In 1941, Guedel was vice president in charge of radio for the Dan B.
Miner Advertising Co. of Los Angeles when he met Art Linkletter. The two
formed Guedel and Linkletter Productions that same year. Their first
show was "People Are Funny," which began on radio in 1942, moving to
television in 1954. Linkletter and Guedel also teamed up to do "House
Party," which ran for several years. Other programs they produced
included "Earn Your Vacation," a summer replacement show for Jack Benny
whose star was future "Tonight Show" host Johnny Carson.
