Best known as the sidekick on The Garry Moore Show, Kirby worked with Moore on and off for 30 years. Kirby was also highly visible as the co-host (with Allen Funt) of Candid Camera, which started on TV as a segment on the Moore show. He was so well known that the Rocky and Bullwinkle show once had a plot about the search for the "Kirward Derby" -- which could make its wearer the smartest man in the world. Kirby died March 15 at a nursing home in Ft. Myers, Florida, from congestive heart failure. He was 88.
