From 1972: The first taped episode of the short-lived revival. Panelists are Henry Morgan, Meredith MacRae, Richard Dawson, and Pat Carroll. Hosted by Steve Allen, with special guest Paul Lynde!
Paul Lynde: "[I play] a father (crowd laughs hysterically)...I know it's hard to believe." Steve Allen (embarrassed): "We all have to go sometime...Well, Paul, If you'll whisper your secret..uhh, to ME..." 'Thought I was going to die laughing!!!
This show was syndicated in 1972, but lasted for about one season, but I'm not sure. It was hosted by Steve Allen. The opening music was "This Could Be the Start of Something Big" which was also done by Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme. It was not that bad than the original with Gary Moore.
I know, it’s obvious that they were friends. And Richard did a lot of of impressions of Paul Lynde on Match Game and Family Feud. Both were the main reasons to watch M.G and H.S.
Meredith MacRae was my first true TV crush as a young teenager. I used to hang on every scene that she appeared in when she was on Petticoat Junction. Of course, Edgar Buchanan always made me laugh. He was a hoot. Yes, Meredith was all that.
I always thought Paul Lynde and actress Alice Ghostley should have been cast as siblings on a sit come. she looked like him, behaved like him, and had a voice like his. i think they would have been a fab comedy team. wow....i just looked up Alice Ghostley and found a clip called "YES - Alice Ghostley IS Paul Lynde" ... i wasn't alone in comparing them :-D unfortunately, the movie "Rabbit Test" this clip and another one were taken from is pretty tacky.
Pat Carroll was laughing so hard after Paul said he played a father on his show because????? IMO, she knew his sexual preference. It was said most in show business knew but never said anything.
They didn’t believe his bedroom activity had anything to do with his Screen Actors Guild activity. You might not know very much about the entertainment business.
Marshal Tenner Winter --- 'Seems so obvious now but, I swear, that back in the day, it never even occurred to me that Paul Lynde was gay. Maybe it was because I was young. I don't know. There were plenty of other gay stars, back then...but, I didn't know THEY were gay either. ...Except for Rip Taylor. With Rip Taylor, it wasn't just "obvious" that he was gay. It was "bleeding obvious". If Rip Taylor had been any "gayer", he would've started flapping his wrists, and flown up into the rafters. What must be said is that the two were, both, great performers, and funny as hell! I haven't seen the likes of them since.
If everyone knew, why didn’t People magazine mention it when it ran a cover story on Paul Lynde? Clearly the magazine’s staff believed a lot of people did not and should not know.
The first one: WHY? (cuz his parents named him duh) 😂 Such a sad existence Paul had Today in no one cares: thats how my brother died.... Weighing more than 700 pounds
