Paul Lynde was/is a comedy icon for all people, regardless of sexual orientation. He was simply funny and likable and I wish he was still around to know how much he was truly loved by his fans.
Paul Lynde was one of the best comedic actors ever produced by this country. The quite deliberate phonetic quality of his voice matched up with his impeccable timing were second to none. To this day, anyone hearing someone doing a Paul Lynde impression knows exactly who they're doing .One of a kind-gone far too soon-and most likely flooring them in Heaven. A great comic genius.
Don't be fooled, he was lovely but not witty or smart at all, even he joked about that. All those zingers on Hollywood Squares were written by Jay Reddick for Paul specifically. He was not a comic genius or any other genius.
🤗 I'm glad to see people still love to watch Paul Lynde videos as much as I love watching them & sharing the ones that aren't copyright infringement material. About a week ago I uploaded a bit where there was 2 Paul Lyndes debating with each other on Donny and Marie's show & this guy on TH-cam with the channel name David's Osmonds Videos" got belligerent with me report me for stealing his whole video. Even though I only took a 4 Minute clip from his video & thanked him for posting the full original video. IDK if it's illegal to use 4 min segment from a video. But he said he wanted to report me for stealing his whole video.
Imagine 1980 is in the future. You’re in front of your oaken, behemoth, 100-pound television watching the local news; the headlines are as much of a drag as always…and Paul Lynde shows up doing the local weather, turning 69°F in Seattle into a punchline. That, my friends, is great TV!
This was a comic like no other. Never be another like him. I recall as a child, my mother and Hollywood Squares. He was the reason people tuned in. Missed him dearly since his departure. Thanks Paul.
@@lloydkline7245 Indeed not; a decade or so before this Jackson Mississippi had a perpetually drunk weatherman named Bob Neblett. He would often stumble his words, and my grandad used to brag about winning bets with his buddies based on when the next time would come that Neblett would have to deal with name of the small Mississippi city of Kosciusko, which Neblett could not pronounce, even though he ALWAYS tried, often repeatedly. I remember WJTV would fire him, and the public response was so strong and negative they’d always hire him back. He was the weatherman at Mississippi’s oldest TV station until he retired, some time in the mid to late 1970s I think.
My mom told me she cried her eyes out when he died. I searched him to see who he was and I’m positive now if I had watched him growing up like my mother, I would have cried too when he past.
Discreet funerary plan … just as he was discreet about his “preferefereferefer-ences” in Hollywood. Which was once something to be admired. Discretion. He was a true comic talent. I find it kind of sweet that he chose to be interred next to his parents in Ohio and not in some glitzy LA cemetery. To me, that’s a glimmer of class.
@@jonathankieranwriter same!I wish people in the TV/Movie industry would have as much class as people back in the 1920s-1979. (Back in 1980 was when the movie and TV standards changed to be like it is today and it makes me very sad to see what the world is coming to these days)
@PaulLynde1926 Gary Crosby wrote a book on how abusive his father was. Errol Flynn died a drunk who went through hundreds of women. Hollywood stars just hid a lot better back then and are no different than today.
I can forgive Paul Lynde for this. He's really trying to do a good job. I love it when comedians don't try to be funny, but they wind up being funny anyway based on what's going on around them.
Jennifer Blome co-anchored Today in St. Louis for 34 years at KSDK. Today (3/28/14) was her final show before retirement. She will be working for the Animal Protective Association.
I saw Paul Lynde in the play "The Impossible Years" in 1978, when I was in the U.S. Navy in Norfolk, Va. A man who died before his time, and who could have stolen anyshow with his comedic style punchlines.
He is my favorite comedian!!! Love him, in Bewitched, Hollywood Squares!!!! He was a riot!!! Everyone picked him, on Hollywood Square's, he is very smart!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍....
I always loved Paul Lynd. His humor was original and so much fun. It was great to see this clip and be able to enjoy him again! Thanks for sharing this.
