	Arthur Godfrey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Godfrey used his pervasive fame to advocate a strong anti-Communist stance and to pitch for enhanced strategic air power in the Cold War atmosphere, but also became a strong advocate for his middle class audience to consider vacationing in Hawaii and Miami Beach, formerly enclaves for the wealthy.
		Godfrey was also angered that Bleyer had produced a record for Godfrey's Chicago counterpart Don McNeill, host of The Breakfast Club, which had been Godfrey's direct competition on the NBC Blue Network and ABC since Godfrey's days at WJSV.
		Godfrey's problems with the media and public feuds with newspaper columnists such as Jack O'Brian and newspaperman turned CBS variety show host Ed Sullivan were duly documented by the media, who began running critical exposé articles on him full of scandal, linking him to several female "Little Godfreys".

	Godfrey, Arthur
		Arthur Godfrey ranks as one of the important on-air stars of the first decade of American television.
		Godfrey played host and impresario, sometimes singing off key and strumming his ukulele, but most often leaving the vocals to others.
		Godfrey perfected the art of seeming to speak intimately to each and every one of his viewers, to sound as if he was confiding in "you and you alone." Despite all his irreverent kidding, then, advertisers loved him.
