Hickman said on his website that he knew Denver for 50+ years, but only knew him briefly from a play on stage. He also said that before Hickman's The Bob Cummings Show was on the brink of cancellation, Denver auditioned [along with 20 new and young guys] for the part of Maynard G. Krebs opposite Hickman's character in The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, the secretary's brother knew Denver got the part, the rest was history.
