Bob Denver

During the series, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, a rumor started that Bob as his Dobie Gillis character, Maynard G. Krebs, had recorded an album called Like What? Even though the event proved to have never happened, Mr. Denver had people offering him vast amounts of money for a copy of the recording. The myth continues as a faux-copy of the highly sought after collector's item, showing a picture of the so-called album cover, appeared over the Internet. The image was possibly from a CBS photo shoot, but Bob himself couldn't figure out where it came from.

After retirement, Bob and his wife, Dreama, lived in Princeton, West Virginia, where they co-hosted Weekend with Denver and Denver, a syndicated radio show. Fellow Gilligan's Island cast member Dawn Wells was the show's "castaway correspondent", and phoned in weekly reports.

After working with Dwayne "Dobie Gillis" Hickman on 142 episodes of the CBS sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, which spanned four years, Bob and his wife, Dreama, remained close friends with Hickman and his wife, Joan.
