We lost one of television’s great pioneers last week when Art Linkletter died at the age of 97. Linkletter, the host of People Are Funny and House Party, was never a fan of scripts, preferring to improvise.

Of course, that can get you into trouble, as he did during a commercial for GE:

How did Art Linkletter, one of the greats, die and no one say anything about it! (Except you, of course.)
