  • Is the blond lady in the front row the person who played Lisa on Green Acres?

  • has glasses look like the glasses trainees get in the military.

  • omg, this is so funny. never heard of this dude til now but man, if only game shows were still this cool.

  • what year is this

  • "jeepers crow criminy dutch"? That's even weirder than "good gravy marie"!

  • What's the difference between Match Game 73 and 74 and so on.

  • @thephan26 It's just the year it was on. 1973,1974, etc.

  • 8O This is awesome!

  • When does he make Gene give him that piggy back ride? Wanna see that!

  • fruit

  • "the Hawaiian lady" Lol!

  • HIGH-larious!!! Match Game was always so much fun! Only on Match Game could you get away with as much as they got away with. "The Hawaiian lady with the big .... sweater." LOL It really was like being at a party and just cutting loose.

  • "artichoke"??? What the actual fuck, lady.

  • He figured out cold fusion but whenever ever told a sole

  • I love Eva voice.

  • I thought they used to be boring and grumpy back then, but this is really entertaining. What year is this? the 60s? 70s? Where are all the hippies?

  • young kids out there, this was a REAL game show with funny personalities not robots. RIP Charles and Gene

  • What a badass.

  • Why arent there game shows with half cocked celebrities anymore?

  • He could run a 4 minute mile with an engine block strapped to his back.

  • i want to see his third nipple on his neck

  • I would have loved to have been on this game show (if I was alive then) LOL. and my spot would have to be next to Charles <3 r.i.p

  • IF HES going to do the show 2 piggybackride every day

  • excellent.

    

  • My cousin was on one of the last episodes! It was like the "evening" version and apparently Charles Nelson Riley was so pissed that he refused to speak or make jokes...he basically was taking his ball and going home.

    She had her brush with fame after winning a Valentine's Day role on Happy Days where they would have an open casting call; she won 2 years in a row. She eventually marries Anson 'Potsie" Williams. My Dad said he'd never forget sitting behind THE FONZ at the wedding! Awesome...

  • ANHOHOHOHOHOHOHO

  • that's so hot

  • Don't they know who they be messing with? Charles Nelson Reilly had Chuck Norris' head on his wall! This video can only end with a blood bath.

  • I think the answer for the last lady should have been Cucumber.

  • WHAT WAS THE CORRECT ANSWER!? I am dying to know. Btw i also though it was carrot.

  • "Waiters." "Stinks!!!" Lawls.

  • he trained a rattle snake to do his laundry, i'm telling the man was insane

  • That Zsa Zsa has a hollow leg.

  • Won the tour de france with two flat tires and a broken chain

  • BS: YOU ARE THE SLOWEST MAN WHEN YOU ARE UP HERE; BUT DOWN THERE YOU ARE LIKE SPEEDY GONZALEZ!!!

    CNR: I Got a Show to Run LADY!!!!!

    BS: What have you been doing up here for 7 years?!?!?!?!

    PRICELESS!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL

  • He's wearing sandals, for crying out loud.

    They say that C.N.R. was quite insecure and never felt he accomplished much. I wish  that I could tell him how much joy he brought me- and everyone I know- for so many years. To garner such genuine affection from total strangers is no small achievement.

  • its strange but i came up with carrot too :D

  • I love Charles.

  • CNR: I Got a Show to Run LADY!!!!!

    BS: What have you been doing up here for 7 years?!?!?!?!

    PRICELESS!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL

  • Sweating from laughter!!!!!!

  • This show was scrumtrilecent. Thumbs up if you get the reference

  • "I've got a show to run, lady" LOL

  • LMAO! !!! : )

  • Who is the Bart guy?

  • @talladegajunkie1439 I didn't recognizing him as immediately as I should have with the beard and mustache, but that's Bart Braverman, and I believe he was on a show called "Vega$"

  • @talladegajunkie1439 Bart Braverman.

  • "I want to be like Bob Barker"

    Keep dreaming Charles! As Marcia Wallace put it, STICK TO YA DAY JOB!!

  • I doubt that lady won that game.

  • Hahahahahahahahaha god I love Charles

  • 3:12 - Gene: With the big.....(pause)...big yellow sweater....LMAO! I knew Gene was just like Bob Barker!

  • I wonder if a host could get away with complimenting a contestant on her "sweater" today?

  • R.I.P Charles Nelson Reilly, Gene Rayburn, Brett Somers, & McLean Stevenson

  • Who's the Bart guy?

  • After watching this, I can do soooo many impersonations that no one from my generation will get!  :D ... :( .... :|

  • sheer awesomeness!!!!! Thanks

  • that's dun dun from canonball run

  • NOW THIS IS T.V.

  • @sudaev you sound like a real bore. Eva Gabor wasn't a 'homo' you moron as for the others I never saw them in the act... did you?. if you dont like it why the hell are you watching it? I'd love to see YOU try to entertain anyone.

