Paul lynde was an absolute comedian his one liners are hilarious and makes you laugh
Paul Lynde was a great comedian of all time !
He was the one that made Hollywood Squares so popular. My brother and I were really impressed at not only how freakingly halarious but also every show he was right 95% to 100%. If they ever broke it down to which celebs got the most right, you'd see his name in the top two spots at least. I loved whatever he did. I especially loved him when he was playing Samantha's uncle in Bewitch.
He was Hollywood Squares, without him the show would of been a BOMB!
Back in the day, Paul Lynde was called "the true wit of Hollywood." He was.
Poor kaye Ballard died recently
What a wonderful piece she did on
Paul Lynde he was one of many
Gay role models for me
Paul Lynde was special like kaye
He left everyone laughing
Rip Ksye Ballard
Rip Paul Lynde
Quick minded. He was a joy and I never even thought of his sexuality. Just made me laugh. RIP Paul.
Paul Lind was so funny ,witty, and fast on his feet 🤣 😀
I'd love to see the whole documentary!
I am straight, but I just love Paul Lynde! ANYTHING he said and did was absolutely hilarious. R.I.P. Paul. You were truly one of kind.
Paul Lynde was a very funny man.Loved him as Uncle Arthur on Bewitched.Sorry he seemed to have a tough life.RIP Paul so many years later.
Yes me too! I love him! He should have been my uncle! 🤣
Paul Lynde, I believe, was more talented than he himself even realized.
I remember: "Paul, finish this famous quote by Shelley Winters. I'll have another ....." SIDE OF BEEF
"Point and laugh."--LOL
It must have been so strange to be Paul Lynde. On the one hand incredibly successful--but in such a limited way because of that hilariously snarky persona. (He'd longed for respect as a serious actor.) On the one hand audiences "knew" the truth about him--and yet he could never ever publicly confirm his gayness or risk losing everything in an era where being homosexual was still seen by the majority of Americans as a deviant way of being. A great talent and a sad life.
I adored him when i was a adolescent and then a teenager.It was a very sad thing to me when he died.And i devour everything that that pops up to see of him.
Paul had that sharp, snarky, clever sense of humor.
He was a big influence on Alan Suess of Laugh-In.
And I think Alice Ghostly was a big influence on Paul.
He was hilarious on Hollywood Squares and Bewitched.
How about the father from Bye Bye Birdie?
Not super funny but it was silly.
YOU DARE DEFY YOUR MOTHER!?
I DEMAND RESPECT AROUND HERE! RESPECT!
I respect you daddy....
I don't want your resp-eeeeeect. 🤣
Paul Lynde was scripted, he did not ad lib and all of his famous jokes are from other writers. He actually did not have quick WIT - what he had was razor sharp delivery. He wrote several humorous piece (For example "Trouble In The Tulip Bed") but he wasn't an off-the-cuff kind of comedian in the Jonathan Winters vein.. Search some of his interviews (such as Johnny Carson) and is inability to be that instant thought, instant joke is very obvious.
I felt the same way too, but his sexuality was never a big issue with me, I was just a fan like you, plus I had a little crush on him as a kid.
Same
Paul Lynde was hilarious. RIP Paul, RIP Kaye. We won't see their kind of talent again.
2:17 - along with Paul, Alice, and Eartha, in the bottom center - Robert Clary!
... so, you remember 'New Faces' as well?
The late great inspiration for Roger Smith the American Dad alien.
Oh, gosh, kaye is gorgeous in this clip!
''gee, i dont know that was the year I was busy having the twins. I didnt know what was going on !''
THATS exactly what my mother said...she had twins twice and said she was so busy she didnt know what was going on...she looked forward to night time so she could sleep.''
Twins twice? Your mom's been busy alright 🤣🤣🤣
@@tolloromassi99 actually she had 3 sets of twins. My brother was the 3 rd set and last of the 8 children. He was a twin but his twin died. My mother miscarried at 3 mths. The doctors said it was unusual then, 57 yrs ago, fr one twin to die and one to live. My parents were happy. They had their only son after 7 girls
I am 68 and I KneW Paul was Gay...........SO WHAT
Love Paul forever & always! No matter what happened in his life
was taken to his bday once in 78, he was a mean drunk,
but lord he was funny on tv.
