@kelseymathias3881 that’s incredible. He sounds like the best!! My dad is gonna drive me to see his grave and pay my respects, so I guess I will “sort of” meet him. Gone too soon for sure.
@@notveryiconic_username5854 Yes, I was really lucky to meet and talk with Paul at Hollywood Squares taping in 1971; in San Francisco when he had a radio interview before the premiere of The Paul Lynde Show, and at a taping of his show in Jan. '73. I also was in the audience of a Carol Burnett Show taping when Paul was a guest in' 71. I was sort of a shy teen then, but he was so kind and easy to talk to. Now that I'm approaching 70, I wish I had a way-back machine to travel back and meet him again! This time I would not be so shy. Best wishes on your trip to Paul's grave. I know his spirit will be there to greet you and your dad.
@@kelseymathias3881 that is absolutely amazing!! I’m so jealous!! I’m so glad to hear you have such amazing memories. I hope to make great memories within my lifetime as well. :))
He is my favorite comedian..I loved him on Bewitched, he was first a driving instructor, for Samantha, then they hired him, as Uncle Arthur!!!! I watch it all the time, and record it also!!! I miss him very much..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣.. ❤❤❤❤.. 💯💯💯....
Oh yes he played the Dr. on The Munsters!!! He was hilarious!!! He couldn't see without his glasses... Then when he put them on all hell broke loose!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣.... I still watch the Munsters... I wish they were my neighbors!!! 🦇🖤🦇🖤🦇🖤...
I’m 58 and Paul Lynde has always been my favorite comedian since I was a child. It’s become a tradition in my house to watch his Halloween Special every year.
Today is my birthday and every year on my birthday, my wife and I watch SEND ME NO FLOWERS. What a coincidence that he said it was his favorite because we're gonna watch it today. Thanks, Paul Lynde, you were always one of my very favorites.
Born and buried in Mt. Vernon , Ohio about 25 miles north of Columbus. My stepfather loved to bet the horses and had a reserved table in the patio area at Scioto Downs. We would often see Paul in the restaurant area of the horse track dining right above us. I would wave at him when he looked down and Paul would wave back with that classic cheesy smile.
I've never seen this interview. It was really fascinating to watch. I just love this man. He has given me so many moments of laughter, it was the phonetic quality of his voice, his impeccable timing, and the snarky persona he created that enabled him to say any line or simply laugh that would bring a room of people to their knees in laughter. Gone way too soon. Thank you for posting this.
What a great interview. This interviewer actually lets him talk. The Marilyn Monroe part of the interview is incredible. Unexpected. Great, great find. This is the longest, most insightful interview of the man I’ve ever heard. By far.
I wish the *Paul Lynde Show* had lasted longer than one season. It had the makings of a hilarious program on the same wavelength as *ALL in the Family* ; even better in my opinion.
The interview was incredible and a surprise. Paul was so busy making us laugh we never got to see the sensitive side of him in an interview. Who would have ever thought he idolized Oliver Hardy? Or that once upon a time he met Marilyn Monroe? Paul had alot to say and I was glad to hear it. The interviewer added a nice touch.
Loved this interview. It was quite clear you could see Paul was nervous, something he suffered from in all these interviews. It was the best interview of his that I have found. He was able to give insight that I never knew and it was very refreshing.
I remember being very very young and hearing Paul Lynde’s last name. I didn’t know how to spell it and I didn’t even really know what was being said, when his last name was pronounced. The closest I could get at the time was “Paul End.”
I wish he knew how much of an impact he made on people, despite never getting his “big break” He made the most out-of every opportunity & is truly an icon of the 70’s.
Thanks for keeping his memory alive. There must be hundreds of interviews like this to be discovered. Let’s hope someone finds the next “weather report”!
A little up in the sauce here, it seems. I’ve read that later on in his life, he found sobriety. What a great thing for him. “But for the grace of God go I…..”.
Even as drunk as he is here, Lynde is still as charming, as humble -- and as entertaining -- as ever. What a gift he had. A sharp wit, perfect timing and that snarky-yet-gentle delivery that so often included thinly veiled references to his homosexuality. Even jokes that would normally fall flat were often hilarious thanks to his comic instincts and self-deprecating quips. What a legend. He quit drinking in 1981 -- sadly, he would die just eight months later. Gone too soon but never forgotten.
Oh please, where does it appear as if Paul is drunk? What a disrespectful thing to say. Are you trying to be funny? If you are you are failing. Yes, Paul had a drinking problem but he was a professional and wouldn’t do an interview intoxicated. You ought to be ashamed of yourself!
@@moorlock2003If you have any experience with drunks, you can easily tell he's half in the bag. Not even a question about it. Not a knock on him, just a fact.
