No, Art Linkletter was not the financial backer of the hula hoop. The hula hoop was popularized in the late 1950s by the Wham-O toy company, co-founded by Arthur "Spud" Melin and Richard Knerr. While Linkletter was a well-known television personality and had a significant influence on popular culture, he did not play a financial role in the creation or promotion of the hula hoop.
