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.
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
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 ❤🤣
@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.
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.”
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❣️
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
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! 💗✨
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 ✌
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
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.
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!
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.)
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.
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!🤣
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
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.
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.
What an underrated actor and comic Paul Lynde was… he was a genius in his own right and a shame society was so un-accepting of who his true self was, he couldn’t live his life on his terms…. What a shame… RIP GENUIS PAUL LYNDE ❤🙏
Paul Lynde was extremely funny and a legend granted, but they were both equally funny people. The problem in each installment is they kept stalling and wasting time valuable to contestants trying to win games and have time for secret square rounds in a 30 minute game.

i sooooooooooooo miss these days. how great was paul lynde. loved this show, these times, and paul lynde
Amen
Paul Lynde always helped me with my depression and I was bullied in high school so stayed home alot watched him on the day time version alot !
Patti Brooks I don’t remember the daytime version. What years was this?
@@analogkid4957 Early 70s and I watched it day time till 1974 then night time version !

I love Paul rest in peace he was a comic genius. I loved it when Peter Marshall was always cracking up laughing from Paul's one liners
Thanks for the Steven seagul change, as the roeing seagul would have been trouble lol
Rose Marie, too.
He died in 1982 and people still likes to watch him again. An actor with a true caustic sense of humor.
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 ❤🤣
sweet memory❤
Nothing better when you were sick...laying on the couch watching this show.
Or depressed
This is great! Paul Lynde was a comic genius. Always good to see him.
All of the jokes were written by Jay Riddick, everyone over 50 years old knows that. Paul wasn't very witty, he just had a funny delivery.
God Bless the one and only Hollywood Squares Host!
Peter Marshall!
I only just discovered this guy and I love him.
I love his voice and mannerisms. X
I absolutely loved this man.
Truly Hollywood’s best funny man. Quick with the cracked answer and filled with humor.
"How many men on a hockey team?" "About half."
What a funny man! So quick witted. He basically played himself in Bewitched.
HUGE talent! I miss Paul Lynde!!! I wish he knew how everyone loved him, we all really did!!! THANK YOU for this post!!!
He DID know
I like that, in addition to the great zingers, you continue to show what he actually answered and how it played
I grew up watching him on this show. Absolutely Adored his humor!
His intonations and facial expressions are as humorous as his answers.
One of THE GREATEST ONE LINER COMIC GENIUSES OF ALL TIME. SHOULD HAVE HIS OWN DVD PACKAGE
Except 95% of the jokes were written by a writer for the show, not Paul. Everyone who's old enough knows that.
@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.
Paul Lynde is a very, very funny guy, he would have made a terrific stand up comedian.
Paul Lynde was absolutely hilarious
I didn’t even know these existed these are great it’s nice to see the original squares not too much scripting and much more wholesome
Paul was my very favorite on the show !
One of my most all. time favorite classic shows ...boy do I miss these times !. Not only this but Uncle Arthur on Bewitched SO endearing !.
His belly laugh was the greatest ❤
At 27:19 --> " Look who's talkin', beaver face!"
*LMAO!!!!*
I miss these days and the TV programs of that time
P
these are some of the best lines, and sure miss my friend Paul but these really bring him back and love that Rose Marie laughs so hard at his jokes.
I read your book Cathy and enjoyed it very much! Love Paul too and miss his kind of humour ;)
@@VintageTreats a big thank u for reading my book on Paul say hi on my Facebook page paullyndeabiograpgy
@Cathy Rudolph will do, thanks!

What a ridiculous statement. NO ONE talked about it? Really no…Maybe in your world.

Everyone knew, you obviously are too young to be aware of that.
@tessmage_tesseraabsolutely even at my young age of 13 I new he was gay so what
You'd have to have been deaf, dumb and blind not to realise he was gay
This is so wonderful, gives us the chance to see him again. He was an excellent comedian and died too young🕯️🥀

Edit: thanks for this video presentation❣️
He was hilarious. I watched this new in the 1970s, in summers, as there was no school. I liked Paul's own sitcom during 1973. The eps are on You Tube.
He was an original and brilliantly funny.
Is Billy Graham considered to be a good dresser?
“No, but he’s a terrific end table.”
great line
Paul Lynda was so funny he is also the voice of Templeton the Rat In Charlottes web .
Two words: Hooded. Claw.
Paul Lynde was very funny with his one liners.
He had writers
It's the delivery
The big hand is in the 9....and the little hand is on the donkey! 🤣😂🤣😂😂😂
Isn't that a Micheal Jackson thing?

Honey it's the delivery
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
Peter " From a food editor," What's the best reason for pounding meat?" Paul Lynde "Oh, loneliness."
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! 💗✨
@@ftoniaromano6480 I heard he died with a questionable youg man in his bed with poppers up his nose.
Poppers=amyl nitrate
Oh Google it
0sum gamezzz - 😆
@Straight Razor Daddy that depends on if he had cum yet... But what a way to go if during orgasm!
lol....!!!
This guy was absolutely hilarious
He still makes me laugh till it hurts.
R.I.P. Paul.You made the show.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
"Mary Pickford" hahahahaha love him
LOVED PAUL L:YNDE IN HOLLYWOOD SQAURES HE MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD
Love Hollywood Squares!
hes the quickest person ever

