I am 66 years old. I was 25 years old when Paul died and I am still watching him to this day in 2023.

Paul Lynde was the biggest reason I watched Hollywood squares

How can anyone not love this wonderful talented man His joking around helps with my depression

Paul Lynde was, for all intents and purposes, what made Hollywood Squares such a funny show.

Paul Lynde was priceless most of the time. Hollywood Squares would not have achieved its popularity without him.

Just that voice and that delivery. That's all it takes to make you laugh. Thank you for the gift of laughter. RIP Uncle Arthur!

Lynde once said that, while he would rather be recognized as a serious actor, "we live in a world that needs laughter, and I've decided if I can make people laugh, I'm making an important contribution."

Buddy Hackett's laughter was so contagious, & he & Paul were great entertainment !!! 😂😂😂

I met him as a small girl, my father met him when Paul rode the Conch Tour Train in Key West, Florida. Paul and my dad became friends and every time Paul would come to town, he’d invite us four kids to go to the mini golf with him. He was truly our uncle Paul, God rest his soul!! Loved him, miss him dearly! 😢

I can watch him all day, a person truly ahead of his time.

I'm sorry that he suffered so much. A shining light. Wish he had found happiness.

I love how Paul Lynde just cracks himself up. He was having so much fun in that middle square...!

I loved Paul Lynde. Most people did. He didn't know how handsome, smart and talented he was.

I grew up watching these shows with my grandmother during summer vacation back in the day. Paul Lynde was the funniest person ever on Hollywood Squares. No one was quicker with a one liner comeback.

His delivery & timing was impeccable! He was hilarious!! Love watching these … takes me back to my childhood.

I loved watching this show when I was a kid. Paul Lynde was one of the greatest wits around.

I loved Paul Lynde, he was the only reason I watched this show!!

His shirt collection was to die for!!!!

I wish they would give this show another reboot!!!!! It was great!!!

When I played Templeton the Rat in my fourth grade production of "Charlotte's Web" you can SURE AS 💩 bet I based my performance on Lynde's voice acting from the 1979 animated version of E.B. White's novel. I ❤ this man.

I Love Paul Lynn's delivery, loved him on Bewitched as uncle Arthur. 😄😄😄😄😄

I miss this show so much. My parents and I used to watch this show faithfully. Those were the good 'ol days.

What I notice most about him is he will approach the line but never cross it. What a class act!

Quick witted and well read. Did not take himself too seriously. Loved him.

Paul Lynde was fabulous. He died so young; glad we have these clips to enjoy his wit.

Paul had the most amazing laugh and best smile ever!!😆

This is Absolute Gold.... Paul Lynde was Very Intelligent.. And Extremely Witty and Just Downright Hilarious.. I Haven't Laughed That Hard for Almost 2 Hours in I Can't Remember When.. And Man Does He Nail Alice Ghostley's Manerism's.. Rest in Power to The One and Only Paul Lynde 💖💖

Man I made sure I watched anything Paul Lynde did. He was ALWAYS quick & hilarious

These early episodes, before Paul Lynde was installed permanently in the center square, were amazing! I remember watching these in real time 45 years ago. His jokes were unforgettable.

I love Paul Lynde!! I love the way he minced his words. That voice is iconic.

Paul's best was when Peter asked him "Is it OK to use a vacuum on your dog?" Paul replied "It's better to walk him."

Loved Paul as Uncle Arthur on Bewitched. I swear he must have written most of his lines himself because they just fit his wit and personality so we'll.

Paul Lynde was too hilarious RIP.

What a genius Paul was lol. I had the thought watching this that Robin Williams would have been hilarious in this setting as well!

What was classic and iconic about Mr Lynde was how he had a hilarious snappy answer to the question, perfectly timed for maximum laughs, but then would retreat into pensive thought to get the answer correct for the contestant. He was more often than not correct, but missed enough times that you could never say with certainty he knew the questions ahead of time. He was a comic genius. If you ever watch the old Match games, Richard Dawson would frequently give a very good impression of Lynde. Often imitated, but never duplicated.

