In real life he was anything but a riot. On this show, he was simply delivering the lines that had been written for him in advance. In real life he was a nasty old queen.
When I was a senior in high school in the spring of 2002, this is the very first 70s Hollywood Squares episode I watched on Game Show Network after my track & field meet
Love watching The Hollywood Sqaures and used to stay home from school to watch Paul Lynde make me laugh ! I was bullied in Jr High and high school grade school too and in High School used to stay home and watch the show and Ive always looked to humor to cope !
Watching any of these old episodes of Hollywood Squares its interesting to note that most of the prize sponsor companies are completely out of business today. PanAm, TWA, Kimball, Pontiac, S&H, Western Auto, Tappan and I was going to write World Book Encyclopedia but having checked its still in business (in its 100th year) selling encyclopedia sets and other educational books.
Man! Now I want some Snickers peanut brittle SO BAD! 🤪 Also, did you know that World Book is the only on-the-shelf encyclopedia that's still in print? 😎
@6:40 Amanda Blake of Gunsmoke fame, nice to see her before her untimely death from HIV/Aids, some said she dated Rock Hudson. But it brought a rapid awareness to the illness. RIP Ms Kitty, we'll always love you.
I was age 11 in 1972. I watched this new as a child and teen during 1970s, during summers, as there was no school. I always thought the emcee looked like Adam West. Harvey Korman would still be on Carol Burnett show.
I'm in the same boat. I'm not too crazy about modern television or celebrities, either. I wasn't born until 1982, but for some reason, I enjoy shows that were before my time.
Hello - I know this was posted a while ago, so you might not see this. My dad was on the Hollywood Squares in either 1971 or 1972. He passed this last November and my brother and I have been searching for his episode. He won the Secret Square who was Vicki Lawrence. I have combed through everything on RUclips, but cannot seem to find his episode. Do you know where I might be able to find it? We miss my dad terribly and this would mean the world to us. Thank you!
Where did you find this? I'm curious because my dad was a contestant in '73/'74 from what I can put together and I would love to track down this episode, but can't seem to locate it.
I was only 4 at the time, but i think he won a living room set: couch, chair, table... and I distinctly remember an electric organ. I think it was daytime because my family recalls my dad didn't look so great because they were out drinking the night before. :D
Imagine if they had done a version of this with all wiped rock stars: Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Hendrix, Keith Moon, Keith Richards...only problem is they'd've never been able to air it. 😀
Why was Hugh O'Brian not mentioned in the cast of "In Harm's Way" by Otto Preminger? He is seen in the opening scene as the lover on the beach with 'Beth Edington.'
She had her moments didn't she? An understated cutie pie, nice body, great smile, good wit, she deserved a lot better than the second rate career or third rate career that she was assigned to, she was just a little too offbeat looking I think and I will add a little too smart to suit the elitists I don't know maybe I'm getting too deep here but I agree she was beautiful. Or is beautiful, is she still living? What a horrible question to ask, I heard somebody say once it's so and so still alive and they said yeah but their career died a long time ago. she was kind of stereotyped as they as the butter brand idiot you know with a heart of gold and there wasn't that big of a call for that I think Meg Ryan cornered the market on that and you know where she today in the in a Redbox in some side dark corner of purgatory that nobody ever rents the crystal will be doing a guest appearances at car sales in about 5 years. With about 3 people waiting in line to get their autographs and they'll be Phil Collins in the car outside waiting to take them home Bruce Willis will be at home with food cooking on the stove for all of them.
'72 was the last year of active combat operations in 'Nam. Things were winding down. Plus who knows what his connections were? He also could've been in graduate school through a military program like my dad was in the Air Force. Guys like that generally never got thrown into combat.

