Was Jack a Cigarette Smoker On The QT?[edit]

I thought he claimed that he was against smoking, but recently I read an interesting on-line article entitled "Sheriff John Rovick Was No Pee-Wee Herman" by Richard Stellar dated October 8, 2012 that surprised me, health stuff & all. The article was firstly a tribute to "Sheriff John", who had a very popular children's TV program in the Los Angeles area in the 1950/60ties, & who had recently died.

But then Mr. Stellar went into telling of his own time on the "Mr. Wishbone" kids' show (which ran on the same Los Angeles tv station as Jack LaLanne's), and that Mr. W. & Jack shared the same studio. I won't go into details of the incident, but you can easily read about it on-line if you wish. According to LA TV archives, to attach a possible date to the incident, the Mr. Wishbone's show started circa 1965, with his morning show running a few hours prior to Jack's.70.36.177.253 (talk) 08:32, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

More LaLanne Hyperbole?[edit]

Since "No Original Research" does not apply to the Talk Page...

It's been my contention that much of Jack LaLanne's "Back-Story", up-lifting as it was, was self-created for publicity purposes at the time he went "National TV" in Los Angeles back in late 1958. And that includes the Bragg/LaLanne "meet-up" that allegedly turned Jack's life around at age 15.

I recently ran across the following from the photo/print article on Jack LaLanne in "Newsweek" (which weekly magazine seemed to be a competitor of the-also-weekly-"Time"-magazine in its day), entitled "Helpmate for Herenow" (reference to Jack's oft-told joke about Billy Graham being in charge of the "Hereafter"), issue July 25, 1960:

"San Francisco-born, LaLanne became a convert to fat-free living in his teens, opened ten gyms in Northern California at 19, got into TV in 1951."

Ten (10) Gyms in Northern California at age 19...really??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.36.177.253 (talk) 08:33, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