@@lescook9021 Paul was not intoxicated during this interview, not anymore than when he was performing. There was never an occasion when his drinking was a problem when performing. Paul Lynde was a professional all the way who loved and appreciated his legion of fans. He ran into problems on his leisure time, as alcohol turned him from Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde.
Such a pleasant and informative interview. The host is so respectful of and toward Paul, and Paul reciprocates beautifully. I can only imagine what I could have possibly said to avoid being just the next face in a long line, but I'm so bitterly sorry that I never had a chance to meet him, if even for a brief moment. Such a warm heart and a beautiful talent ... I miss you, Paul.
Wow. I for whatever reason have been on a mini Paul Lynde kick and this was revelatory as far as showing what a sweet, thoughtful man he was, even with his demons. He really 'got it' as far as why he was as famous as he was. TERRIFIC interview!
A couple people have commented that he appears to be intoxicated. If you listen closely you’ll hear him at the start refer to the host as Tom instead of Jim.
Funny, back in the early 80's I won the role of Albert in our H.S. presentation of 'Bye Bye Birdie'. I could act and sing, but Dick Van Dyke was such a prolific dancer in his hey day, our acting teacher & music choreographer really had to get inventive with me on that aspect of the performance.😊 We had alot of fun tho. We traveled to a couple of the elementary schools and performed a condensed version. 1 teacher really liked us visiting and had the kiddies to draw their fave characters or character 2 send to us as a 'thanks 4 coming' gift.Of course 'Rosie' & 'Conrad Birdie' got the most, but 1 little girl drew a picture of me. What a talented drawer, too. She did a such a nice drawing. She wrote something my fave was Albert. It really touched my heart. Never got a chance to say thanks. I think I still have it in my hs scrapbook someplace. Paul was right, when he said a performer has to perform like it was your 1st time all the time. Challenging.
AMAZING. I thought I will only watch 2 or 3 minutes of this, since I like Paul Lynde. He is unique, none like him. But what surprised me how real, how honest, how un-fake he is, unlike so many today. The depth and breadth he has, the well-read-ness of his. He is almost unassuming but his character betrays any simplicity one may want to attribute to him. And Quinton Melson is fantastic, Quentin doesn't want to steal the limelight and is asking some real good and go-deep questions. Entertainment back then was sooo much better then the horrifying shallowness we have today. This was 30 minutes well spent.
I used to think he just camped it up for the TV shows I really thought it was just an act if you saw a photo of him in serious mood you'd think he was a romantic leading man look at his eyes Thier beautiful
@stephenbabb3805, He has a reputation of being very nasty when drunk. He obviously gets loaded at a gay bar. Maybe he was nice to you because he wasn't that loaded or maybe he was trying to pick you up.
What a shame he seemed to have so many personal demons bc he really knew his business and even here he articulates the craft very well IMHO. Gone 2 soon. 🎉❤😊
Another one 🙄 Lynde may've had something to drink before hand but he wasn't drunk. He was a horrible drunk...vicious, mean & nasty. You would've seen that if he was drunk here.
As far as Monroe was concerned. I think she knew her own value as an artist, but receiving her just rewards as a woman in Hollywood was and continues to be another story.
I read Paul was a mean drunk and a grouch. He was grumpy at Hollywood Squares cuz they’d film quite a few episodes in a row. True?? I like Paul, everything he’s done I’ve enjoyed. I agree with him about Chaplin. I can’t stand Chaplin he was funny neither was Laurel and Hardy. Paul’s hilarious, Movies, Bewitched, Squares, etc…Most comedians I’ve read are shy and introverted. Unhappy people that’s why they wear the clown 🤡 Awesome interview
He was a tortured alcoholic but away from it, like so many alcoholics he was sensitive and kind. Reminds me of Bill Holden in that regard, both left us too soon.
Love Lynde but I think he's genuinely drunk here. I've seen a lot of interviews with him but he seems slightly off here. He's still Paul and love his honest answers to the questions but I think he's a little inebriated here.
Again, for those in the back of the class. Lynde may've had a drink or 2 to take the edge off...he hated being himself, but he wasn't drunk. No way, no how. He was a mean; horrible drunk. He was vicious to everyone, friends included, when he was drunk. Did you see any nastiness here? No? Then stfu! He wasn't drunk.
@@nightowl5475 Yes, he was a good guy...a gay man in a time that didn't accept different lifestyles like today. He did the best he could. He was just born too soon. He would have been happier and healthier if he lived today. Healthier if he didn't smoke...I have one of his "Kool" cigarettes on which he wrote "PL" in blue felt pen.
I’m only 17, but Paul Lynde is my absolute favorite star. I wish I got to meet him or see him live.
I met him, very nice man and appreciative of his fans!

