Best Answer

Julius LaRosa was fired by Arthur Godfrey in 1953, after having been a performer on Godfrey's weekly variety show for two years. Godfrey did not like the fact that LaRosa was getting more fan mail than he was (a year after being hired, some 7,000 fan letters a week). He also didn't like it that once LaRosa became popular he hired his own manager and booking agent rather than using Godfrey's staff.
