Scarce signature in bold black felt-tip marker on a 3x5-inch pink card, dating to the late 1970s or early 1980s.  In very good condition.  Best known for his portrayals of inept, pearly-toothed anchorman Ted Baxter on "Mary Tyler Moore" (1970-1977) and cartoonist Henry Rush on "Too Close for Comfort" (1980-1987), character actor Ted Knight spent the whole of his career playing similar puffed-up, explosive types on the large and small screens.  One of his last roles before his early death of cancer at age 62 was that of Judge Elihu Smalls, the victim of countless barbs by Rodney Dangerfield, in Caddyshack (1980).
