From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Art Linkletter's House Party or House Party was an American daytime TV variety/talk show which aired on CBS Radio from January 15, 1945 to October 13, 1967, CBS-TV from September 1, 1952 to September 5, 1969, and on NBC-TV from December 29, 1969 to September 25, 1970.
It was hosted by Art Linkletter and featured a monologue of jokes by Linkletter, an audience participation with a quiz to win prizes, musical groups and a variety of guest speakers from assorted walks of life. There was also a segment called "Kids Say the Darndest Things" in which Linkletter would interview schoolchildren between the ages of five and ten. The popularity of this segment led to a series of books (one edition was illustrated by Charles Schulz, in a rare non- Peanuts work) and a TV series with the same title.
