@@pattibrooks1907When Squares was popular, NBC Studios Burbank, CA was doing tours,and I went on two of them in 1974 and 1976.The board was 17 feet high!!
Too bad you could never have told him in person. Paul would've been happy to hear that. He was never sure if his fans liked him. Paul suffered from depression, and constant bouts with obesity. I'm happy that he gave you some kind of release. I know it wasn't full. But even for a little time, you could enjoy part of your day.
I so used to love watching this with my mom. I'm quite sure a lot went over my head but to hear my mom laugh hysterically was the best thing in the world, when mom laughed, oh you WERE GONNA LAUGH and nobody got mom wound up faster ❤🤣
My favorite comedian ever no doubt it. He was reason I watch this show everyday before I went to work on evening shift in the coal mines he made my day
@@Tessmage_Tessera Yes, he had much of his material written (kudos to the writers, who were amazing!) but the magic is in the searing delivery. He had an absolute gift for delivering these barbs.
I'm so surprised that was aired on regular TV. If it were today, he'd have been bleeped.. The first time I saw him was in Bye Bye Birdie. I knew that he was great, and I miss him so much! 💗✨
My mother appreciated Paul Lynde's humor. As a youth, I found him too sarcastic for taste. With age, he has resonated, and I am so happy that I can still appreciate his sarcastic twist of humor. He is/was/still is, a great comedian
Paul Lynde was great at the time and NO ONE really knew he was Gay. He was just an excellent comeback king with the one liners and a great actor and comedienne. Even today in 2020 people are laughing at his one liners while he is wearing a Leisure Suit larry shirts that were popular in 1979. He should be given an Oscar for making people laugh, even to this day! RESPECTS. RH DSD
What a ridiculous statement. NO ONE talked about it? Really no…Maybe in your world. Of Paul and even Liberace, my dear grandmother of happy memory would say “He just loves differently.”
Hail, hail to the king of snarky comments! I will say this over and over again Paul Lynn gets five snaps in a star formation! He was the one who made Hollywood squares no if ands or butts about it. I can’t find good TV like this anymore. Anyway thanks for posting. Everybody take care, take it easy and be safe
Paul Lynde (RIP) was a comic genius. Nobody watches any of the other celebrities on HS for their funny answers; only Paul Lynde. Man was he fast with his answers. You KNOW that there were answers he WANTED to say out loud but they would have been censored. One of my favorite lines he did was for the question: On a boat, when someone falls over the side, you say, "Man overboard". What do you say when a woman goes overboard? PL: Full speed ahead!🤣
This is so wonderful, gives us the chance to see him again. He was an excellent comedian and died too young🕯️🥀 FYI: That question about a newborn turning ‘very yellow’ wasn’t quite detailed enough. Very yellow to me (maternity nurse) means severe, which needs to be treated or brain damage is a possibility. Now if it means mild -moderate, the answer was ok. NOT - - if there was severe jaundice‼️ Edit: thanks for this video presentation❣️
Paul Lynde was insane!, my fav line from him is when he was on Bewitched, he was Samantha's uncle, I think in the scene she wanted him to do something and they were sitting on the couch and Paul said he couldn't do whatever cause his feet were killing him , the camera pans to his feet and mounted on both feet were guns, pointed at him, and shooting, 😂😂😄 , it was so corny, but it was something people always, ALWAYS said, never occurred to me you know, my feet were actually trying to kill me, like with a weapon,!!, lol totally Vaudevillian, too much,..he was so crazy funny, him Jonathan Winter, Phyllis Diller, Carol Burnett, Sid Ceasar, Don Rickles, fun crazy times in the 70's,. Peace ✌
I don't know if there's a recording preserved of this but my favorite Paul Lynde quip of all time was this: Peter: Paul, true or false, Disney Studios has produced a sex education film? Paul: That's true and guess what happens when Pinocchio tells a lie. (By the way, it was true.)
If you recall during the closing credits, it was mentioned that the questions were given to the stars in advance. Paul did know the questions, but he came up with most of the responses himself. This was also so censors could review answers first. His comic delivery was second to none, that’s why he was copied by so many others.
The questions were never given to the celebrities on this version. The CATEGORIES of questions were given. On the Tom Bergeron version they were given the questions and the answers
In a biography, it was stated that the zingers were actually written for the celebrities ahead of time. However, it is in the delivery, which Paul definitely was a king at doing.
What a sweet guy, with impeccable comedic timing. Died far too young, alcoholism was very common among that generation of gay people because of such a hostile society.
i love em all and him too i dont care what he did in his life he was one of the funniest actor i ever saw my favorit one is the one about the yoyo deing in the white house i pee my self every time i hear it. calie 2019
Paul Smith XDDD Loool!! "I know blue is yes" XD I died. And the "Cash" answer was hilarious! Can't decide which one's my favourite. I've never seen most of these before. You gotta love Paul, very much missed. Thanks for uploading!
Classic comedy from a time when people had a sense of humor about themselves. Someone cries about everything you say these days. Thank God for these classic recordings.
It’s so strange seeing Squares again knowing some are no longer with us. Just did a search and Peter Marshall is very much alive. This show and Jeopardy I watched. Great way to get smart.
The usual super Paul Lynde! The fabulous Phyllis Diller! Can't believe Jan Murray is there. Don't know any of the others. The Riviera was imploded last year 2017.
