@@FloraWest that's not exactly the case. First of all what you do you mean by material? Everybody has said the typical response that you stated here but no one can say exactly what that means. Did the showrunners come up with the comedic response that Paul Lynn gave, or did he think of those on his own because he knew what the questions were going to be for him. What exactly was going on here with Paul lynn, and how do you exactly know that for sure? Is that what Paul Lynn said? Give us an interview where he confesses that i.e. the material was supplied to him to make him funny by the showrunners. And if he did just know the questions beforehand so he could come up with his own funny answers, that really doesn't make a difference. So again, which is it exactly? If it was the former in which the showrunners provided the funny answers well then Paul Lynn will go down as the biggest farce in comedic history.

@@Cjnw Just a figure of speech.
One of my favorite quotes from Paul - “Question, why do Hell’s Angels wear leather?” Paul’s answer “because chiffon wrinkles.”
Man I laughed my ass off. He went right up to the edge of what was allowed in the 70s. I can only imagine some of the stuff he said that never made it on air.
11:37 This came close.
Exactly!
Listen to how hard Buddy Hackett was laughing at some of those jokes. That is the true measure of his genius.
I read somewhere that Buddy was over-doing it, due to jealousy that Paul was getting called on more than him! ; )

Lying school is open on Tuesday nights 1st 30days are free. 😷

Paul famously didn't use any of the prewritten (by Bruce Villanch) jokes provided to the stars for the show. That was all him. What a legend.
i wonder if that's true...if so then he's a frickin genius.
That is totally 100 percent false. I saw an interview with Peter Marshall. He stated Paul was funny as hell but didn't have the confidence so he relied on pre written gags. Of course it is easier to believe the hype.
Bullshit! I heard all of his stupid observations were written out for him.

Yes, it was the 1970's and he had the luxury of NBC's wardrobe specialists to help coordinate. After all, on television, there are do's and don'ts so as not to clash with the camera. Certain patterns would cause moire patterns, weird colors and just perhaps be washed out.

