  • This is one of the funniest openings for a show I have ever seen and Paul Lynde was a master of comedy. I was 8 when this was on and remember this vagly on ABC. Sure Paul was gay but so what-that does not take away how much people loved him as I do and still do. He was absolutely wonderful on Hollywood Squares and the show won many emmys. Paul is dead-leave him alone.

  • Thanks for this post. There is no one that was funnier than Paul Lynde and who cares if he was gay. He had talent and warmth and that is what made people love him.

  • @65kowalski -- And don't 4get the inimitable Alan Sues!

  • @65kowalski -- True! Back then gay and lesbian actors never felt the need to be "in your face" about their personal lifestyles.

  • @gspencerful -- Sadly this show bombed in the ratings. A shame since Paul Lynde was a really funny guy.

  • @rickw1100 -- Paul Lynde in the center square saved Hollywood Squares from cancellation.

  • He was one of the funniest comedic actors ever .His timing in delivering a killer line-second to none. Love the man.

  • I could not remember this at all, until his briefcase OPENED up and that trademark smirk Paul has on his face, that's when I remembered the show :-}

    .

    How sad he died alone, he played so many good parts, wish I could have met him. I lived next to Salem when they did the Bewitched segments in 1970 but Paul didn't come to Salem, I would have gone to see.

    .

    Oh well life goes on, at least we have TV and YouTube and DVD's to remember.

  • Oh, for the days of Mr. Lynde, Charles Nelson Riley and Rip Taylor - comedians of a "different persuasion" who nonetheless didn't feel the need to champion their lifestyles. It's too bad Hollywood stars - both hetero- and homosexual - have to make their sex lives part of their public personas.

  • @darrylhaynes - Thats a great story on how you got on the show, thanks for sharing, I hope it was worth it, ya know cash wise.

  • It's funny how you remember little blips of tv from childhood, I have a memory of this show and an aluminum breifcase that maybe he threw in the water, and thats it. The memory maybe isn't even real but it sticks so it must be at least part of one of the only season it ran. Anyone remember anything like that?