Yeah, Johnny Carson was too. It's a terrible drug. Paul would host parties and snap at his guests for making messes, not using coasters, etc. -- petty stuff.
@@StephenDoty84 Hey!! All alcohol does (99% of the time) is lower your inhibitions so you say what is really on your mind. Apparently Paul was a fat kid, and that would make most people bitter, then add society's scorn for being gay...I don't blame him for being mean at times. Also, to YOU (and me) not using a coaster is no big thing, but it obviously meant, to Paul, that people were disrespecting his home, which he had been kind enough to invite them into
@@lazyhomebody1356 OK, thanks, Dr. Phil. ;)
@@StephenDoty84 lol
I MISS Paul Lynde
That's MRS. Paul Lynde, please!
Paul had mansion’s and money, his own great tv show, owned Hollywood squares. He still did great.
🙄
Yeah I agree
Paul was great on squares and Bewitched but on his sitcom the sarcasm is just to much in a half hour format.
Kaye is not posting new content. She passed away in 2019. "During the 1961-1963 television seasons, Ballard was a regular on , as part of the Kraft Music Hall Players, along with Don Adams, Paul Lynde and Sandy Stewart. In 1962, she released the LP , on which she played Lucy van Pelt from the comic strip namesake of the album (with Arthur Siegel playing Charlie Brown), and dramatizing a series of vignettes drawn from the strip's archive. In 1964, she had a guest role on , playing a teacher for would-be models. From 1967 to 1969, she co-starred as Kaye Buell, a woman whose son marries her next door neighbor's daughter, in the sitcom , with Eve Arden playing her neighbor. From 1970 to 1972, she appeared as a regular on , playing restaurant owner Angie Pallucci. She made appearances on The Match Game."
Funny guy
I heard this story back in the 90's.
Paul was being interviewed and the interviewer asked "So, why is it you never settled down and had kids?"
Paul's response was "Have you been living in a cave?"
@queercat Yes that's Eartha Kitt. She sang MONOTONOUS. It was the show that made her a star .
I would watch him in anything. I just love Paul Lynde...ps: I know he has passed, I still love Paul Lynde and would have loved to meet him. Most of my man friends are gay.
you're still the best Kaye
Amen to that !!
@bcollins2007 I don't know, but that is Eartha Kitt below him!
I'd have to disagree with Kaye Ballard. Part of "the charm", if you will, was he was out there in plain sight, campy, sarcastic, and a bit irreverent but you never got confirmation. But, did you really need it?
I know I knew! And I was nine
Paul Lynde was a genius and handsome too.
Paul's classic head toggle :)
He was so risqué for his time.
Kaye and my mother were schoolmates. Paul was such a comedic talent that I never considered his preferences.
Wow! do tell please?
Oh, I bet you can tell many great stories of Kaye. She strikes me as a wonderful woman--and, of course, she's a brilliant talent.
Oh Please.. that's nothing.. MY mother was Kaye's hairdresser for YEARS in Palm Springs. She and Kaye used to go to lunch together all the time and order huge meals, and then give them away to the poor!
Loved him in bewitched. Uncle Arthur.😍
He was a great IRS agent in "I dream of Jenni" too. Jenni blinked Tony new cars and Paul wanted to know where the money came from.
Is that Frank Langella playing the bartender?
>>Is that Frank Langella playing the bartender?
Paul lynde was a vicious queen plain and simple. Todd Chrisley is just like him.
cherry edwards Not vicious. Just extremely funny.
Perez Hilton type?
I did not care if he was gay....I loved him Paul was the best he always made me laugh
Not me. I'm never watching his stuff again now.
Psych!
So happy You're still with us,Kaye! A True Icon!
Yeah, she passed in 2019.
