Jack Benny. "The Walking Man" was a contest on Ralph Edwards' "Truth Or Consequences" program, intended to promote the American Heart Association. From the AHA's own history: "The American Heart Association made its public debut in late 1948 during a network radio contest, "The Walking Man," on the "Truth or Consequences" program hosted by Ralph Edwards. Millions of Americans sent contributions to the AHA along with guesses on the walking man's identity. The effort netted $1.75 million before Jack Benny was identified as the "Walking Man.""
