PLAYBOY: \n You had some trouble with the networks, too. Didn't NBC ban you for a dozen years or so?\p
\b WEST: \n Yeah, but you know, it's hard to be funny when you have to be clean. It happened 'cause of somethin' I said on the Charlie McCarthy show. All I did was ask Don Ameche, who was playin' Adam to my Eve, "Would you like to try this apple sometime, honey?" Then I invited Charlie to come up and play in my woodpile sometime.\p
\b PLAYBOY: \n There was also a \i Person to Person \n interview with you that was never aired. Why?\p
\b WEST: \n Oh, that was when I took Charles Collingwood back to my famous bedroom and he asked me why I had so many mirrors on the ceilin' and everywhere. I said, "They're for personal observation. I always like to know how I'm doin'." He had to change the subject fast, ya know, so he asked me about current events and I says:
"I've always had a weakness for foreign affairs." That was about all. Oh, yeah, they asked me if I had any advice for the young and I said, "Sure. Grow up." So they refused to put the show on. But I believe in censorship. After all, I made a fortune out of it.\p