At 6:15 Paul nails it for every performer entertainment or sport.
Strong statement that all artists should follow.
He was the best Hollywood Square of all.
Paul really was THE star of The Hollywood Squares.
I was told that all of his zingers were written for him. That’s hard for me to believe.
And as *"Uncle Arthur"* on Bewitched.
Paul was such an original talent. His characters and reactions had a way to make you laugh. Seemed like such a down to earth person as well. RIP
This is a wonderful interview with Paul and the fellow asking the questions was very good.
An incredible interview. it reminds me of how good Paul Lynde was and so intelligent.
Was and so?
Even still he was a total class act.
Love this interview. Loved Paul Lynde.
Rich Little and Paul Lynde were the greatest impressionists of their time. Why didn't any show bring them together for a comedy battle?
He is my favorite comedian..I loved him on Bewitched, he was first a driving instructor, for Samantha, then they hired him, as Uncle Arthur!!!! I watch it all the time, and record it also!!! I miss him very much..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣.. ❤❤❤❤.. 💯💯💯....
Yes, I ❤ve Uncle Arthur And Bewitched also. Yes. He was a driving instructor.❤
Also funny on The Munsters playing a Doctor without his glasses and feeling Herman's hand and saying to Herman leave your pet outside Lol
Oh yes how co

Great interview by Jim Whaley! He made Paul feel comfortable and we were able to hear a lot from him.
If he had only known he'd still be appreciated more than 40 years after his death.

Was the Paul Lynde show on ABC 😮😊

I wish he knew how much of an impact he made on people, despite never getting his “big break”
He made the most out-of every opportunity & is truly an icon of the 70’s.
i love seeing my friend Paul doing a rare interview. xxx thank u for posting this.
Thanks for keeping his memory alive. There must be hundreds of interviews like this to be discovered. Let’s hope someone finds the next “weather report”!
he is one of the humblest and supportive actors I have ever heard interviewed.
Cool interview..Cool to see n hear him out of Characters .👍
A little up in the sauce here, it seems. I’ve read that later on in his life, he found sobriety. What a great thing for him. “But for the grace of God go I…..”.

