Many shows had the host make some sort of sign off remark at the end of the show. Gobel got in trouble one week when he signed off: "Who says you can't buy happiness? Stop off on the way home and pick up a fifth."
Jimmy Durante always said: "Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are."
And every host at one time or another said: "We're a little late folks, so good night."
