From 2000, this is a short little home video diary of a dinner we had at Charles Nelson Reilly's home. In memorial to a great actor, teacher, director and writer.
ME TOO! SO SAD! I cried when I heard that CNR & Richard Dawson passed away (I only heard about these 2 on the news I didn't hear about anyone else... 😕😕 I guess my parents didn't think I should of known about that)
The young man seemed a bit standoffish and arrogant and disrespectful to Charles as though he didn’t want to be seen with him or be on the video, I could be wrong but it does look a bit suspicious. I would hope that he didn’t take Charles‘s money after his demise, or damage his Beautiful spirit in any way . Rest in peace Charles Nelson Reilly you were wonderful⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
He lived and he loved to make people laugh. Thank you for making Claymore Gregg a living, breathing human being. We miss you. The party truly goes on eternally...
"Tell who you are and when you're opening" Brilliantly funny and fun till the end. "I think I'm Elke Sommer" Thank you Chuck, we love and miss you, you're unforgettable. A tear.
I really enjoyed this a lot! Charles seemed like such a sweet man that would always make you laugh! That's the kinda people I like to be around! I watch a lot of his interviews here on RUclips cause he makes me laugh my ass off! laughter is a medicine! Woulda loved to met this man. Thanks again for sharing!
What a great guy, entertainer and comedian. I have a new found appreciation for Mr. Reilly. I grew up with the Match Game and always enjoyed his wit. Rest In Peace.
I love this! Oh how I would have loved to meet him. Maybe even be his friend! He was and still is the greatest actor, director and everything in between of all time!!! Just to channel that wit would be something. I liked how he was not showy, very down to earth. He cared about people, not malice or jealous, very loving to everyone. I miss him dearly.
@@kman24 He was on the spin off of H R Pufnstuff called 🎩 LIDSVILLE (H R was with Witchiepoo and his show he was an evil magician that flew around inside a big Hat 🎩
Great people....great time. I was too young to understand all the puns. But I understand them now. Love this guy always so witty and fun. Amazing to have all that great TV in 2020.
People that lived these years will never see the likes of comedians, stars etc....when we had talent, no nasty words to be funny, and people that could act with class......
About 1972 a couple buddies and I were driving around Hollowood just checking out the sights. At a red light an old car made in England not sure the name, is stopped next to our car. We first are looking at the unique car then all three of us look at the driver and at the same time yell "Look, its Charles Nelson Reilly. He was grinning back, waving back seemed happy we spotted him. As the light turn green, he gave one last wave, and off he went.
Hi Steve,How lucky you were to have known Charles Nelson Reilly.He was truly hysterical.I would have loved to have been his friend.The world is a sadder place without him.☺️May he Rest In Peace.Ryan
I really miss that man, you don't find comedians or talent like that now days. Always quick with with his lines, and a real gentleman. R I P Mr Reilly.
What a great up close and personal video of a truly talented, comedic and brilliant man. I loved seeing all of the memorabilia on his walls. I especially loved the Claymore Gregg sign from Ghost and Mrs Muir on his dining room wall. I miss his wit, quips and genius. Any idea who has taken possession of all of that great memorabilia? Thank you so much for sharing this little treasure.
It would be fascinating to run that video, now, through one of those AI clarification generators. You could almost make this HD which would be fascinating.
Charles was a family friend and I used to swim in the pool at his house when I was young.. The last time I saw him was when he did his one man show in North Hollywood "life of Reiley". I think of him often still..
@@bonusroundsteve It was wonderful.. I laughed and I cried.. Thank you for being a part of making that happen.. I will always remember Charles fondly as such a kind generous and lovely man..
I didnt recognise the name,but i recognised his voice.What a funny man.A very enjoyable hour of looking at him on various shows.I'm happy that i decided to surf the net.
He's my favorite gay actor I loved his role as Hunch (Rock-a-Doodle), Killer (All Dogs go to Heaven), and The Dirty Bubble in SpongeBob Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II. RIP Charles Nelson Reilly
@@Phoenix85006 Right, I was lucky enough to find the series on DVD last week at a local flea market, someone went for Sigmund and left Lidsville, I'm a huge fan of all the Krofft shows, but Lidsville isn't easy to find, so of course I jumped on it for $2.00 dollars.
Charles bought that house for $68,000-$70,000 around 1970. After Charles died, it was sold for $1.9 million, torn down, and a new ugly glass house built. 2341 Gloaming Way Beverly Hills. Charles, you are so missed!!
There was no one as funny and great as Charles. The best thing about him was his "huu huu" laugh. Sadly he didnt do it his last years. It was so funny. Charles you were the best!
I watch match game reruns all the time snd I miss many regulars. May they rest in heaven laughing together. Most recently, lost dear dear Betty White. CNR was a ham, so funny.
Sometimes I shed a tear watching Match Game reruns with Charles, Brett, Richard and Gene. I loved them all. May they rest in peace.
Me, too!
Same here
I watch Match Game reruns everyday, and at times the realization hits me, that they’re all gone. Miss them. Btw the new Matchgame is not at funny
ME TOO! SO SAD! I cried when I heard that CNR & Richard Dawson passed away (I only heard about these 2 on the news I didn't hear about anyone else... 😕😕 I guess my parents didn't think I should of known about that)
Me too. In fact I'm watching it right now.
One of the nicest and funniest guys there ever was in Hollywood rest in peace
Indeed.
Such a Talent !!!!! He lived to make people laugh......!!!! God Bless you, Charles........you are still loved......you are missed.
Paul Linde was in that category as well.
How endearing, thank you for welcoming us into your humble abode, you're beyond precious💐
I would have loved to have dinner with Charles just once. This video is such a kick, thanks for sharing.
I love that he still had the "Claymore Gregg Real Estate" sign from The Ghost & Mrs. Muir. Loved him on that show. RIP Charles.
Omg yes.Another great show with terrific actors who are gone except for the kids.
I wish I could have met and conversed w/Mr. CNR. What a talent!!!
The young man seemed a bit standoffish and arrogant
and disrespectful to Charles
as though he didn’t want to be seen with him
or be on the video,
I could be wrong
but it does look a bit suspicious.
I would hope that he didn’t take Charles‘s money after his demise,
or damage his Beautiful spirit in any way .
Rest in peace Charles Nelson Reilly you were wonderful⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Charles' wit and humour will never be forgotten. His memory still lives in the hearts of so many people.
That's lovely. We all miss Charles.