Boy Kay sure does look good.

Once he was Harry McAfee and did "Harry McAfee" better than anyone else could possibly dream of doing the character, all he was asked to do was play slight variations on Harry McAfee, under many different names. Lynde emphasized the angry, snarky side of "Harry McAfee" and Alice Ghostley was the resigned, long-suffering side of "Harry (Harriet?) McAfee". And the problem with "Harry McAfee" is that he's/she's hard to take in anything but small doses. Imagine if you had a friend or co-worker like that. Three Harry McAfee lines in a half an hour would drive you crazy. Imagine working with someone who delivered twenty. What a horrible situation for him to be in, in terms of his homosexuality. Everyone in Hollywood may have known he was gay, but not everyone in the nation, or else he could have just come out. An awful lot of people thought he was playing gay, parodying gays, anything to avoid believing that he was actually gay. Remember how some mothers wanted their little boys to grow up to be like Liberace, while they would never have said they wanted a gay son. Somehow, they thought it was all an act and so he had to go on pretending he was just doing an act. Sad.
Beautiful ❤️❣️❤️❤️
@bcollins2007 LOOKS LIKE HER
RIP KAYE!
anyone know Kayes email/address?
+Ken M Kaye Ballard Drive, Rancho Mirage, CA
ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
no its true, they renamed the street years ago to her name. she bought desi arnazs house in 1970
+RachelDavisMatthews she has a website and i believe she interacts there
She has a control over me...She is so funny!!!!!!!!!
He was no victim
Paul was the best.
Legend s
Loved Paul Lynde. He was very funny! I would have loved to see him with Robin Williams. But, with both on stage, I’d probably have died laughing!
No I don't like Robin Williams at all. Only as an actor
Paul was truly a ‘cruel’ man who was over the Top!
I've heard this too. He was a MEAN drunk from what's been reported. You had to remove your shoes when entering his home and walk a fine line.
As hard as it may be to believe, I never realized that Paul Lynde was gay until he passed away and a co-worker made a remark. I always thought he was very funny on the Hollywood Squares. as well as his frequent appearances on sit-coms like "I Dream Of Jeannie". He was so good as "The Munsters"' family doctor that I laugh out loud every time I see one of those episodes.
Yeah, as a kid, I thought he pretended to be gay as a joke.
So many gay men and women feel it's important to make a public stand and announce that they are gay. Paul Lynde never had to do that and didn't feel that he needed to. He was and everyone knew it, but there is something just as strong about staying in the closet as there it to coming out of the closet. This is why Paul Lynde's career lasted so long, his comedic talent and personal dignity about his being gay, but no need to shout it from the mountain top!
He couldn't come out because it would have been the immediate end of his career in the 1950s, 60s, or 70s.
There is a need! Teenagers are still killing themselves because, and only because, they are gay and don't feel they can be accepted
Heterosexuals have pride 365 days of a year and are treated better than non heterosexuals. Heteros don't get murdered in the name of religion . heteros hold hands publicly and aren't beaten up for being open for whom.they live. Heteros don't get fired, thrown out onto the streets for being straight, they don't get discriminated for being straight. So you think gays should stay in the closet? You are wrong baby!
Cartoonlover no way jose
Here’s the deal you don’t have to run around stating your gay You just have to live your life openly. Straights don’t have to say out loud that they are gay. I have never had “the talk” with my parents I just included them in my life.
Ikr, everyone in my life who has "come out" my reaction has been, Are you just now figuring this out? Cause I kinda figured!
He was obviously a huge talent. and Deserved all the fame he achieved. but he is just not my cup of tea to be honest. perfect voice for a comical Villain though sorry to all the fans of his I mean no disrespect as I didn't know who he was till a couple of days ago. I am British and I was looking at old Margaret Hamilton videos on You tube and came across a god awful Halloween special he did with her it was bloody dreadful even had the band KISS in it. Although I did recognise his Voice Did he do Cartoon voice overs.
hey judd back in the days of paul lynde "gay" the term was NOT even @
