I own half a million dollars worth of-houses in California. That's a lot for an unemployed actor.

Hard comedy goes for the fences. It's also what you might call take-a-risk comedy because if you don't hit a home run, you might strike out. It's either a belly laugh or it's no go and no show.

After the fifth show as Hogan, my radio appearances had shriveled down to two a week Monday and Friday. One afternoon I stood before the camera, and I was so tired I couldn't remember a line. The next morning I said goodbye to radio or a while.

I really always wanted to be an actor, I guess, but I did enjoy being a disc jockey here in Los Angeles.

When I blow a line at Disney I say, 'Oh fudge,' instead of what is really on mind.

The day of the 'Partridge Family' type of show and the 'Brady Bunch' is long gone. The old 'Ozzie and Harriet' days are over.

People keep saying that I'm lucky to be naturally funny, that I don't have to work at it. They are wrong. I work very hard.

I like to do an occasional guest spot, but it seems that everybody wants me to go the host route. ABC, NBC, CBS and most of the independents have talked to me about it - Carson himself once asked me if I was interested and added he wouldn't be there forever. But I wouldn't do it for all the money in the world.

I had done as much as I could on radio and I was too young to die. So I went on television.

People have a weird idea of what happens with a successful series. After it's over they think we just retire to green pastures. Well, it ain't so.
