Charles Nelson Reilly was a mighty man The kind of man you'd never disrespect He stood eight feet tall, wore glasses And he had a third nipple on the back of his neck He ate his own weight in coal, and excreted diamonds everyday He could throw you down a flight of stairs But you still would love him anyway Yeah, you know you'd love him anyway Charles Nelson Reilly won the Tour de France With two flat tires and a missing chain He trained a rattlesnake to do his laundry I'm telling you the man was insane He could rip out your beating heart And show it to you right before you died Every day he'd make the host of Match Game Give him a piggyback ride Yeah, two hour piggyback ride, giddy up Gene Ninja warrior, master of disguise He could melt your brain with his laser-beam eyes Oh yeah Oh yeah He had his own line at the DMV He made sweet, sweet love to a manatee Oh yeah Oh yeah, that was something to see, I tell ya Charles Nelson Reilly sold his toenail clippings As a potent aphrodisiac He ran a four minute mile blindfolded With an engine block strapped to his back He could eat more frozen waffles Then any other man I know Once he fell off the Chrysler building And he barely even stubbed his toe Had a tiny little scratch on his toe Didn't even hurt Charles Nelson Reilly figured out cold fusion But he never ever told a soul I've seen the man unhinge his jaw And swallow a Volkswagen whole He'd bash your face in with a shovel If you didn't treat him like a star 'Cause you can spit in the wind, or tug on Superman's cape But Lord knows you just don't mess around with CNR No, no, no Talkin' about CNR
Charles Nelson Reilly never just appeared on Match Game: He also appeared several times on Hollywood Squares, and was a very close friend of Johnny Carson, having made a number of guest appearances on The Tonight Show. The man truly had talent, thats for sure! 😊
I knew CNR when I was a child. I had a school project for history class to interview someone about a recent history. He was nice and let me interview him about the Connecticut Circus Fire.
Charles Nelson Reilly, Paul Lynde, Tony Randall, Liberace. It was perfectly acceptable to be gay, accepted in millions of homes on television. As long as they didn't officially come out or remotely hint they had a romantic life.
I got fire tv and I’m watching match game 75 tonight buzzr tv is playing match game 80 tonight hey buzzr stop skipping match game episodes just go watch TH-cam find the episodes you like and play them
The trampoline question I think was seeded for the answer "jumped" or "bounced". Were they such vulgar terms back then? For a man to "jump" his wife now is a juvie term, but still cute, no?
An adult man billed with three names? Charles Nelson, really?! I was embarrassed just seeing him on TV game shows, ESPECIALLY sporting eyeglasses 2x bigger then necessary. He was a waste of expensive air time...nothing personal of course.
CNR is an absolute legend.
Agreed
Charles Nelson Reilly was a mighty man
The kind of man you'd never disrespect
He stood eight feet tall, wore glasses
And he had a third nipple on the back of his neck
He ate his own weight in coal, and excreted diamonds everyday
He could throw you down a flight of stairs
But you still would love him anyway
Yeah, you know you'd love him anyway
Charles Nelson Reilly won the Tour de France
With two flat tires and a missing chain
He trained a rattlesnake to do his laundry
I'm telling you the man was insane
He could rip out your beating heart
And show it to you right before you died
Every day he'd make the host of Match Game
Give him a piggyback ride
Yeah, two hour piggyback ride, giddy up Gene
Ninja warrior, master of disguise
He could melt your brain with his laser-beam eyes
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
He had his own line at the DMV
He made sweet, sweet love to a manatee
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, that was something to see, I tell ya
Charles Nelson Reilly sold his toenail clippings
As a potent aphrodisiac
He ran a four minute mile blindfolded
With an engine block strapped to his back
He could eat more frozen waffles
Then any other man I know
Once he fell off the Chrysler building
And he barely even stubbed his toe
Had a tiny little scratch on his toe
Didn't even hurt
Charles Nelson Reilly figured out cold fusion
But he never ever told a soul
I've seen the man unhinge his jaw
And swallow a Volkswagen whole
He'd bash your face in with a shovel
If you didn't treat him like a star
'Cause you can spit in the wind, or tug on Superman's cape
But Lord knows you just don't mess around with CNR
No, no, no
Talkin' about CNR
More like absolute flamer...
The audience did not go wild for Charles's answer
Yep, clickbait is scheisty and desperate.
Very true; I felt somewhat let down.
@@AndrewMacLaineTheir self esteem is tied to how many views they get.
It was the answer I thought of.
@@AndrewMacLaine you are right👎
This shows reminds me of being sick and staying home from school while mom was at work. Oh the life of a Gen X kid.

Cool!
This show is so good, I watch the reruns every night
Me too! Here in 2024
THANK YOU CHARLES NELSON REILLY Just for Being! 🙏
Omg my earliest memories are watching match game and CNR and Brett made me lol.
Charles and Brett are the original Will & Grace 😄 And just want to say that I love, love, love BUZZR. So glad it's on Sling TV!
Funnier though.
2:13 "DUMB!" 😂😅
VERY misleading caption
Rodger from the cartoon American Dad is based on Charles Nelson Reilly
Richard is a Veteran alright. From "Hogan's Heroes"😁
Charles has hit it on the head!
And I was thinking, "used spaceships".
Patti was in Mr Mom.
when i visited the space center in houston; i asked an employee if they had tang
Best game show ever!
I always wondered how these people were ever stars. I knew the Hogan's Heroes stars but Charles, Brett, Patti and Madlyn? Still no idea.
Anyone else notice the ashtrays on the set?
Leave it to crazy Patti to think WAY outside the box!
Dorothy went on to be Dora the explorer years later.
Love him!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My favorite contestant... Dorothy Zinni. Love her.
what was the answer that made the crowd go wild? Better yet, when did the crowd ever go wild?
What are you talking about? There was nobody going WILD!!!!
Tja audience went crazy for Dorothy…watch the episodes she is in !!!
love it
I would have said " selling Avon "
Oh Chuck does it again.
Time magazine.
anyone got candy's @?
Well that was disappointing ☹️. 🤓😎✌🏻
@5:17 Hit Her? "He was mad so he hit'er." Maybe Madlyn needs to talk to someone about how things are going at home? Crazy answer, no?
Mars salesman...
Kitchen sinks?
Used space ships?
A 70s version of Paul Schafer
Candy Is Short For Candace
Brett had to be either drunk or just stupid. She was so annoying.
100%
💯×10 % 👏👏👍👍
I thought of Mars Bars but thought it wouldn’t be acceptable as an advert for a product. Earth Bars was much cleverer.
