I remember Sonny Fox - I may have been one of the few who actually could keep up with his "Simon Says".
In the '60s, he used to host a show on Saturday mornings called Just For Fun (2 1/2 hours), then the 4 hour Wonderama on Sundays at 9AM. It was never the same when Bob McAllister took over Wonderama...
Sonny Fox headed west, and became the president of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for a time (I believe).
He is still around, and once in a while has turned up at fancy, black-tie retrospectives. I believe Sandy Becker (the original host of Wonderama) and Fox had a bit of a rivalry between them. Sonny Fox (though I liked him) could be a bit of a stiff; a recent airing (on the Game Show Network) of a couple of old Beat the Clock episodes, where he subbed for host Bud Collyer, proved it!
Signor V.
"For me, there's only my wife..."
"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