Fantasy Hollywood Squares cast: Robin Williams, George Carlin, Paul Lynde, Jeff Ross, Joan Rivers, Greg Giraldo, Steve Martin, Kathy Griffin, Dave Chapelle
Paul Lynde cracks me up. Best zingers.
Classic game show that has stands the test of time,this one is no exception.
What a great show. Watched it every day. Paul lynde was the main reason why, he was a riot. Back when tv was great
In real life he was anything but a riot. On this show, he was simply delivering the lines that had been written for him in advance. In real life he was a nasty old queen.
P00p0ppppp00
Richard Dawson does an impersonation of Paul on Match Game well.Pat Harrington does a pretty good impression of him as well on Match Game 73.
Paul Lynde starred FLAMBOYANTLY on the "Hollyweird Queers". HA, HA
Harvey Korman imitating Paul Lynde's "it's either Arlene FRA-HAN-CIS..." joke is hilarious!
When I was a senior in high school in the spring of 2002, this is the very first 70s Hollywood Squares episode I watched on Game Show Network after my track & field meet
Lynde Rules!
Old TV shows are a hell of a lot better than today's so called shows.
People were so much in touch with history back then.
There wasn't as much of it then.
@@kentetalman9008 There were far fewer distractions and most people actually read books for pleasure, not for career advancement.
Thank you. Good old memories......
That French collared smoke colored striped shirt Paul Lynde had on was the fashion in the early seventies.
😂😂😂 I know! I was there. 😂😂😂
Loved this show as a kid teenager and young adult ! Love watching it on You Tube now !
I love how in this episode that the writers of the show included a question including one of Peter’s sons. I mean that is awesome!
I love it when Peter Marshall says "either across, [mumble, mumble] or diagonally".
He says, "Either across, up-and-down, or diagonally."
I'd forgotten how gorgeous Karen Valentine was/is!
josiemax Tight, I mean tight...there was a t.v. movie she was in sporting a bikini. Holy shit that was a treat.
Seriously. Holy Balls.
Drchainsaw77 Yep, I forgot the name of it.
I'd forgotten how gorgeous Paul Lynde was.
@@floydfletcher4313- That nasty, old queen, was nothing but that- A Nasty, Old, Queen!
I remember defrosting freezers. Thank God that's over.
Lori Miller oh yeah!
Thanks for the memories!!
Love watching The Hollywood Sqaures and used to stay home from school to watch Paul Lynde make me laugh ! I was bullied in Jr High and high school grade school too and in High School used to stay home and watch the show and Ive always looked to humor to cope !
I love paul lynde
Vicki McMillen, I too love him. And now I appreciate how handsome he was.
He ran in the opposite direction from women. ;-)
That doesn't mean women can't love him.
Want to chat?
In real life he was nothing but a nasty old queen!
Doc Severinsen was born on July 7, 1927… Today’s date is August 23, 2022… Doc Severinsen is 95 years young! 🙏😉🥰👍
Joey cracked me up: "Send the Lieutenant up here and send Amanda Blake down there".

And those crappy Datsun B2-10s. The car prizes were awful with Chevy Chevettes and Datsun hatchbacks.
IN the early 70's a Chevy Vega was given away in every show, possibly the worlds cheapest car, a piece of junk.
I learned to cook on a Tappan cookstove!
@@artistamisto Datsun became Nissan in the '80s.
@@artistamisto Datsun B210s we’re actually pretty good cars for the time. Much better than American subcompacts like the Chevy Vega, etc.
I was that Marine Lieutenant! What a memory! ~~Pastor Bob Fox
Did it all seem unreal 3 days later? How long did your Vega last?
Why does Peter Marshall call you Joe? And what did happen to the Vega? Did you get 50K miles out of it?
Thanks very high quality.
It sounds in character!!
Not the smartest thing I've ever said. Lesson: Don't try to be a comedian while on live TV!
@@757ChurchTrue. A Nixon lover could have held it against you. Did not hurt you though
Wow. The prizes they gave for the secret square were crazy good.
Hey I know right.
Mr O’Brian was a great actor,I remember him in ten little Indians
Man! Now I want some Snickers peanut brittle SO BAD! 🤪 Also, did you know that World Book is the only on-the-shelf encyclopedia that's still in print? 😎
Love watching this show on you tube
Are you the Real Patti Brooks that Sing after Dark Back in 1978?
@@adamcurry6443 No Im just me a fan of the show not the famous person !