He was super talented. Miss his energy and work very much. One of the Greats.
god he is hammered here! but great to see an interview with him about the real him
He's had a few drinks before this interview.
Kinda how it was until he got sober.
A *few* drinks? He tied one on.
I'm glad that he had particular praise for Oliver Hardy, who was a master comedian.
What a nice treat!
RIP
Paul Lynde
(1926-1982)
Very nice man in person. I made him laugh. I loved Uncle Arthur.
If anyone who could do Liberace's life story on film Paul lynd could have played the part with flying colours
Paul was misunderstood but man he was so funny! Everyone he worked seem to just laugh so hard at anything he did.
Paul Lynden was the best. He is missed very much
I enjoyed this interview, very talented man but I’m afraid he didn’t have much joy in his life.
Gone way too soon..what a talent
A couple people have commented that he appears to be intoxicated.
If you listen closely you’ll hear him at the start refer to the host as Tom instead of Jim.
The host looks like Kevin Pollak doing an impression of Peter Falk
Loved him on Hollywood Squares
Paul played a Doctor in a show called Temperatures rising created by the same person who created Bewitched it was a sitcom
I liked temperatures rising had the guy from blazing saddles in it too

OP, Quentin Melson isn't the interviewer. It's from his collection this interview.
Millions of American housewives were IN LOVE with Paul.
They could never figure out why he never met a nice girl and settled down.
😂😢😮😅😊😊😊😊😊 I could almost hear you say that in the Paul Lynde tone....
Lol. He actually is fairly handsome but clearly gay
Him, Liberace, the list is endless.
It's a shame I never met a nice girl and settled down

Mr Lynde is the Best.
He was wild in THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT with Dom DeLuise.
Such a humble celebrity.
He was 55 years old when he passed away on January 10, 1982.
Incidentally I'm watching this on the 10th of January 2025. Eerie.
He sounds like he was a very kind person.
When sober.

Great interview .
He's wearing the exact same clothes as he did on carson 2 years earlier.
I was three years old at the time Paul Lynde passed away.
I talked with Paul Lynde in a popular gay bar in Columbus,Ohio. It was back in the 70's at the Kismit Lounge.
He was quite friendly and unpretentious.
@stephenbabb3805, He has a reputation of being very nasty when drunk. He obviously gets loaded at a gay bar. Maybe he was nice to you because he wasn't that loaded or maybe he was trying to pick you up.
Can't imagine meeting Marylin Monroe 1st x in Hollywood. Good insight about her.
Great actor and comedian, surprised how many martinis he had before this interview. It got him through it.
He did the Paul Lynde show 😮
What a shame he seemed to have so many personal demons bc he really knew his business and even here he articulates the craft very well IMHO. Gone 2 soon. 🎉❤😊
Crazy that neither mentioned Bewitched
Lynde is bombed in this interview
Who cares? It doesn’t diminish his genius, that much is clear.
He’s certainly not “bombed,” but he definitely took a shot or two and/or a puff before the show.
Another one 🙄 Lynde may've had something to drink before hand but he wasn't drunk. He was a horrible drunk...vicious, mean & nasty. You would've seen that if he was drunk here.
I thought he was very insightful and revealing not bombed
Nothing wrong with some Dutch courage for a television interview

He's crocked. 😊😊😅
Agree.

Wow 😯
😇Luv@Paul😎
I would not be surprised if he was hammered. But I am not so sure here.

It was Lola Albright
the movie had Lola Albright, so Paul was wrong...
Try telling HIM that (insert Paul Lynde laugh).
So he had a doggy named Harry McAfee.
Now Alfred Lunt

I do the same thing he does is name my animals after famous people

Did Liberace have a brother?
Yes, George
Funny, I was thinking he gave off a Liberace vibe myself.
I gotta get over to his grave in Ohio not far from my home. God Bless
People like Lynde and Charles Nelson Riley were what gays on television and movies looked like.
Pretty much.
But they never PLAYED gay.
