Trivia
His occasional absence from the weekly TV show of his brother Liberace was the source of the star's catchphrase "I wish my brother George was here," which was quoted by Bugs Bunny in a Looney Tunes short when the rabbit was a concert pianist, and in the nineties became the title of a hip hop album.