He was the king, but there was a triumvirate of Paul Lynde, Wally Cox, and Charlie Weaver.
He's a American treasure
Paul Lynde was a TRUE comic. Most comics have to set up their punch-lines. Paul was king! He is missed and loved!
The jokes were written for him. BFD.
So, all the guests in the squares knew all of the questions before hand? Unlikely...
he didnt say all guests.....but he did say the truth....paul lyndes replies were written for him....
btw...i know you think reality shows and pro wrestling are real too...but they are not
Whaddya think peter marshall s job was
I don't care what his personal life was, this man was loveable. Really miss him.
love your perspective
Paul Linde was one of greatest comedians
Why would you think that it matters what you think about Paul Lynde being gay?
Precisely, no one's personal life is any affair of yours if they are not harming anyone.
Me to hes the funniest guy of my life
Ground breaking humor
“I’ll say the yo-yo.” God this man was a riot!! Loved him. 🤣🤣🤣
One of the best!
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.
I love Paul Lynne 💘
My favorite scene when Paul says Beaver face.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He was still great I watch him over& over
@@ruthvitale1610 Me too😊
8:02
peter: cash they like money
paul: laughs hysterically
That was so funny.
8:00 🤣🤣🤣
I bet Paul's IQ was off the charts. He looked very very smart.
He did graduate from Northwestern University.
@@KOHF34 Meant something then ..... not necessarily now.
Oh, he may've had a mean streak,... but he was soooo funny and witty!! 😄😄😅
I loved watching him on this show.
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.)
All time best line ever: 20:15
Q: "Is Billy Graham considered to be a good dresser?"
A: "No, but he's a terrific end table."
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.
And yet, in his last two years he was clean and sober (they say). But no doubt his past years of substance abuse had taken such a toll.
We all had great game shows, t.v. shows, and movies we might have had movies that we're bad but we enjoyed watching.
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!🤣
Don't forget....Charlie Weaver was pretty good, too.....😁
I think I might have laughed more at that if I weren't a woman! 😉
Lynde was naturally funny, but his humorous one liner answers to questions were all worked out by him and his writers before each show.
When paul said a carton of cigarettes it may also been funny if he said its a bad habit lol.
Use too love ❤😘💞😍seeing 👀Paul Lynde on Hollywood 🇺🇸🎥🎬 Squares.
his best line ever was, when a man falls overboard they say man overboard. what do they say when a woman falls overboard. "full speed ahead".
nope Why do motorcycle riders wear leather?. Because chiffon wrinkles!
This guy was absolutely hilarious too bad he's gone
Craig Jillson Paul Lynde
Craig Jillson good lines, but all given to him by writers before the show.
@Craig Jillson - I laughed the hardest to his reaction and guffaw to answer of "what to give a NUN!" It shocked him the most I guess! ;-)
One of Paul’s zingers that broke everybody up: “How many men on a hockey team?” “About half!”
I remember seeing that one. He absolutely cracked up Buddy Hackett with that one.
What does he mean?
@@carltonthepug He meant that the other half were gay and too effeminate to be called "men". (Although I don't agree! 😉)
@@CanvasCanaryActutally, a lot of people interpret it to mean that Paul would sleep with half the team since he was gay.
@@ThunderFist1978 that would only make sense if Paul wrote the joke, but he didn't, and most people were aware of that.
It’s the ones that he first thought of that he wouldn’t say that I want to really hear.
Paul Lynde did not give a shit. A Gay man who never had to declare himself, yet was open to the World with his every action. #MyHero
Thank you for posting this ⚘
I saw the opening with Phyllis Diller I swear I thought it was Boy George!
8:02.....CASH ..THATS A HOWL ......OMFG...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Peter Marshall;
Paul, Do babies in the womb ever see daylight?
Paul Lynde;
Only if mommy takes up ballet!
My favorite answer was the loneliest people were Chrysler dealers
I just wanted to remember him for a moment , I forgot how funny he was.
Oh my!! Thank you. I enjoyed this. ✌🏻🫶🏻
He had to be the highest paid celebrity on this show
Love this guy.
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
Loved his character on bewitched, uncle author
Paul Lynde was one of the darn funniest comedians ever!!!
"His belly button was an outsy" XD
Is Billy Graham considered to be a good dresser?
“No, but he makes a terrific end table.”
I like the beaver face one(referring to the pig teeth question).
Even as a Christian I had a belly laugh at that one he was so sharp and quick witted what a shame we lost this treasure so early
His laugh at 19:12 is priceless!
Indeed! Priceless!
Yes, these are rare. I haven't seen many of these before in other clips. You have to wonder how many episodes are really out there....
I bet a large majority of the episodes do exist and most likely if any were destroyed it was the earlier episodes
8:36 If you know the back story of Bye Bye Birdie this zinger is quite savage. 8:04 The way he busted out laughing is hilarious.
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.
“Did women say they enjoy love making?”
“Who cares?”
Rest in powerful peace Paul Lynde⚘

One of my favorite zinger from Paul was can litter of puppies have different daddies and he said why that bitch ....lol

He was amazing
Paul Lynde should've been listed first on the Riviera sign
Paul Lynde was extremely funny and a legend granted, but they were both equally funny people. The problem in each installment is they kept stalling and wasting time valuable to contestants trying to win games and have time for secret square rounds in a 30 minute game. All the panelists are increasingly funny, I think the they should have 10 to 15 seconds to answer. Contestants 10 to 15 to AGREE or disagree.
