Didn't Douglas have a gimmick in which he'd always show off the fancy lining of his suit coat or something like that at the start of every show? ... or was that Merv Griffin? I'm not ashamed to say I probably was paying more attention to my coloring books at the time. 23skidoo 19:17, 7 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Guest list has to go

Latest comment: 18 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

That full list of guests makes this article way too top heavy. I suggest spinning it off into its own article. 23skidoo 18:53, 14 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fully agree on this suggestion Jude86 05:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

No references

Latest comment: 4 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

It is amazing that an article could be created in 2004, involving several editors and four projects, many current year edits, contains a "no reference" career tag since 2009, and there is to date not one reference. There are even comments to create a spin off article!! I am still pretty new at this but someone will have to explain the reasoning behind a thought or desire to create a second non-referenced article from another article that shows no references but contains external links that are actually masked references. Considering there has been no effort to improve this article I am inclined to just nominate it for an AFD but as per my practice I would like to see any possible comments first. It is amazing that an article has survived for over seven years while being the epitome of a bad article. The five pillars, that contain the fundamental principles of Wikipedia, does cover verifiable sources, and this article fails this as well as all three core content policies. If there are any editors watching this page I would hope to at least have a dialog before reaching a conclusion of direction. I will also take a look at the links in the article to see if this is wide-spread. Otr500 (talk) 16:07, 22 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'm only rookie editor too. I try to fix things I find broken. I came here to get details about two musical guests, neither are listed. Grover Washington Jr was a 1977 musical guest, and Herbie Mann was a 1969 musical guest. Apart from references/citations, if someone could a best practices entry this should look like, it might be helpful. This page in it's current state is not that useful.
