this is hilarious!!!!!!
Thanks for the morning laughs! I do remember that delightful show with those clever and entertaining celebrities!! Paul Lynde was my favorite. xoxo
If I am not mistaken, I think that the show has always been scripted, but in the old days they went off script more.
You really know how to make a grown man groan ...
I remember that show, a good one!
I've never heard of the show, but now I want to see the re-runs!
Imagine....good clean fun without having to bleep anything out! Oh, but that show was a good one. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I loved Paul Lynde. His wit was so quick.
I hope you post about your hairdressing/modeling stories. I would love to read them.
Ha! I loved that show but was too young at the time to catch some of the jokes! And who were those "stars" anyway? Did Paul Lynde ever do anything other than Hollywood Squares?
Very fun.
xo
This is hilarious, especially the Paul Lynde comments. I don't remember the show specifically, but now I'm going to go look it up. Why can't television be like this now? Whenever I turn it on, I see crapola and wonder why I turned it on. Thanks for a good laugh!
Pretty funny stuff! These people all had well-honed wits - and no laugh tracks!
Love the responses.
I love your blog. I have to figure out how to add you to my blogroll so I can visit frequently. I'll definitely be back! Yousei Hime