    What a pathetic looser you must be.

    please do us all a favour and just shoot yourself.

  • @sudaev yes.. I am a 'homo' and a drag queen and proud of both.

    .

  • lmao 5:15 BART??

  • "He'll melt your face with his laser beam eyes! Oh yeah!"

  • He did the voice of King Llort in the 1993 animated feature A Troll in Central Park. If you haven't seen A Troll in Central Park...you must. It is like looking into the face of God and seeing Him smiling back and saying, "You are my most wondrous creation."

  • Interestingly enough, Charles would later host his own game show "Sweethearts" in 1988 which was a big flop.

  • they gotta put this on DVD! i would watch it for hours and i never even liked this show

  • ". . . .and go over there and ask Eva Gabor what her answer is." :-)

  • only marcia is still alive.....

  • @darrylhaynes Bart is still alive.

  • @darrylhaynes, and she plays Mrs. Krabappel on the Simpsons

  • Holy shit, those glasses would have been sooo popular the almost three years!! haha

  • "With the big... yellow sweater."

    BWAHAHAHAHA

  • The men on these shows, especially the emcee's, were always such pervs! I mean, where does Chuck Reilly get off kissing that woman in the blue dress? Or Gene talking about "the hawaian lady's huge.... yellow sweater"? That's not even the worst of it.

  • First of all, the "woman in the blue dress" is the great comic actress Marcia Wallace of "The Bob Newhart Show" and "The Simpsons". Second of all, I think somebody has some issues with men...........hmmm?

  • Thanks, I didn't know that. And yes, I do take issue to being ogled by strange men. Back then, women were still looked at as objects. If you think that I have issues, that's your problem. Maybe you should examine your own sexist, old-fashioned views.

  • They just don't make game shows like this any more.

  • Artichoke???!?!!??

    What the HELL was she thinking????

  • read it to the woman with the big...yellow sweater. lol

  • What version (PM or syn) was this and when was it. I know GSN is in 80 for PM and 81 for syn, just curious if it will air soon or has aired recently.

  • 4:15 "I've got a show to run lady"

    LOL I love Charles' antics with Brett. Those two are the best. This is a classic moment.

  • "what-is-your-answer." LOL

  • STINKS!

  • Don't give up your day job! LOL!

    Charles was great on Match Game!

  • Can someone answer this for me? I watched this when it was on in the 1970's. This happened often, say Gene congratulated a contestant, sent him/her offstage to applause, the turntable

    turns to meet 2 new contestants. Gene: "Lets say hello to Mary Contrary and Peter Pointer". There is applause, the camera pans to the panelists who are all saying hi to the new people, except for Charles, who was often found looking left, offstage. What was he looking at? And wasn't that considered rude?

  • Being an ardent fan of Match Game, I found this moment to be delightful (that's a word Charles would have used). Yesh...it was awesome.

  • CNR was awesome in this moment lol.

    R.I.P. Charles.

  • The brilliance that is CNR lives on forever in these clips. There will never be another one like him.

  • Hey! Miss Krabappel!!

  • THIS IS PRICELES! A TREASURE! Thank you so much for this! THIS IS A GEM! !

  • I just realize that I have a shirt identical to Charles.

  • "I take more time when the jewelry is better, let's go baby"

  • "Let's go baby!"

  • the only man who won the tour de france with to flat tires and a missing chain rofl

  • cause you can spit in the wind, tug on supermans cape, but lord know you just dont mess around with CNR

  • I see where you're going. Time to ramp up a Charles Nelson Reilly Facts website, done a al Chuck Norris.

  • what are you talking about? what facts?

  • Don't play so dumb. Aren't you aware of the Chuck Norris Facts site?

  • that name does sound for-miller, isn't he a karate guy from the 60's? he has got to be in his 70's by now, I think he might be dead.

  • Nope, Chuck Norris will never die!! ;)

  • dude what is your problem?

  • Acquire a sense of humor, darkcylander.

  • your just not making any sense.

  • Charles nelson Riley WARNING DON'T DISRESPECT HIM HE WILL POUNCE YOUR FACE IN!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I've seen the man unhinge his jaw, AND swallow a Volkswagen whole! :O

  • Yup Back when turning the dial. UHF. WHF.

  • He made Gene give hima 2 hour piggy back ride. Oh and he's the only man to have sex with a manatee.

  • He ate his own weight in coal and excreted diamonds every day!

  • @crazy4sian And we have Weird Al to thank for that song.

  • Marcia Wallace: Do you want to go to work on my dress?

    Charles: No.

    lmfao

  • i heard he knows the formula for cold fusion and never told a soul. lol. gotta love c.n.r!

  • I love that song, too.

    GIDDY-UP, GENE

  • two hour piggyback ride lol

  • @animefreak991 "Giddyup, Gene!" lmao!

  • @animefreak991 GIDDY UP GENE

  • @animefreak991 Giddie up Gene!