i read that every summer paul lynde went back to his home town region to do summer stock theater in ohio. i love at the 25 second mark "uh oh .. it looks like trouble!". paul was such a classic ... like no one else.
a His family donated his Ford Thunderbird to the Knox County Historical Society in Mount Vernon, Ohio, he would frequently drive back to his hometown in that car.
OMG!!! Paul Lynde was one of a kind and way before his time......I was so little back when he was on Hollywood Squares but I watched it anyway(although I didn't 'get' the humor) I got it later and it was great! I loved him so much!! Still miss this wonderful man!!!
I remember watching Paul Lynde doing the weather on Channel 13 in Toledo. This really brings back a lot of memories, and it's so cool to see it in color. While the family watched CH-7 out of Detroit on the large RCA XL-100 downstairs, I would always watch WSPD TV on my large black & white portable in my bedroom. I had the biggest crush on Jennifer Blome back then.
When he said he just came from Columbus, it was probably related to the Kenley Players. He headlined nine Kenley Players productions, more than any other headliner. I went to several Kenley Players productions and they were usually hilarious. So sad he only made it to age 55, apparently dying of a heart attack.
The newscaster on TV13 in Toledo (Randy) always seemed like he had a stick up his arse, but it took Paul Lynde to finally get the guy to break character. Jennifer Blome lost it right off the top. Too bad old Gordon Ward or Frank Venner weren't still on the station at this point in time.
Don't ya wish he was around today? My God, I wish I'd been a grown up when he was on TV! I always knew he was funny, but now that I GET him, he's even better! I'm 47 now, so I was a kid and in my early teens when he was in his prime.
I'm from Toledo. A few years before he gave this weather forecast he was arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct at a gay bar, something that was considered very scandalous at that time. He was known for being a mean drunk even then. From what I've learned about him since his death, he was a very troubled, self-conflicted man full of disappointment. That being said, no one could make me break out in a belly laugh like he could. I saddens me that he had come to grips with his alcoholism only to die from a heart attack in his 50s.
Paul was an Ohio native and would do summer-stock theatrical productions there when HOLLYWOOD SQUARES was on hiatus. Very popular in the Midwest. He was also a world-class alcoholic, as that clip might also indicate.
As someone who watched Paul Lynde every day on Hollywood Squares during my lunch hour while going to grammar school, I've always loved Paul Lynde. One of a kind, and just so naturally funny as he is here. "Happy 69!" He looks great in this clip and showing more even more gay swagger than usual.
I remember WSPD, it was an NBC station, they later changed it to WTVG and are now with ABC. It looks like it may have been around 1979 because of the 13 logo that was in the monitor. I don't remember seeing the same logo back in 1978, (That blizzard of 1978 was pretty nasty) everyone was snowed in !!!
I'm a Brit but know him from Bewitched which I watched repeats of in the 70s. I think he was also the voice of the Hooded Claw in the Penelope Pitstop cartoon? Ha ha but very funny. I guess he was the US version of our Kenneth Williams, same personal hang ups etc but loved by the public.
I love how he mentions it's sunny in Georgia and sweeps his hand all across North Carolina. I'm from Savannah, but so what! I crack up every time I see Uncle Arthur! 🤪
Or Sylvester Sneakley/The Hooded Claw, or Mildew Wolf (though John Stephenson did a pretty spot-on imitation when he stepped in for Lynde on LAFF-A-LYMPICS and, later, KWICKY KOALA).
Paul Lynde was a very funny man, yes he was gay, yes he had problems with drugs and alcohol but, he was and will always be one of a kind in the enterainment world and he is truly missed. I remember it was always a treat to watch hollywood squares when Lynde was on. He was such a riot! Btw the Roger character on American Dad was a tribute to Lynde by Seth Macfarlane who was also a big fan of Paul Lynde.
Paul Lynde was/is a comedy icon for all people, regardless of sexual orientation. He was simply funny and likable and I wish he was still around to know how much he was truly loved by his fans.
Yep. Spot on.
☺️😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🕯️🌹🖖💪🤳🍀💢❤️
Agreed. I'm sure he'd be thrilled and humbled to know that his work and art will live on through ages by way of the miracle of TH-cam.
Dam right & he is still the best no matter what people say

