Does Anyone Remember.....

Does anyone remember a TV show that was based out of Hawaii back in the late
1950's .....I think was done in black and white.....and had an older chubby guy that was known for saying ...How r' ya, how r' ya, how r' ya.

He just about always wore the Hawaiian shirts and maybe a straw hat. It was a variety show.

WHAT WAS THIS GUYS NAME !!!???

I just cant remember his name and for some goofy reason it is driving me nuts.

Would you be thinking of Arthur Godfrey ???

He wore tropical shirts and played the ukelele.

But then, the Hi-waya-hi-waya-hi-waya sounds a bit like Jimmy Durante.

THAT'S HIM !!!!

Thanks man. I could just not rmemeber his name. But you are right on. It is interesting how sometimes you can not remember a dude's name and then when you hear it.....like why wasnt it there.

Jimmy was known for saying....Good night Mrs Mc Gillicutty where ever you are.

Arthur Godfrey.....yep, that is him.

I'll bet Julius LaRosa will never forget Arthur Godfrey -- especially after Arthur fired him on the air for lacking "humility." Remember that?

(I don't, but I read about it a long time ago...LOL)
