I was watching an old rerun of Carson tonight from 1977, and Gregory Peck was a guest. He came out clenching a McArthur cob, and gave one to Johnny. He had just finished filming the movie McArthur.

Peck also mentioned that McArthur rarely smoked the iconic corncob, basically just using it as a prop for photos.

Thanks for the info ... the prop aspect maybe not surprising because - as Marlinspike mentioned in response to my enquiry - the MacArthur is "unwieldy" and "impractical" but it surely does make for a great and stylish prop.

With the Big Three consuming tobacco in its different forms - Churchill with his cigar, Roosevelt with his cigarette and Stalin with his pipe - it's good to see the General representing the U.S. with something more substantial, more real, and more traditional than a Camel in a cigarette holder.

Funny you should mention that, because Peck also mentioned Roosevelt with the cigarette holder and Churchill with the cigar...

Matter of fact, here’s the show... Peck comes on at 10:00 minute mark.
