Show?' And my newsman was Walter Cronkite.

My wife, as proud as she was of me, hated show business for good reasons. There was something about the spouse always being pushed out of the way, shoved aside. She wanted to get away from it.
