If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?
People of my generation remember him as a TV staple from the 1960s to his death in 2007, a contestant on the gameshow To Tell the Truth, and Bob Newhart’s crony in all three of his sitcoms. He had a comic timing that went perfectly with his long, rather hangdog face, but more to the point, he was personally witty. Twice he came to our house for dinner when I was in my teens, and both times his stories about theater, television, etc. made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt. (He even signed my copy of the novel Zotz! which was made into one of the very few movies where he got top billing.) A gracious, very funny man, and one of the best dinner guests we ever had.
