Yeah, that's all I remember of him. I was still fairly young when he was a thing.

Carson going to the CPO Sharkey set to confront Rickles the next night was greatness.

Did Carson say "hang him"?  Could you imagine the outrage today?

No, but that doesn't mean it's not funny as shit.  Al's a four TD god.

Loved Captain Kangaroo every morning. This was before early news shows except for the local farm report and the Today Show. 

Trivia: Hal Smith was the voice of Goliath. He was also the perpetually drunk Otis Campbell on The Andy Griffith show.

Since Steamboat shared an Andy Griffith clip and RPM mentioned Otis the Town Drunk, I'll chip in with one of my favorite Don Knotts moments. Think I shared it on the Shag back in the day, but it's worth repeating.
