Trivia
In 1941, Guedel was vice president in charge of radio for the Dan B. Miner Advertising Co. of Los Angeles when he met Art Linkletter. The two formed Guedel and Linkletter Productions that same year. Their first show was "People Are Funny," which began on radio in 1942, moving to television in 1954. Linkletter and Guedel also teamed up to do "House Party," which ran for several years. Other programs they produced included "Earn Your Vacation," a summer replacement show for Jack Benny whose star was future "Tonight Show" host Johnny Carson.
