He lived during the best of times. RIP I’m glad that he won’t see what is happening to his country. I don’t know if he was good or bad but he sure kept you laughing.

I didn’t realize he was still alive. I was on his show when I was a little girl. I’m now a grandma 21 times over.
To: Borges
Sweet, sweet, kind man who had a long and positive life. Bless him and his family.

Soooooo sad. Rest in peace. Good man.

Hate to hear that....he was a star when TV was in the good old days...entertainment was at a purer form. It didn’t require vulgarity in order to get a laugh...it took creativity and genius

This man was a good conservative too. He will be missed.
I still remember his "Kids Say the Darnest Things" show.
God bless you Art, you'll bring a lot of smiles and laughter to heaven.
