- His occasional absence from the weekly TV show of his brother Liberace was the source of the star's catchphrase "I wish my brother George was here," which was quoted by Bugs Bunny in a Looney Tunes short when the rabbit was a concert pianist, and in the nineties became the title of a hip hop album.
- In the late 1960's, he headed up two short-lived fast food franchises, "Mr. Turkey," specializing in turkey take-out dinners, and "Mr. Ed" restaurants.
- Beginning in the mid-1970's, he was rather more successful as a music publisher, establishing the "Music by George" publishing house.
- Son of Frances Liberace and Salvatore Liberace.
