Being a young Tyke, AG was seldom remembered; however STILL to this day remember the firing of the singer and the talk it created. AG didn’t last long after that. In that era, Tennessee Ernie Ford show and Art Linkletter show were watched a good deal more than AG
I liked The Nairobi Trio on The Ernie Kovacs show.
My memories of television only go back to late 1958-early 1959, and Godfrey was still around but I never paid attention to him, and I am pretty sure my parents didn't care for him much. I do, however, remember my mom regularly watching Tennessee Ernie Ford and Art Linkletter during the daytime.
The real - albeit often unintentional - entertainment during the daytime for many years was the local programming from the shoestring television operation which was the only channel that really came in clearly all the time.

Art Linkletter was a great guy. As a kid, I remember that show fondly.
