He was on Hollywood Squares a lot. As a guest on Carson, he told the story of how he was stationed in Tulsa during WW2. He said that he did a good job because no Japanese aircraft got past Tulsa. And, he added that he was needed there because "that's where they put me."
As he continued his story, Dean Martin flicked cigarette ashes into Gobel's coffee cup. Sitting on the other side of Dean, Bob Hope was laughing and laughing. Carson asked the audience, "When exactly did I lose control of the show." Gobels thought he did a good job with his story. Gobel's appearance was even mentioned on wikipedia with a quote: " "Did you ever get the feeling that the world was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes?"
