Who is Derwood Kirby?
Paul Kunkel
restaurant mentioned the name Derwood Kirby. Now I cannot sleep until I
can remember who that is. The name is very familiar. I seem to want to
connect it with an old television show. Someone help me.

I think he was also Allen Funt's co-host on "Candid Camera"

Think it's Durwood vs Derwood. Tall guy did announcing and some skits as
I recall. Is he still with us?

of years.
I had the honor of blocking Mr. Kirby's car in an airport parking lot in
Florida in 1973. I was paged to move my car so that he could get out. When
I saw who I had blocked in, I was impressed; I never realized how tall he
was - he had to be at least 6"5"...

I would have said Durward. He was what they call a "TV personality".
He didn't act, he didn't sing, he didn't tell jokes.

Derwood (or Durwood) Kirby was a real person (a TV personality-type, I
think), who was the inspiration for Rocky and Bullwinkle's Kerwood _______
Derby. Also, I think that he tried to keep the episodes with his "name"
off the air, but I may be wrong (which is something that I often am).

: : I just saw PULP FICTION. The waiter in that fifties theme
Don't think so. Didn't he also co-host Candid Camera with Allen Funt?

PBS broadcast a program about Rocky & Bullwinkle a couple of years ago.
They said that Kirby _did_ try to bring some legal action against them,
but were vague as to the results. I know that when I recorded the whole
series when they were on broadcast tv a few years ago, those episodes were
not shown. Kirby has died since then, and Nickleodeon did broadcast them.
Maybe there was a prohibition of broadcasting them which ended when he
died, or maybe cable tv wasn't included in the prohibition.

And that was indeed a takeoff on the name of Durward Kerby (Kirby?), who
got pissed and sued them over it. Unfortunately, that's all I can remember
about the guy. I think he may have been a radio personality of the Fifties;
his name seems somehow linked in my mind with Dorothy Kilgallen's. Maybe
they were on the same program?

Yeah, I was driving in 1973; I was 20 years old at the time. Do the math;
I'm 41 now. I don't think that qualifies yet as old, unless, of course,
you happen to be 15; from that stage of life, anyone over 20 is old.

Holy Wah! I'm 41, too! I'm the token engineer over 40 they keep around

Mr. Kirby spelled his first name "Durward".

Seems to me I remember that the tv shows of Gary moore had that personality
mentioned aboved.. He was the announcer for Moore's variety shows on tv
during the '50s when Moore was very popular..

Derwood Kirby (Durwood Kirbey?) was a regular on the Carol Burnett TV
show. I think they were also together on the Gary Moore show. If you
don't remember BW television, then you may have missed them.
