replies: text: If you can find information from reliable secondary sources (ie not blogs, etc.) that provides info on this, why not add it in? Certainly his attitude shouldn't be hidden, but claims like this do need reliable sourcing. --Charlene 23:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I just looked on line and aside from a Hotel that he was associated with that had a problem with Jews, there is nothing to suggest that he had a problem with Jews specifically. --Nosehair2200 (talk) 22:21, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

message: I'd heard stories about the demise of his beloved pet elephant which supposedly was/is buried at Beacon Hill, including from one eyewitness. It seemed bizarre til I read more of his split personality. Is there verifiable information on that incident?  Spunky1 18:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I understand that a pilot John S. Mark saw a UFO on 25 June 1954. However, none of the sources given in any of the revisions  of the article mention Arthur Godfrey so unless there is a more informative print source about this encounter mentioning Godfrey, it shouldn't be mentioned in the article. However, this UFO siting from 1964 might be more notable in Godfrey's life and might deserve a mention. To me these claims only deserve about two sentences in the article at the most. I ask that you do not revert again - please discuss the UFO experiences here on the talk page. Graham87 15:10, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

message: It is my opinion that the following paragraph does not belong in Godfrey's bio, it should be in Steve Allen's entry.  Thought I'd go for other opinions before deleting it.
:On a memorable evening in 1953, up and coming New York TV personality Steve Allen was a last-minute replacement for Godfrey on Talent Scouts. When it came time to deliver the live commercial for Lipton tea and soups, Allen impulsively prepared the soup and tea on camera, and poured both into a ukulele. Shaking the mixture well, he played a few damp notes while reciting the rest of the commercial. Allen became a national celebrity and within the year he would become the first host of NBC's Tonight Show.