  • @animefreak991 Giddy up Gene!

  • go to weird als channel and watch cnr its so funny

  • It's so neat to see Marcia Wallace sitting there. She does the voice of Edna Krabappel on the Simpsons. I'm sure most people know that, but she also used to be a receptionist on the Bob Newhart show. :)

  • CNR FOR THE WIN!

  • This episode was on today.

    "The hawaiian lady with the bug ra--yellow sweater."

  • G. you commented on this a month ago? are you psychic?

  • lol, I've been a Charles fan for a while now. I even have his movie. When Amerah told me about the song I was like "...what!?"

  • OMG Im slightly weirded out now. Thats freakish!

    Weird Al is using your brain while his is on show!

  • I hope not, I don't want him know what I dream of. HELL NO.

  • what does his comment have to do with the C.N.R. song?

  • Chaos!

  • Charles will be missed.

  • with the big - uh - yellow sweater.

    hahahaha

  • Jeepers crow criminy dutch? Jeez Brett

  • "Moving right along with the Chuck Reilly game show series..." and "Let's go, baby!"

    Best lines!

    God bless him...

  • I grew up on this brilliantly goofy & funny show but don't recall ever seeing this segment. Gene IS tired and gets right on top of Charles to DO THIS!

    Our beloved Mr. Reilly does a great job here; his friendly teasing of the panel is terrific. I LOVE Gene's coaching of Charles when he says "Don't indicate...".

    .....and hard-core Marcia seems truly pissed about the situation; she is in NO mood to play and is VERY aggressive!

    LOVE THIS CLIP!! Thanks so much for posting!!

  • MATCH GAME was the funniest game show ever!!! RIP to Gene, Charles and Brett. Thanks for the years of laughter!

  • Did anyone notice Charles' flip flops? Or back then they were called "thongs" before thongs were dirty. LOL!

  • If only we had this kind of real back and forth between game shows these days.

    Can you imagine if a celeb took over the show nowadays? They would retake the whole thing.

    Gotta love Match Game. :)

  • i love charles!

  • Bart's answer "cucumber" is the definitive answer....

  • I was gonna say "Banana", personally.

  • Really Gene should get more than just 2.5 stars , but he wins my heart . Because I have admired him ever since I were a child ,and I watched Gene Rayburn on the NBC's Original Match Game. I will always LOVE Gene Rayburn ,and I believe he was just tired for being up all night . Really Gene just rebuked Charles for get too smart mouth with him ,and Gene made him host part of the show .

  • To be fair I thought he was passable for someone who got put on the spot. No prep time. Granted he wasnt his usual flamboyant self, and there WAS notable awkwardness. But he still managed to pull off the job with some degree of competency.

    It was an amusing change of pace for the show.

  • Read that to Betty Kiss, the Hawaiian lady with the big......Yellow sweater. haha

  • Charles: (about Eva's ring) Isn't that lovely?

    Eva: Nothing is real.

    I love both Charles and Eva. They are so awesome... and honest!

  • artichoke up the box...

  • That was absolutely Scrumtrulescent

  • LOVE

  • Match Game is so f**king hilarious!

  • I wish I could find the background music on CD somewhere.

  • Did anyone else notice Charles's shoes, or lack thereof?

  • What other show could someone have such a great time on??...Match Game was the best!!! Especially with Gene....

  • Classic! RIP CNR.

  • I love Charles so so much.

    I love the days when he smokes from a pipe. Classy guy

  • Artichoke???

  • That's what the hell I was thinking.

    Artichoke my ass.

  • I love match game! I always think of something perverted to fill in the blank for each phrase.

  • 1. I immediately thought carrot, too.

    2. Why was Charles hitting on McLean- I didn't think McLean was gay. Usually these guys know who who their teammates are.

  • I said Carrot!! Yes! Five matches!

  • I thought of cabbage, potato, mushroom, and spinach.

  • My answer was Cucumber! I got matcheses!

  • You only got 1 match.

  • "My eyes are bad, but they're not THAT bad!" :-D

  • the woman with the big....yellow sweater! hahaha

  • My God, what a trip. I used to watch this when I was a little one. What a blast from the past. I was too young to understand the humor, but I watched it anyway.

  • Never saw this show (show's my age), but it seemed very entertaining!

  • I have three letters for you, GSN

  • One of my favourite shows, growing up.

  • it's Mrs Krabopple!

  • it's Miss Bianca!

  • Anyone ever notice that Bill Murray is a dead ringer for Charles Nelson Reilly?

  • I like this so much I'm going to feature it on my channel for a while.

  • tired? rayburn was soooooooooo drunk that taping.

  • my great uncle is exactly like charles nelson reilly he's a riot!

  • Hm...why was carrot the popular answer?

  • y, you like cucumber better?

  • I thought of cauliflower, radish, beet, carrot, green onion, and tomatoes.

  • It is also a bit of a phallic image.