What funny and talented man , I loved him on Match Game and the Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
That had to have been a great dinner- wish I had been there! It looked so bizarre and so beautiful at the same time! Rest In Peace and Power Charles.
Charles is in a light all his own, beautiful man all heart.
What a treasure this is. I've always heard he was a really nice guy in person and this shows it. I really miss him.
I loved this man, never took himself seriously and could make everyone laugh, plus he was from the Bronx, like me
"Damn Yankees!" Da Bronx !
RIP Charles "Chuck" Nelson Reilly (1931-2007)
Funny stuff, miss Match Game, especially Match Game 78, miss them all.
Yes, a classic year for that show!
Why are people not like this anymore?
I would have loved to have been in y'all's company that evening! C.N.R. was such a blessing to us all!
Thank you for posting this..Charles Nelson Riley..you ARE missed😥
I was too young to appreciate Match Game during it's '70s run ... but I sure enjoy them on BUZZR. Brett, Charles, Gene .... timeless humor.
I so agree. We put them on almost every day for a little while, at least. They're so relaxed and naturally funny.
No matter what is going on in my life, CNR's laugh ALWAYS makes me laugh. Thank you for posting.
I loved him on the ghost and mrs muir. he made the show!
Oh goodness, this is amazing. CNR doing a German accent is everything I need in life. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece.
And his drag name is Helga!
I just adore Charles. Rip xo
As a child I loved watching Lidsville and him as the evil magician hoodoo and later in Matchgame. RIP you will be sorely missed.
Lidsville along with HR Puffenstuff! Whitchy Poo and the crew. Sid and Marty Croft!
I watched Charles on the Match Game for years. I grew to love the man through a silly game show. I miss Charles and may he rest in peace.
I always love Charles Nelson Reilly always rest in peace dear man♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
this is awesome..felt like I was ttere
He always seemed like a nice man. Loved watching him on Match Game in the 1970s. RIP.
What a sweet, witty and dear man. Thank you for sharing scenes from this adorable moment with the rest of us.
Thank you for this. Imagine having CNR, Paul Lynde and Rip Taylor over for dinner?? Legends!!
One time, Jimmy had 2 of them on hold at the same time!
Great to see him in his home and with friends. I enjoyed this very much and grew up watching Lidsville too. RIP he is missed!
thanks for sharing ! I enjoy his wit and love seeing him on match game on buzzer tv

Charles had an old white Mercedes with CNR for a license plate.
I LOVED THIS!! I miss him. Glad I can watch Match Game reruns and enjoy his sense of humor again.
Every time I see this, I laugh. What a tremendous talent.
I love this so much! Thank you for sharing it I loved watch Charles, Brett and Richard on Match games even now on Buzzer tv Miss them all
I LOVE CHARLES NELSON REILLY
RIP YOU WONDERFUL MAN
I should start hosting dinner parties like this. Doesn't seem to be done much nowadays.
This was so great to see. He was a great Entertainer...
He is one of my all time favorite television personalities. He was so incredibly talented and funny. He was BRILLIANT. I miss him very much!!
Humor, just seems so natural. for charlie. Inspires me to be a happier person. Thanks Charlie. We miss you still.
Joking about $6 a plate. I bet the food was delicious. Tells them to go away the people moved years ago. Such a fun host.
They knocked that house down....new monster on the market for $12.5MM
@@anthonym.cardali1875 Honestly, the Hollywood 'aesthetic' is contrary to having real civilization. Without history, there is no culture.

Loved Charles on "Match Game"-He was a great panelist.
We still watch those every day.
I always loved him the best
CNR was very much under-appreciated. Too bad. RIP, Charles
He was always funny. I just read a bit of your blog. Good on you for being a survivor all these years.

2:24 "Steven darling!...Don't Turn On Me! I Love You!....Six Dollars a couple" LOLOL HAHAHAHA
The opening is so funny “ go away from here, the people moved “😂
His timing is so hilarious!
What a fun dinner! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for posting this. If you have more Charles Nelson Reilly, Please post.
Thank you so much for sharing your video! CNR was a comic genius!
CNR..the best... and timeless... still funny to this day..
"Steven darling" is a bit of a hottie. Live it up Charles!
If Jesus wasn't God, Charles surely would be! I love that man! His humor helped me through my worst bout with depression. God bless him!
Bless his 💙 heart. Rest in Paradise Charles. 🌈🎈✌🙏
Still missed. ❤️

Such a sweet man.
A part of my childhood, I was a big fan of Lidsville! And Reilly was such a fun villain in that as the Magician Hoodoo, Rest in peace Charles!!
Yes, Lidsville! Why isn't that on TV now?! Charles was one of my favorites on Match Game along with Richard Dawson Joyce Bulifant and Marcia Wallace
