Any idea if he was wearing the infamous "Kirwood Derby"? ;D
 
I vagely remember Durward Kirby from the 60's (Who could forget that name?). Other than appearing on the various game shows, what was his claim to fame?

Durward Kirby was mainly known for his stints as co-host/second banana to Garry Moore on the CBS Daytime (1950-58) and Primetime (1958-64) Garry Moore Variety Shows..He also had a long run with Allen Funt on "Candid Camera"
 
Correction: Hennesey did not air on Ch. 11; I
don't know what I was looking at. It did air
on Ch. 9 at 10 AM, but 11's movie continued
until 10:25. Sorry for the error.

And for those too young to get the other reference, the "Kerwood Derby" was the pun-ny prize in a story line on "Rocky and Bullwinkle." Mr. Kirby apparently was not amused as he tried to sue Jay Ward & Co. for defamation. (Some folks just take themselves WAY too seriously....) ::)
 
The "Kerwood Derby" was supposed to make
anyone who wore it the smartest person in
the world. When Durward Kirby threatened
to sue, Jay Ward egged him on to do it (great
publicity, you know). Does anyone know if
Kirby actually did sue?