I never truly appreciated his humor until I got a little older. There was no one like him. He was so quick with a quip and he was hilarious. He wouldn’t be able to get away with half of the stuff today.
Loved watching Hollywood Squares after school as a grade school kid. Paul Lynde was a legend! Loved his vocal talents in the animated "Charlotte's Web" film as well.
Templeton!
Oh yes, loved the mischievious Templeton the rat.
He was terrific as Uncle Arthur on Bewitched
@@briguymeister Uncle Arthur was actually cool. Loved that character.
"G'nite Charrrrlotte, yew ol' skeeeemar!"
I like how when Peter says "According to the book, 'An Encyclopedia of Fairies'...." the audience just starts giggling knowingly. 😁
It happened IMMEDIATELY for me LOL
Now that I'm old, I understood everything he said!
Paul Lynde was a genius ! The man came up with the funniest things right off the top of his head .
Most of the material was pre-written and the stars knew the questions ahead of time BUT his delivery is impeccable!
@@FloraWest that's not exactly the case. First of all what you do you mean by material? Everybody has said the typical response that you stated here but no one can say exactly what that means. Did the showrunners come up with the comedic response that Paul Lynn gave, or did he think of those on his own because he knew what the questions were going to be for him. What exactly was going on here with Paul lynn, and how do you exactly know that for sure? Is that what Paul Lynn said? Give us an interview where he confesses that i.e. the material was supplied to him to make him funny by the showrunners. And if he did just know the questions beforehand so he could come up with his own funny answers, that really doesn't make a difference. So again, which is it exactly? If it was the former in which the showrunners provided the funny answers well then Paul Lynn will go down as the biggest farce in comedic history.
@@grosbeak6130 Go to the 50 seconds part of this interview: kzhead.info/sun/kq5vaLx7ZH98n40/bejne.html
@@kenkellam3691 affirmative. That's the thing that people need to hear about Paul Lynn on Hollywood squares. Now for me now that it is settled I really have no interest in Paul Lynn on the show the way I used to. He was just a delivery man. There's still a bit of confusion because the host here says that they didn't know the questions beforehand and yet gave Paul Lynn his comedic material. How does that go together? That's incoherent. You must know the questions beforehand plus the comedic material that goes along with it.
@@grosbeak6130 They could know what their comedic line was without knowing the setup line in advance. What made it work was his impeccable delivery. It's like a singer who can't write songs but can sing them no no one's business, or a sitcom actor (which he was) who can brilliantly recite his lines.
“Love kills 20 minutes.” Truth is the best comedy
My greatest memory of Paul is dancing with him at a club in Hollywood. He was surrounded by admiring men and happy wearing a hard hat.i will love and cherish him forever. Thanks for the memories indeed.
He was my favorite comedian when I was a kid - he still cracks me up! I miss him.
R.I.P. Paul Lynde.6/13/1926-1/10/1982.He will be remembered but not forgotten.
Buddy Hackett’s laugh is priceless
🥰
Not as hilarious as Michael Landon's, IMO
O M
Buddy Hackett almost lost a lung. Hahaha
I think it was Marty Allen that i could pick out....middle bottom square
That quick wit! That delivery! No one else compares. Major contributor to the wild success of that show
OMG, the 70s are not a time to look back to for fashion, unless it's to remember what not to do. My favorite Paul Lynd quip ever on Hollywood Squares was, Peter, "What are two things you should never do in the bedroom??" Paul, "Point and laugh." 😂😂🤣
I actually REMEMBER him saying that one!!!! And I understood, even though I was a very sheltered pre-teen at the time.
He was the master at one-liners
Paul Lynde was my favorite celebrity. He was quick witted and funny as hell. He was my favorite character on Bewitched. Aside Elizabeth Montgomery who I had a major crush on.
Both singers, Steve Lawrence & Frankie (Joseph Lisbona) Randall recorded the "Bewitched" theme song for this Very popular ABC TV Series
It's been said he was unhappy he couldn't come out for real; his one liners were epic imo
Totally epic
That's probably true
I absolutely ADORED Paul Lynde. I agree, he made the show. Gone too soon. We Need the laughter!!
Some of the happiest memories of my childhood: watching the show with my mother when we were out of school on holidays or summer break. She got such absolute joy out of Paul just made me happy to be there when she was so happy.
So sorry that your mom was a single mother.
There will NEVER be another game show like the ole Hollywood Squares and Paul Lynde was KING!!
Queen
I literally laughed out loud through this entire video.
Same here. I laughed so hard I had to clean my 👓
same here! rolling tears! So hilarious!!
@@charleyyoho4693 as many have said you didn't get all of his jokes as a child, but after reaching puberty you realized how funny crazy he really was.
I had forgotten how truly entertaining Paul Lynde was. Just my opinion, but gone are the best of the best. Paul Lynde was among the greatest - I never stopped smiling through all the clips.
Paul Lynde was one of the funniest comedians of all time!!
Paul Lynde was the king of comedy. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Back when we didn't give a Shatner about flaming
I used to turn on the TV at 11:30 every day during summer holidays, just for Paul Lynde's answers. He never disappointed. Post-Apocalyptic Malone, you did good.
Aw shucks. Thanks. I’ve been a huge fan since childhood.
One I remember over 45 years later--Peter Marshall: According to President Gerald Ford, what is the glue that holds America together? Paul Lynde: What glue? We all get screwed together.
That’s a good one!
Thank you, Mr. Lynde, for making me laugh throughout my childhood years! Loved that Hollywood Squares because of you, Sir!
Couldn’t be more funny. Paul was a real superstar with pure talent.
One of the classiest and quick witted men in Hollywood. We will unfortunately never see his kind again.
WRONG!!! We have in Robin Williams
@@BBAKER22 hate to be the bearer of bad news but he’s also dead
Thanx, he was the only center square and the main reason I watched the show as a kid.
My dad and I watched this every night. Thanks for the memories 😊
Peter Marshall must have had a blast hosting Hollywood Squares for 15 years
For those of us who know, Paul’s wit and sarcasm were par none. I consider myself quick witted, but I can’t hold a candle to his genius. Keep laughing all!
Fastest wit ever for sure. And great comedic timing.
Aren’t many of the Hollywood Squares questions (the ones that are a setup for the witty replies) known by the celebrity beforehand?
@@MikeCee7 Of course they were.
Perhaps. But no need to be a Debbie Downer. It’s still funny. 👍
@@trailnameindie I’m not being a Debbie Downer, just that are so many here, are praising his fast & amazing wit. I give him credit for his comedic timing & delivery, but I can’t comment on his fast-thinking-wit “ability”. - That would be like, being amazed (& praise) of someone’s picking/knowing the lotto numbers ability (a day after the lotto numbers were announced), but the numbers drawn & the responds was on a tape delayed & shown later. (Yes, this would be criminal & illegal, but has happened, as viral prank from one family member to another, showing a previous weeks lotto drawing on a VCR/DVR, with the “victim” thinking it was a current lotto airing, & that they had just won the lottery (on a lotto ticket bought for a future lotto)
Waited through to hear the best one from my memories of this show- What strange thing do cows do before earthquakes? Paul: Start taking orders for milk shakes.
I was born 1 year after Paul passed and I remember enjoying his amazing sense of humor while watching re-runs of all of those old shows with my parents. But watching him on Hollywood Squares is undoubtedly the best memory I have of his incredible talents. A true example of A King Of The 1-Liners. Still extremely funny and relatable in 2022.
I always love hearing Buddy Hackett laugh at Paul.
Mr.paul was the greatest of all he is sadly missed. RIP
Here's another of his I remember: "Why do Hell's Angels wear leather?" "Because it wrinkles less than chiffon". He was a genius!
Paul Lynde and Madame :) The 2 biggest reasons to watch Hollywood Squares :)
