Footnotes
Hal Goodman (1915-1997) was an Emmy® Award-winning comedic screenwriter and producer; as the LA Times obituary noted, "He put funny words in the mouths of entertainers ranging from a young Bob Hope to Johnny Carson..." He was nominated for eight Emmy® Awards and won one for The Flip Wilson Show. He began his career in radio and got his big break in television as a joke writer for Bob Hope after World War II. Along with his writing partner, Larry Klein, he wrote for Carol Burnett, Jackie Gleason, Red Skelton, Frank Sinatra, Milton Berle, and Steve Allen before spending the latter part of his career in the 1970s and 1980s writing for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, being responsible for many of Carson's most memorable sketches and monologues of that era. The Julie Andrews Hour began in 1972 and garnered rave reviews, winning 10 Emmy® nominations for the 1972-1973 season.
