There's this Lebanese lady I dearly loved who raised 13 children in Toledo, and she retired in Phoenix. She said, I get up every morning and say, Thank you, God. I do the same thing now.

I never got any kind of mail regarding whatever I did on the show.

I helped set The Gong Show. I've done so many game shows. I've helped create game shows.
