Arthur Godfrey Facts
He was known for finding and grooming young, undiscovered talent. But he insisted on loyalty and absolute control over their careers. One of his bigger finds, singer Julius LaRosa, was unceremoniously fired by a very gracious-sounding Godfrey ON THE AIR simply because the up-and-comer found himself an agent. Godfrey's popularity soon declined after the incident -- his "nice guy" public image irreparably damaged.

At his TV peak in 1953, he starred in three different television shows simultaneously -- "Arthur Godfrey and His Friends" (1949), "Talent Scouts" (1948), and "Arthur Godfrey Time".

Steve Allen, Eddy Arnold and Joe E. Brown served as substitute hosts/performers on "Talent Scouts" (1948) and on "Arthur Godfrey and His Friends" (1949).