What a stupid comment,, she developed aids from a transfusion when she had a surgery!
I looked look to humor to cope and Paul Lynde helped lift my moods and helped me laugh during my depression which he still does ! R I P Paul !
Why do you always tell your troubles on social media, On almost every show you come on here and moan about your troubles.
Karen Valentine. ❤️
I can't believe I'm the only one here during the COVID SUMMER.
No one on this show has known how to play tic-tac-toe. You start in the middle square. You respond in a corner square.
Karen Valentine....crush girl.
I was age 11 in 1972. I watched this new as a child and teen during 1970s, during summers, as there was no school. I always thought the emcee looked like Adam West. Harvey Korman would still be on Carol Burnett show.
Sitting here watching game shows from the year after I was born, because I can't stand modern television or celebrities.
2K16 Same here
Susan I'm a relic from the same year :D
Ditto!, These celebrities today have the personality of wallpaper paste. No wonder all these old shows are being re- booted.
VCR Time Machine i
I was 6 lol

Wally Cox. He was so funny.
Paul lynde was great doing the voice in The Perils of Penelope Pitstop

You should research the production company produced the show. They undoubtedly have it in their vaults
@@peternull5678 Thank you!
The organ was very big back then...i think it was something like religious influence...I learned to play.
Doc Severinson. Still here at 95.
Karen Valentine looked good enough to eat! wow!
Irish stew, with an abundance of potatoes, as opposed to Irish coffee which has an abundance of alcohol.
The female contestant is dressed like the old maid from the playing cards. lol.
Where did you find this? I'm curious because my dad was a contestant in '73/'74 from what I can put together and I would love to track down this episode, but can't seem to locate it.
What Prizes did He Won, And Was it Daytime or Nighttime?
I was only 4 at the time, but i think he won a living room set: couch, chair, table... and I distinctly remember an electric organ. I think it was daytime because my family recalls my dad didn't look so great because they were out drinking the night before. :D
I hope you find the episode with your dad. That would be a great family memory to have tucked away.
Karen Valentine was a very attractive woman in Squares and Room 222.
The best TV TIME
Hugh O'Brien....Damn..look'n GOOD....now there's a secret square to win.....
He was huge.
@@rancesen9 That's what I've heard.
The San Francisco treat...hmmm

Haha true.

Man does Karen Valentine look good.

Why was Hugh O'Brian not mentioned in the cast of "In Harm's Way" by Otto Preminger? He is seen in the opening scene as the lover on the beach with 'Beth Edington.'
Paul Lynde is the gay version of a Jack Nicholson.
Lt Joe Fox is a hottie.
THESE CONTESTANTS ARE BOTH EXCELLENT..THEY BOTH WON A SECRET SQUARE, SHE COULD HAVE WON 2, THEY ARE TIED IN MONEY, SO FAR..
Richard Hamblen, Gail found both Secret Squares, but only won one. The Lieutenant won the car.
The lieutenant got lucky on that first game - what was he thinking not going to Wally Cox to block?
Probably jitters.
The Lieutenant was handsome
I feel sorry when a star isn't picked for the entire episode -
Karen valentine was hot I had a crush on her for a long time
Karen Valentine !! Paul Lynde
Joey Bishop was very funny
Nobody picked Sandra Dee!
16:21 🤣🤣
I never knew that adults tend to snore more frequently as the other they get
It’s because of sleep apnea. Older people are more prone to it and they didn’t know about it in 1972.
do u get the Vega if u lose ....seems correct
No...its the Vega by Chevrolet...the car that does everything well...!
I think the "stars' were given their questions ahead of time so they could work on their "ad libs'
That is clearly stated on every show.
She had her moments didn't she? An understated cutie pie, nice body, great smile, good wit, she deserved a lot better than the second rate career or third rate career that she was assigned to, she was just a little too offbeat looking I think and I will add a little too smart to suit the elitists I don't know maybe I'm getting too deep here but I agree she was beautiful. Or is beautiful, is she still living? What a horrible question to ask, I heard somebody say once it's so and so still alive and they said yeah but their career died a long time ago. she was kind of stereotyped as they as the butter brand idiot you know with a heart of gold and there wasn't that big of a call for that I think Meg Ryan cornered the market on that and you know where she today in the in a Redbox in some side dark corner of purgatory that nobody ever rents the crystal will be doing a guest appearances at car sales in about 5 years.

wow that LT looked young! 72? why wasn't he in Vietnam??
'72 was the last year of active combat operations in 'Nam. Things were winding down. Plus who knows what his connections were? He also could've been in graduate school through a military program like my dad was in the Air Force. Guys like that generally never got thrown into combat.

Seeing the cast on this show explains why they prominently used Whoopi Goldberg for the 1999 edition, because they felt the older seasons were too "white."
No, they used her because she's smart and funny.
The woman contestant looks like a. Man with a blond wig on. Anyone one else think the same thing?
It looks like a wig I dont remember anybody doing their hair that way in the 70s i.didnt i.think my hair was parted in the middle and long