To this day, anyone hearing someone doing a Paul Lynde impression knows exactly who they're doing .One of a kind-gone far too soon-and most likely flooring them in Heaven. A great comic genius.
Agreed.
Can't agree more! His voice and facial expressions set me off without the jokes. My fav comedian ever👍😂🤣
Don't be fooled, he was lovely but not witty or smart at all, even he joked about that. All those zingers on Hollywood Squares were written by Jay Reddick for Paul specifically. He was not a comic genius or any other genius.

The funniest guy on television throughout the 1970's without a doubt.
This was a comic like no other. Never be another like him. I recall as a child, my mother and Hollywood Squares. He was the reason people tuned in. Missed him dearly since his departure. Thanks Paul.
Edward Taylor my hero paul lynde love Hollywood squares career, Japanese fast food, minute rice
I feel the same way. Paul Lynde absolutely WAS the reason to watch Hollywood Squares. His whole being was hilarious!!
Agree. 👍✌💛🌈
"Happy 69", that was freekin awsome!
Paul Lynde was no meteorologist, but boy would people want to tune in to watch this every night! :-)
Michael Barnhart in the old day of tv weather people did not have to be meteorologists love paul lynde my hero

Who gets wished a "Happy 69" by their uncle on live TV??
Paul Lynde's niece, that's who. 😂
I don't think it was possible for Paul Lynde to not be funny. Genius!
Paul Lynde could make reading garment cleaning instructions a riot!! 😂😂😂
"Cold water wash only...oh screw it!"
A great off-the-cuff example of how Paul Lynde could wrest uproarious laughter from the trivial and mundane.
This is absolutely hysterical! Even the folks behind the camera were laughing at Paul's antics.
This is so much like Paul was in person...such a great video.
Roger from American Dad.. I'm sure that is where Seth got the inspiration from
yes. he's mentioned that several times.
@@chieftp With my vocal cords and personality tied behind my back, I can out voice Seth.
Not from here, but from Lynde, yes.
Son of a billy goat! I kept wondering, "Why does Roger sound so familiar?"
The incomparable Paul Lynde.
'Boater's forecast: Oh, screw 'em.' Love Paul!
This guy was one of the funniest comics ever. And he passed when I was just a kid, but I discovered his work later on and was rolling on the floor. :)
My mom told me she cried her eyes out when he died. I searched him to see who he was and I’m positive now if I had watched him growing up like my mother, I would have cried too when he past.
An ad-lib genius and truly naturally funny man! RIP, Mr. Lynde.
A true national treasure ❤
Happy 69 in Seattle!
we should celebrate!! :D
Hysterical. This guy was awesome.
He was an Ohio boy. Buried in Amity Cemetery in Ohio next to his parents. Just a very simple grave stone.
Yeah & he still is funnier than anything so far on tv

Amazing. I was a senior in High School in Toledo, in 1978 when this was on the air. I remember all of them.

Donald Casalone very funny. Her laugh is contagious. I bet she has soon great stories.
@@chocloditelensman Jennifer is now co-hosting a daytime talk show on KTRS-AM with her former co-anchor Art Holliday.
Those newscasters must have had a blast that day.
Just so farking funny. Love Paul from Bewitched and voice work on the 60-70’s cartoons. So tragic he passed at 55! My age now! Miss him.
So sad that I came to know him when he was gone.
But I am glad that I knew him.
RIP.
Same here in the 🇬🇧 my friend 👍
"A hurricane is blowing New Orleans; I gotta get down there!"
Paul Lynde doing some BRILLIANT improvisation
''Happy 69!" Lynde camping it up! :)
Imagine what this would’ve been like with all the modern tech in weather! 😂
I saw Paul Lynde in the play "The Impossible Years" in 1978, when I was in the U.S. Navy in Norfolk, Va. A man who died before his time, and who could have stolen anyshow with his comedic style punchlines.
This is CLASSIC! Thank you VERY MUCH for sharing it here.
He is my favorite comedian!!! Love him, in Bewitched, Hollywood Squares!!!! He was a riot!!! Everyone picked him, on Hollywood Square's, he is very smart!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍....
"Boater's Forecast - oh, Screw 'em" - I nearly lost it :P
I just loved him....R.I.P Paul!
He's doing a better job than I would have done. 😂I enjoyed watching.
The booze killed him.
I always loved Paul Lynd. His humor was original and so much fun. It was great to see this clip and be able to enjoy him again! Thanks for sharing this.
(4:46) "Boater's Forecast - oh, screw 'em!"
The line of the show right there :)
Poor camera guy, I’d have fallen over

