Line 8:
With [[Fame|Albert Hague]] he cowrote the 1969 Broadway musical ''[[wikipedia:The Fig Leaves Are Falling|The Fig Leaves Are Falling]],'' which is notable for two things: the Broadway debut of [[David Cassidy]] (later of ''[[The Partridge Family]]''), and closing after only four performances. He hosted ''[[The Tonight Show]]'' on several occasions, including the night [[Bill Cosby]] made his first appearance on the show; he would later be credited as co-producer on Cosby's first three albums for Warner Bros. Records.
He was also the author of several books, including the infamous comic novel ''The Rape of the A*P*E (American Puritan Ethic).'' He made his greatest impact on TV as creator of ''[[I've Got a Secret]]'' and as the producer of ''[[The Jackie Gleason Show]],'' but it was his numerous albums of [[Song Parody|song parodies]] and original comic music (starting with ''My Son, The Folk Singer'' in 1963) that made him a household name in the 1960s.
