Singing career, multiple TV series, permanent guest host for Johnny Carson for a short while... Sausage was his safety career. I'd forgotten about the Howard Hughes character that he played. That's awesome too.

I'll always remember the time Patty and Cathy inadvertantly won the "Jimmy Dean Show" songwriting contest with a plagarized song.

He once complained in an interview that he couldn't call one of his brands "pure pork sausage" because it had spices in it--so it technically wasn't "pure".
