I remember Gene telling me a story that at the time The Hollywood Squares with Peter Marshall was so popular that the cafeteria at Beth.Steel would be so jam packed with all the guys watching The Hollywood Squares daytime version that Gene couldn,t even buy/eat lunch.
Whenever I see the late Sonny Bono--he reminds so much of my late stepbrother Mr.Eugene B.Montz Jr.aka GENE 4-25-1939-3-25-1997. Gene could pass as Sonny Bono,s twin brother.Gene was a steelworker who worked at Old Bethlehem Steel Sparrows Point Plant Sparrows Point Md.for 26 years from 1969-1995 when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer until his death on March 25 1997 a month before his 58th birthday.
I remember my late mother Lois Ann Routhier 10-28-1934-5-6-1984 telling me the day I was about to be born--April 12th 1972 before my father Phillip Anthony Routhier 9-17-1924-8-6-2001 took her to.the hospital in Santa Rosa California which was called Warrack Hospital at the ⌚ earlier that morning before Mom had me--she was actually watching The Hollywood Squares daytime version with Peter Marshall.I was born later in the afternoon at 4:20pm.We lived at 527 Millbrae Ave.Santa Rosa California.
So sad that paul lynde died at such a young age compared to the rest of the stars. Yes, he had an alcohol problem, but dying at 55 after being so famous is saddening 😢 He was such a funny person 😢
Paul was The Funniest celebrity on that show; in actuality, his Doctor in Beverly Hills ( Dr. Packard) said that the autopsy on Paul showed that " Paul had the heart of an 89 year old man, mostly due to his chain smoking for many years". Paul Will Always be The Best Comedian & Celebrity on the Hollywood Squares".
16:05 if age 25 back then, how long before it becomes age 15 😳 wish they gave a reference point... from a decade earlier or century or what not. Charo's response was hilarious, on par with what Paul Lynde might do 😁🤣
I Absolutely Loved this show & Always will, but i could Never stand it when jonathan winters was on it, he had the Worst habit of dragging out an answer to a question, just so he could act Silly!
He's being rushed by the stars constant malingering. He says a lot "Time is money" and he has to prod the stars to answer. He has a job to move the show along and get the contestants as much money and prizes as he can. I hope he won some kind of award for basically baby sitting sometimes. This is why we like Paul: he was quick with the comedy and could answer the question in good time.
Now I remember why I hate Joan Rivers; all she had to do was say "His secretary is a guy" and dead pan it. Over actor. How did this show get Glen Ford and Debbie Reynolds?