Another great artist/entertainer from (born Mount Vernon) Ohio! R.I.P. Paul ~ Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
At 3:15 -- "It looks like I'm going to be a fortune teller." LOL
he was one of kind! there won't be another! R.I.P. paul lynde! you're the best!!!
69 i have a niece who live up there happy69 classic.
"Oh, screw em!" lol
4:46 “Boaters forecast. Oh, screw ‘em!”
That brought the house down!!!!!
I love how he mentioned Sault Ste. Marie 😊
This is just too funny. Dear Paul, you are missed. We need your humour now. The satellite map: "It looks like trouble." Just fun. :^)
Paul Lynde is a gem.
Ah, Paul Lynde! I remember him only from some cartoons. Has anybody else seen The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, or It's the Wolf?
I remember Penelope
He was also Uncle Arthur on Bewitched, Dr. Dudley on The Munsters and for a long time known as "The center square" on the Hollywood Squares.
He made me roar with laughter on “Hollywood Squares.” The content and timing of his delivery were impeccable. R.I.P., Paul. You are missed. ❤
Weather was at it funniest today, Paul we will miss you.
When he said he just came from Columbus, it was probably related to the Kenley Players. He headlined nine Kenley Players productions, more than any other headliner. I went to several Kenley Players productions and they were usually hilarious. So sad he only made it to age 55, apparently dying of a heart attack.
Dr. TJ His hometown of Mount Vernon is about a 40 minute drive northeast of Columbus, so it totally checks out.
I am born and raised in Toledo, Ohio and I remember that "forecast" from him.. lol he was always hilarious!
Josh Stewart love Paul lynde also my hero,Japanese fast food, minute rice
Yeah he was from mount Vernon so he was really familiar with Toledo. What a shame. He was so naturally funny. That laugh !!
The newscaster on TV13 in Toledo (Randy) always seemed like he had a stick up his arse, but it took Paul Lynde to finally get the guy to break character. Jennifer Blome lost it right off the top. Too bad old Gordon Ward or Frank Venner weren't still on the station at this point in time.
I'm reading his book right now. He was THE MAN!
I think Paul Lynde was GREAT!!! He ALWAYS made me laugh!!!
If Paul lynde was alive today working for the weather channel, i'd be watching.anybody else?.
LMAO. 'Happy sixt-niiiiinnne!'
U.N. Owen I wonder if they came up with the new meaning of 69 back then
I've watched this a few times and I laugh just as hard every time!
Game show host: Fill in the sentence "I love it when ". Paul Lynde: "my baby does cartwheels."
Uncle Arthur with Rand Price the anchor now on WCVB in Boston. Many thanks!
Don't ya wish he was around today? My God, I wish I'd been a grown up when he was on TV! I always knew he was funny, but now that I GET him, he's even better! I'm 47 now, so I was a kid and in my early teens when he was in his prime.
Lynde was an absolute treasure!
"Boaters Forecast, Oh! screw them!" lol!
Awesome. Paul Lynde was one in a million.
OMG this is hysterical!
Paul was the most loved comedian especially by me, He is so natural here and who cares if he was gay, loved him any way
Great clip of a super guy ! So funny... One of a kind. Thanks !

Jennifer laughing at Paul was so cute!
Best episode of Anchor Man ever
How cool would it have been to catch this live when it was broadcast?!
funny as Hell - the guy just didn't care and having a great time!
Paul was an Ohio native and would do summer-stock theatrical productions there when HOLLYWOOD SQUARES was on hiatus. Very popular in the Midwest.
He was also a world-class alcoholic, as that clip might also indicate.
This is so extraordinary I'm so glad I got this recommendation. Thanks for posting.
I love this video very much!

"Oh screw em" - hilarious!
As much as I love Brick, I think Paul would have been a great member of the Anchorman news team
That was very funny!! Boaters forecast - screw em!!
Granny loved this hillbilly huckster
R I P Paul & Granny 😭
I love how he mentions it's sunny in Georgia and sweeps his hand all across North Carolina. I'm from Savannah, but so what! I crack up every time I see Uncle Arthur! 🤪
Whenever I watch a clip of Paul Lynde I hear the voice of Templeton from "Charlotte's Web" lol. Funny dude!
Or Sylvester Sneakley/The Hooded Claw, or Mildew Wolf (though John Stephenson did a pretty spot-on imitation when he stepped in for Lynde on LAFF-A-LYMPICS and, later, KWICKY KOALA).
Thats because it was him, genius.
I love this !!! Bless Paul ; he did so great but he was so nervous ⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️♥️♥️ Terrific 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗⭐️♥️♥️♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️
Do NOT take these down, this was classic and I was cracking up.

I have never seen such an interesting weather report. Face it, the man was FUNNY! Love him as Uncle Arthur on Bewitched.
