[edit] Spit-Take

shouldnt it be mentined that he popularized the 'spit-take routine'?

[edit] Religion

Danny Thomas was Orthodox, not Catholic. See: http://www.ex-morninglanders.com/news/news22.htm ——Preost ^talk contribs 23:47, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Are you sure about that? I'm essentially positive he was Maronite Catholic. He donated a statue of Mary to St. Victor's Catholic Church. He's also listed at Famous Maronites. The Antiochian site only lists him as Arab, not specifically Antiochian Orthodox. I find several other sources saying he's Maronite.--T. Anthony 09:56, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

He was Catholic, not Orthodox. I kind of knew that anyway, but as pretty much every site I find agrees on it I'm going with it. Although he was Maronite, not Roman. We don't have a category for Eastern Rite Catholics so I muddled through.--T. Anthony 11:06, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Inconsistencies

The article has 3 different dates of birth listed : January 6/1912, January 16/1912 and January 6/1914. Which is correct? Hotwine8 (talk) 19:14, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

According to the Social Security Death Index (SSDI), Danny Thomas was born on 6 January 1912 and died on 6 February 1991. This is an official source of record, and should be considered authoritative and final unless it is either found to be contradicted by other official records, or a convincing argument can be made as to why it is incorrect. 64.81.122.11 (talk) 19:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
