Trivia
Attended Catholic University of America (CUA) in Washington, DC.
Father of Charles Gibson.
On the The New Adventures of Wonder Woman season one commentary, executive producer Douglas S. Cramer called him a 60s and 70s comic genius.
Before appearing on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, he developed a nightclub act to perform his poems. It was during this time that he developed the character of a southern poet.
So convincing was his southern poet character that Gibson once received a letter from the Governor of Alabama claiming he was "...one of the most exciting talents to come out of Alabama since Tallulah Bankhead".
Attended the Catholic University of America with actor Jon Voight during the 1950s. Along with Voight, he developed a comedy routine and came up with the stage name Henry Gibson. Voight used the name Harold Gibson and together they played two southern hillbillies. After this, Voight took up more serious acting whilst Henry Gibson carried on with his comedy routine, eventually landing his famous role on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, playing a southern poet.
Henry Gibson is actually a stage name - he was born James Bateman. He named himself after Norwegian poet Henrik Ibsen because "...if you say his name with a Southern accent it sounds like Henry Gibson"
