    One of his most popular segments on Hee Haw (1969) was "Hey Grandpa, what's for supper?!" wherein he'd follow a speil with either a really great dinner ("Chicken and dumplin's smothered over buttery biscuts and Grandma's special blueberry pie a la mode." Cast: "Yum-yum!") or something really terrible (e.g., leftovers, of which the cast would follow with "Yuk!"). He was also a member of the Hee Haw Gospel Quartet, a favorite segment of viewers.
