I already have the movie, "For Those Who Think Young" but would like to get more shows with him, if they still exist. He also hosted "Who Do You Trust?" too.

Yeah, he was fun, huh? I was a latchkey kid & hated soaps. So in the summer, I'd watch talk shows & game shows. Oh, and Dark Shadows & The Galloping Gourmet. I guess that explains alot of things....
Anyway, I remember loving Woody's show. Oh, and for those of you from the midwest, remember "Paul 'Baby' Dixon"?

The original name of "who do you trust" was "do you trust your wife" and in the early days of Tv was a vehicle for Edgar Bergen and his puppet Charlie McCarthy. Bergen was on in years and tv wasn't his forte as he moved his mouth. He was much more suited for radio, where he starred for years in the Chase and Sanborn hour, and is fondly remembered for his feuds with W. C. Fields. Anyway came the name change and the host of a game show on night time tv, earn your vacation, was asked to replace Bergen. He took with him to introduce his show, his buddy Ed McMahon. Thus began the national exposure of Johnny Carson. The tonight show had first Steve Allen as it's lead, then Jack Paar and when he retired they asked still not so well known Johnny Carson to replace him. Most thought it wouldn't work. It did and Ed came with him.
