Tiger Woods' first TV appearance was on the Mike Douglas show when Tiger was 3, I believe.
Mike Douglas was a good troop. His shows were entertaining and polite.
Speaking of Tiger Woods, this from another obit:
Douglas fondly recalled when Tiger Woods, who as a preschooler was already drawing attention, appeared on the same 1978 show as Bob Hope, an avid golfer. "I don't know what kind of drugs they've got this kid on," Hope quipped, "but I want some."
