R.I.P. Art Linkletter

The multi-talented radio/TV man will be best remembered for his interviews with kids

This video is a terrific remembrance of Linkletter at his best – interviewing the kids. The best line comes about 2:20 into the video when Art says to a young boy, “You’re a diplomat, aren’t you?” The boy, without skipping a beat, replies, “No, I’m a Catholic Baptist!” Enjoy:
