Robert Dennis “Woody” Woodbury (born February 9, 1924) is an American comedian, actor, television personality and talk show host. He is known for his best-selling comedy albums of risqué stories, most of which were released in the early 1960s. He was among the first standup comedians to receive a gold record.

Biography

Woodbury was born February 9, 1924. He was a U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot in World War II and Korea. Appearing at a night club in Florida, Woodbury met Fletcher Smith, who recorded Woody's material and through his connections in Hollywood led Woodbury to appear in a few films.[1] Woodbury's most substantial film role was that of "Uncle Woody" in 1964's For Those Who Think Young (with James Darren, Pamela Tiffin, Tina Louise and Paul Lynde). Among Woodbury's other film appearances: Safe at Home! (with Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris, 1962); Beyond the Bermuda Triangle (TV movie with Fred MacMurray and Donna Mills, 1975); Super Fuzz (with Ernest Borgnine, 1981); and Hardly Working (with Jerry Lewis, 1981).[2]

In 1962, Woodbury replaced Johnny Carson as host of the game show Who Do You Trust? when Carson left to succeed Jack Paar in helming The Tonight Show, a job for which Woodbury had also been competing.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}

From August 28, 1967, to June 13, 1969, he hosted The Woody Woodbury Show, a 90-minute talk/variety show which aired weekday afternoons (in most markets). In the 1970s he often performed on the Las Vegas Strip.

Woodbury continues to perform standup comedy, mostly in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, area, his home base for many years.
