I remember Arthur Treacher and his opening about "the dear boy, himself" instead of "here's Johnny." And Griffin was a great friend of the Reagans. I really enjoyed his show and the afternoon show that Della Reese did. I used to come home from High School and watch Della. She was a riot, as well as having a great voice.
Never did see Della Reese. I do remember after school, I'd come home and watch the ABC After School Special. LMAO
