Synopsis by Brian Gusse
This compilation tape showcases three of TV personality Art Linkletter's television shows. The first, People Are Funny, was a show where Linkletter pulled practical jokes and pranks on unsuspecting people to see what reaction he would get. House Party was an afternoon talk show aimed primarily at women. Linkletter and the Kids was a show that grew out of a popular segment of House Party, where Linkletter would interview young children and basically just let them talk about their lives; they would often unknowingly blurt out somewhat embarrassing but often extremely funny "family secrets."
