Subject: Charles Nelson Reilly Passes On...
Written By: LyricBoy on 05/28/07 at 7:08 am
Just heard on the news that Charles Nelson Reilly, the "flamboyant" participant in counless Match Game and Hollywood Squares game show episodes, bit it yesterday.
CNR was 78.
RIP Charles. :\'( Contestants are waiting for you in that great Game Show in the sky... :)

Bummer. I always liked him. Most people are not aware that he got his start Broadway, won a Tony for his role in "How to Success in Business..." and was in the original production of Hello Dolly (where he had a Tony nom). I also liked him in Lidsville, too. But, we all know him best on Match Game. I'm sure he is now having a great time with Gene Rayburn. :\'( :\'( :\'(
R.I.P.

R.I.P. Mr. Reilly :(
He also used to appear on 'The $25,000 Pyramid' and 'Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour' which is where I mostly remember him from. I only ever saw 'Match Game 7X / Match Game PM' via GSN reruns

I remember watching episodes of Match Game during the time they first came out, in the 1970's. It was a very clever game show, and Charles Nelson Reilly added a lot to it.

Me too. Of course at the time, I didn't "get" half the jokes. Now watching on GSN, I "get" them. :D

When I was a kid watching The Match Game I thought that Charles and Brett had a "thing" for each other and he was getting some on the side. :-[
It was not until years later that I figured out thet she was not exactly his type.

I know what you mean. But then I also found out that they drank between and during taping (everyone). I think that might have explained a lot, too. :)
Thanks for the clarification on Brett's name....I was drawing a complete blank and haven't watched it on GSN for quite a while.

I just found out about this today. Poor guy; he'll be greatly missed. :\'( :\'( And by the way, he was only 76.
I, too, enjoyed him on "Match Game 7_" (the underscore can be filled in with any digit).

Got this from Answers.com after using google:
Somers was married to actor Jack Klugman and had a recurring role as Klugman's ex-wife Blanche on his hit show The Odd Couple. She made guest appearances on many TV shows, including Battlestar Gallactica, The Fugitive and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
Somers and Klugman were married in 1953. They later separated, but never divorced. In a 2003 interview with the TheaterMania website, Somers said, "We haven't lived together for -- God, I don't know how many years. But neither of us will ever get married again. Jack is a man who never should have been married, but he's very dear and I love him."
