RE: Carl Sandburg and Lincoln
After some research, I found at least two episodes of the Garry Moore show featuring Durward Kirby as Carl Sandburg. The first aired on January 8, 1963. It was the show's 5th season and its 15th episode of that season. That was the show's second version (1958-1964). The first version was from 1950 to 1958.

During the show's third incarnation (1966-1967) Kirby did it again because I also found an article in the Monday, November 28, 1966 edition of the Hendersonville, N.C., Times-News newspaper. In Mead Parce's column this appeared:

"Carl Sandburg, Flat Rock's famed poet and Lincoln biographer (and newspaperman) was the subject of a skit on the Garry Moore Show last night.
Durward Kirby played Sandburg reading some of his poetry.
Kirby, an excellent actor in addition to a great straight man, won cheers for the bit."

I don't think any clips are available.

An interesting note about Durward Kirby. When the Bullwinkle show was on the air, they had a series of episodes involving a hat that when worn made the wearer the smartest person in the world. They called it the...wait for it...Kirward Derby. Kirby considered suing Bullwinkle producer Jay Ward, who reportedly offered to pay Kirby to do so (for the publicity) but Kirby decided against it because of the publicity it would generate.

Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom.
