Wink Martindale Quotations

I have loved hosting over the years, simply because I love working with people. It's the perfect job.

Regis has a great rapport with the American public.

You go to work, tape five shows in one day and then go home and play golf for the rest of the week and then start the week all over. I thought if something like that came along, I'd love to do that.

And then I did one called High Rollers and that was a lot of fun.

I figure anything over 13 weeks in this business is pretty good.

I have a studio at home, and do 3 hours a day that way.

I've often talked about that, and I've been asked that a couple of times and my feeling are that if you have a good show, a bad host will not even hurt the show.

So after being with somebody for any number of days like that, you can't help but feel for them. You can't help them, but you certainly can root for them.

The people at home don't care what your problems are. They just know that you're doing that show and you're supposed to do the best you can do. It's not a 9-5 type of job. I've considered myself very lucky to do that kind of work.

When you look at Regis, he really and truly does feel for those people, and I feel like I've done it too. You're giving away somebody else's money so what do you care? It's not your money.

Mostly I'm a people person so I enjoyed the interaction between the people I worked with and the game, if it was a good game it was a bonus.

When you knock out 6-10 shows a day, at the end of the day, you really have got to wind yourself up just to do those last shows.

During the summer of '65, I became fairly addicted to Password. I enjoyed his work as a host and thought that this wasn't a bad way to make a living.

I do the radio from home 5 days a week.
