Off-topic discussion of rumors that couldn't possibly wind up in the article |

Are we seriously not going to mention the coffee-table thing? I know it's not in the greatest taste, and I'm not here to soil a dead man's memory, but I do seriously think that the majority of the people that look up this guy now in the 21st century are actually looking for the one thing we do not mention on the page - that being that it is a very widely spread rumor that Danny Thomas liked to lie underneath a glass coffee table while someone (hookers) defecated on it. Please check these rumors with a simple google search before you identify me as a troll. Where did YOU hear this rumor? Please cite your source(s) if you want to convince anybody that it should be taken seriously. 192.54.250.11 ( talk) 19:40, 30 January 2013 (UTC) It was referenced on HBO’s Veep as well. This is a well known fact about Danny Thomas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.208.193.203 ( talk) 15:01, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Are you implying that Chuck Berry didn't do that stuff? Because there's video evidence — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.206.241.106 ( talk) 20:19, 23 February 2020 (UTC) In Chicago, I first heard the rumor told about Jack Brickhouse. None of the rumors about any of the celebrities and semi-celebrities have any basis in reality. Mr JM 17:30, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Someone (most likely the improbable subject child) keeps adding that Thomas had a second son by an illicit affair. Unverifiable, Family denies.) The only source for this "information" is the subject child's website, and a website of his "crazy mother", whom he believes although he states she abandoned him at 14, was abusive and was not of stable mind. This "child" claims Thomas left "death messages" in his autobiography to him and his mother and is responsible for the death of his child. You can see the mothers website at www.claudiaokeefe.com. I feel it is very important to block this person from adding to this page for his own benefit. Zabadu ( talk) 17:10, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Danny Thomas was Orthodox, not Catholic. See: http://www.ex-morninglanders.com/news/news22.htm —— Preost talk contribs 23:47, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
The article has 3 different dates of birth listed : January 6/1912, January 16/1912 and January 6/1914. Which is correct? Hotwine8 ( talk) 19:14, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Freemasonry is inconsistent with Catholicism and he most likely would have been excommunicated for his activity with the Masons. Is there any information about this? [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoocat ( talk • contribs) 01:59, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
If Danny Thomas was a member of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (Shriners) he would have had to have been either a 32nd degree Mason in the Scottish Rite, or Knight Templar in the York Rite. The Shrine did not allow 3rd degree Masons to join 'till after Mr. Thomas' death. IIRC Mr. Thomas was featured in the Scottish Rite's magazine at the time of his death.
I am surprised that there is no mention of Mr. Thomas's accomplishments as a singer of Arabic songs. He contributes a song with Toufiq Barham on The Music of Arab Americans - A Retrospective Collection, which can be found in the iTunes store and on Amazon. Speaking as a career musician without much experience in Arabic music, I believe that he exhibits talent and what I would guess to be some training. Does anyone know of this?
