I also remember sneaking a watch of Steve Allen's late show, but my mom would insist I turn it off and go to sleep. So I wouldn't fall asleep in Mrs Murphy's boring 4th grade class.
I was around 9 or so, and had thought "fink" was the "F" word. I was a little behind in my vocabulary

Someone with the name Donald Fink wrote a television broadcast reference book.
