TV's 'People Are Funny' host Art Linkletter diesLOS ANGELES (AP) — Art Linkletter, who encouraged both kids and grown-ups to say the "darndest things" during his decades as a genial but gently mischievous television personality, has died at age 97.

The host of "People Are Funny" and "House Party" of the 1950s and '60s died Wednesday at his home in the Bel-Air section of Los Angeles.
"He lived a long, full, pure life, and the Lord had need for him," said his son-in-law, One Tree Hill box set, Art Hershey, the husband of Sharon Linkletter.
Linkletter had been ill "in the last few weeks time, Beverly Hills 90210 on dvd, but bear in mind he was 97 years old. He wasn't eating well, Beverly Hills 90210 dvd box set, 30 Rock dvds, and the aging process took him," Hershey said.
Linkletter hadn't been diagnosed with any life-threatening disease, he said.
Linkletter was known on TV for his funny interviews with children and ordinary folks. He also collected their comments in a number of best-selling books.
"Because of Art Linkletter, adults found themselves enjoying children," said Bill Cosby, whose style interviewing kids on his own show in the late '90s was often compared to Linkletter's.
"An amazing fellow, a terrific broadcast talent, a brilliant businessman. An all-around good guy," CNN's Larry King added about his longtime friend and frequent guest.
Asked what made Linkletter so appealing to audiences, King said, "He had an unusual voice, a twang to his voice that was immediately recognizable. And he looked like your favorite uncle."
"Art Linkletter's House Party," one of television's longest-running variety shows, Beverly Hills 90210 dvd, 30 Rock dvd 1-4, Rescue Me dvds, debuted on radio in 1944 and was seen on CBS-TV from 1952 to 1969.
"On 'House Party' I would talk to you and bring out the fact that you had been letting your boss beat you at golf over a period of months as part of your campaign to get a raise," Linkletter wrote.
"All the while, without your knowledge, The Hills on dvd, your boss would be sitting a few feet away listening, and at the appropriate moment, The Hills box set, I would bring you together," he wrote. "Now, that's funny, Rome series 1-2, because the laugh arises out of a real situation."
Linkletter's programs — like many of today's reality TV shows — often relied on ordinary people sharing too much information on national television.
But his shows were far gentler than today's often mean-spirited productions. His guests experienced, at most, James Cameron boxset, mild embarrassment instead of utter humiliation. When Linkletter elicited an all-too-revealing remark from a guest, he did it with devilish charm, not malice.
Though "House Party" had many features, the best known was the daily interviews with schoolchildren.
Linkletter collected quotes from children into "Kids Say The Darndest Things," and it sold in the millions. The book "70 Years of Best Sellers 1895-1965" ranked "Kids Say the Darndest Things" as the 15th top seller among nonfiction books in that period.
The prime time "People Are Funny," which began on radio in 1942 and ran on TV from 1954 to 1961, emphasized slapstick humor and audience participation — things like throwing a pie in the face of a contestant who couldn't tell his Social Security number in five seconds, or asking him to go out and cash a check written on the side of a watermelon.
The down-to-earth charm of Linkletter's broadcast persona seemed to be mirrored by his private life with his wife of more than a half-century, Lois. They had five children, whom he wrote about in his books and called the "Links."
But in 1969, his 20-year-old daughter Diane jumped to her death from her sixth-floor Hollywood apartment. He blamed her death on LSD use, 30 Rock dvd box set, but toxicology tests found no LSD in her body after she died.
Still, The Hills 1-5 dvd, the tragedy prompted Linkletter to become a crusader against drugs.
A son, Robert, died in a car accident in 1980. Another son, Jack Linkletter, Beverly Hills 90210 seasons 1-6 dvd box set, was 70 when he died of lymphoma in 2007.
Art Linkletter got his first taste of broadcasting with a part-time job while attending San Diego State College in the early 1930s. He graduated in 1934.
"I was studying to be an English professor," Linkletter once said. "But as they say, life is what happens to you while you're making other plans."
He held a series of radio and pr
