Idle thought on a Friday afternoon: thanks to old showbiz podcasts, Berle's dick is probably more famous than ever.

Wasn't he the first guy on TV?

It certainly came up on nearly every episode of Gilbert Gottfrieds Amazing Colossal Podcast

What, his dick?

Yes, GG would always ask the old timers if they had seen it and had a story. They usually did.

Only rivaled by the Pat McCormick helicopter story and Cesar Romero's Orange Wedges for frequency of discussion

In her autobiography, Debbie Harry tells a memorable story of David Bowie hoovering up a pile of cocaine and then whipping out his dick for her to admire. Apparently, this was a thing with him.
I can't listen to Bowie anymore without thinking of that story.

Along with--of course--Phil Spector, from whose house she and the band fled after the guns came out (not a euphemism).

Well, Phil was cancelled

For literal murder

I think there was a related Milton Berle reference in Better Call Saul.

Oh, and Dizzy? The "Robert" thing was because I had lost my nametag at the HOB so I just grabbed up a discarded one in the office that said "Bob." For about a year, I was known as Bob by the customers there... one time a regular saw me on the street & called out "Bob!" and I ACTUALLY TURNED AROUND. Anyhow, Milton Berle was there to see Steve Allen (yes, at the House of Blues. Don't ask me!) and he looked at my nametag up close and then looked at my face, put his hands in the air & exclaimed "ROBERT!" as though I was his long lost son. About ten minutes later he got lost on the way to the bathroom and I had to search the entire building for him.
