Arthur Godfrey was an American radio and television broadcaster and entertainer who was sometimes introduced by his nickname, The Old Redhead. An on-air incident undermined his folksy image and resulted in a gradual decline.
At the peak of his success in the mid-1950’s, Godfrey helmed two CBS-TV weekly series and a daily 90-minute television mid-morning show, but, by the early 1960’s, his presence had been reduced to hosting the occasional TV special and his daily network radio show, which ended in 1972.
