LOS ANGELES — Art Linkletter, who hosted the popular TV shows "People Are 
Funny" and "House Party" in the 1950s and 1960s, has died. He was 97.


His son-in-law Art Hershey says Linkletter died Wednesday at his home in the 
Bel-Air section of Los Angeles.


Linkletter was known on TV for his funny interviews with children and ordinary 
folks. He also collected their comments in a number of best-selling books.

In the 1960s, Linkletter became an outspoken anti-drug crusader after his 
daughter's suicide, which he blamed on LSD use although an autopsy found none 
of the drug in her body.
