Before he legally changed his name to The Amazing Kreskin, he was born George Joseph Kresge Jr. on Jan. 12, 1935, in Montclair, New Jersey.

He appeared in the neighborhood of 100 times each on The Mike Douglas Show, The Merv Griffin Show and Regis and Kathie Lee Live, and he was a regular on programs hosted by David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon and Howard Stern as well.  8)

He had a TV show in the 70s that was produced in Ottawa and aired on CJOH-TV, the same channel that You Can't Do That on Television was produced for.  I don't live in Ottawa, but I live close enough to it that those shows felt like local TV.  I wasn't around for The Amazing Kreskin Show, but I remember seeing reruns of it
