I've heard that Milton Berle called him that.

He is also supposed to have dropped in on a Howdy Doody Show 
rehearsal, where he was called "Holy Doody" and "Howdy Diety."

I don't know that CBS had much on at that hour.  It is said that 
Berle dominated his Tuesday night time slot so thoroughly that no 
sponsored programs were put opposite him.  Supposedly Bishop Sheen 
was the first show to get any ratings against Berle.
