If he was 40 years old, not 90, I might be upset with him. But I look back on his body of work, and the joy and laughter he brought to so many people's lives, completely overshadows him emceeing an event for a person who will never be elected.

You are right, and i'm not really being serious about this. I find it disturbing, but I think Dick Van Dike is more naive about what he is doing than anything else.

I just thought Old Hollywood had less mental rot in it.

Tail Gunner Joe was right.

I agree. He is 90 years old and it’s probably a chance for him to perform - I don’t think he gets too many opportunities now.

Maybe Old Hollywood was just better at keeping to themselves.

There were different veins going on concurrently. The 1950s crowd that often came from live-NYC television and Broadway, then veered to Hollywood, were predominently left. The ‘old’ Hollywood 1950s studio crowd that starred in or produced things like tv-westerns and filmed dramas were much, much more apt to be conservative.

By the mid-to-late-1960s, forget it. Radicals and degenerates took over.
