Here is a short Bio on Arthur Godfrey getting a little to big for his britches. Good back story as told by Julius and others in the broadcast industry.
Godfrey's bad,spoiled attitude began long before he even knew Mr.Larosa..he starting becoming an abusive and spoiled bully..when he found success on radio in the 1930's.It really got bad when he fired Poor Mr.Larosa on his radio/tv talk/variety show.
I thought "she's too fat for me" was just awful! But what he did to Julius was worse. No one saw it coming that's for sure! Except for Godfrey of course. What a lousy thing to do.

I've got to agree with Mr.Godfrey.."The Too Fat Polka"is the dumbest song that I've heard..My God! What a stupid and annoying piece of S-!

I'm no Godfrey fan, but his show was on until 1972. It doesn't seem that his 1953 mistake made the difference in his popularity.
