Arnold Stang (who costarred on his radio show) said that whenever things were going great for Henry, he had to deliberately sabotage it by picking a fight with a sponsor or a network executive. Morgan had a son out of wedlock, who in adulthood wrote a self-published memoir about their difficult relationship. When Morgan died his son said, "My father and I had a falling out," to which one of the mourners quipped, "You father had a falling out with <b>all</b> of us."AndrewJhttp://www.scribd.com/Andrew_Milnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398796842887862508.post-21066526009799118822014-07-03T12:33:26.271-07:002014-07-03T12:33:26.271-07:00Henry Morgan:

That's quite a span.<br /><br />He was his own worst enemy. I've long been an admirer of Fred Allen, and Morgan continued in that tradition.<br /><br />My first introduction to Morgan was in the 1970s, when I bought some audio cassettes of him reading Robert Benchley essays. Morgan was the right man for the job.<br /><br />I'm not sure how much of his tv work still exists, because I know tv stations used to erase and re-record, rather than archive. <br /><br />People like Morgan seem weirdly contemporary to me, because they lack corny show-biz pretensions, and instead are their irascible selves, like many modern comics.<br /><br />I'm not certain (in today's book publishing climate) if a biography of Morgan would see print. But he deserves a fresh examination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398796842887862508.post-73150048789639925982014-07-03T06:30:01.698-07:002014-07-03T06:30:01.698-07:00Henry Morgan did release an autobiography about 20...Henry Morgan did release an autobiography about 20 years ago called "Here's Morgan."<br /><br />I read it a few months ago.
