What's on TV? Thursday, October 23, 1969




Fredd Wayne, one of the guests on this morning's Today Show, was a familiar character actor on television and in the movies, but he became best known for playing one character in particular: Benjamin Franklin. Wayne first played the Founding Father in 1964 in the one-man show "Benjamin Franklin, Citizen," which he created, directed, and starred in, and is on Today to promote another one-man show, the off-Broadway "Go Fly a Kite." He would appear as Franklin numerous times on television, most famously in a two-part episode of Bewitched in 1966 (the first episodes to be filmed in color), but also on Tonight, Simon & Simon and Voyagers, and in a Bob Hope Bicentennial special. He later recorded an acclaimed audio version of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, and would perform "Benjamin Franklin, Citizen" for the rest of his career, all the while continuing to appear in other non-Franklin character roles on various projects. But you can catch him tonight on NBC in Daniel Boone, where he plays—Benjamin Franklin! All this and more is from the Northern California edition.
