    My 17 year old son said, “I wish TV shows were still like this!” I couldn’t agree more. I grew up watching Danny Kay as well as listening to his reading of children’s stories. What a wonderful talent! He was willing to put in the work and it always showed.

    So, my Danny Kaye story which I wrote somewhere. Anyway, in 1960, I was an army lieutenant, going from Fort Sill, Oklahoma to Korea. Stopped in Las Vegas, not to gamble because I knew statistics, but maybe see a show. Danny Kaye was there but I could not get in because I was too late, or I did not hand the guy a fin, or I was not on the list, whatever. I was not surprised. So I went to the First Cavalry division, on the DMZ, in Korea, and what to my wondering eyes should appear, on Christmas Eve, 1961, in the gym, but Danny Kaye. So we were all rounded up, and I could hardly believe it but, there he was, with his piano player, and no one else. No Bob Hope show. Just him and the piano player. And he did the crazy Russian, and all the routines, without any straight man, he did both parts, and here we were, on the DMZ, waiting for an alert, everybody loaded with rifles, machine guns and I was hoping nobody dropped one. They didn't, and Danny got a standing ovation (no guns dropped.) So to this day I think that maybe I was not supposed to see him in Las Vegas, but somewhere else, more important. The troops loved him and it made a memory for me, and I guess for them, that we would never have had. I stayed in, retired as a colonel, and like to think that he is up there, in the big USO in the sky, and before I get there I will hear the sounds of laughter.

    dena if you are behind this your dad was a huge influence one by his movies and two by actually meeting him.
    in 1984 I was in a children's home for behavior problems. most other kids were orphans in there and those were the ones Kaye came to visit but, most were too damaged or timid to go to Kaye, but me as a behavior Fwit I didn't give an F! More over I was a fan! at 10 years old and I was ready to do what he wanted me to do and, that was the Inchworm song from the movie Hans Christian Anderson I knew it by heart so he pointed his attention completely to me also I was the only Dutch kid there that could speak English so I conducted my fellow inmates to sing the song by basically making it phonetic.
    kaye was a father of children I still feel his heartfelt hug when he left I kissed him on the cheek with power and he grabbed me hard in response I miss you, Daddy, Danny!
    I made a real friend those 2 days!