I just loved Paul Lynde when I was a kid. He had an amazingly sharp wit with an hilarious delivery 🥰

Paul Lynde was fantastic and quick!

Immortal Paul Lynde~ I think people will always love him :)

Paul Lynde was always funny and witty.....I grew up watching him on Hollywood squares, what a riot

Paul was the best, my all-time favorite line was by Charley Weaver: "How many balls on a billiard table?" "How many guys are playing?"

This is that moment where I say I miss Paul. Paul was a staple in my youth and have to reason I have my current giggle and comedy response. Paul and used to be my mentor. I'm miss him dearly.

Is there anyone these days like Paul Lynde? I don't think so

I'm glad that they discovered the 1968 prime time shows! May they be preserved forever.I also love the four square shot,it kinda gave the show a cool effect.

I watched with my mom in the 70's, we loved this program. I must confess, Paul Lynde also shows an incredible amount of class and restraint by not blurting out any tasteless or vulgar comments that are so easily within reach of the question.

Paul, Buddy and others were wonderful! I was a child back then, now 55, but that was when things were still great!!

Paul had a Beautiful smile just Gorgeous!🥰👍👍👍

I loved Paul Lynde!!! He was always making me laugh 😂

Inside his quickest witty jostling lines in the West lies a complex and intelligent man that most people will not comprehend. This man was gifted.

I absolutely lol with each zinger!! Paul was one of a kind and it's so sad that he died so young.

His quick wit and snappy comebacks were classic...instant laughs

Paul is the reason we watched this show.

Peter: "Paul, when preparing the classic French dish Chicken Fricassee, what must you first remove from the chicken?" Paul: "The rooste-e-e-r."

On the spot witty funny comebacks. Paul Lynde for the win.

He shows so much immediate intelligence and broad and deep education!

He was the Greatest ever and never given his Enough Credit for his brilliance, he’s so witty and funny and makes me laugh watching him a million time. Love and Respect to you Always!

"He wanted the Tin man to notice him". 😂

I remember someone asking Paul Lynde, How's the rat race?" Which Paul Lynde answered as only he could, "The rats are winning!" What a funny funny man.

Lynde’s wit is so sharp. Funny man. Thank for posting!

"Paul, what's the main thing we get from Honduras?" "You got it TOO?" I musta laughed for 5 minutes.

A funny funny man, so sharp, so quick, as many times I watch him, I laugh 😂 so much, I never tire of him, never.

Was a huge fan of Paul Lynde. Enjoyed his work. I used to have a signed autograph picture of him when I was in junior high--wish I still had it.

Loved the " naked and screaming" zinger.

It took the wind out of his sails for a few rounds when Connie Stevens failed to remember that he was in Bye, Bye Birdie. He answered the next few questions seriously, without trying to be funny. He bounced back with a vengeance, though. Knowing now about his insecurities and fears of being forgotten and a nobody, it must have crushed his soul a little for his biggest movie role to be forgotten by one of his co-stars on the same panel. He was a true trailblazer. If only he knew how influential he truly was.

I will always be a fan of this man...🖤🖤🖤

Now you know how he got to be the Center Square. A very funny man.

I'm so glad I grew up in those times. This world today is so disturbingly fucked up. Despite what todays TV, movies, and the media portray, those times were AMAZING beyond description!!!

His brilliance is amazing... cannot watch enough of him.

This takes me back to my early childhood 6 -10 years old. Watching with my mom.

Peter Marshall has such a great voice

Jeez he's almost instantaneously psychic ❤ this show was so much fun

Paul Lynde was so funny. He was great at comedy.

Paul Lynde was brilliant! Way above and beyond contemporary media stars!

I saw the 2 hour length and laughed... and laughed... and laughed! I can't believe I listened to the whole thing. Strange but remarkable body of work. Kudos to Mr. Lynd for taking us back!

"Why Do Hell's Angels wear leather?" "Because chiffon wrinkles".

When that female celebrity said “You were Anne Margaret’s mother?!” I lost it! LoL

When you can get a master comedian like Buddy Hacket to belly laugh you are very special.Paul was a brilliant and natural comedian.

I think Paul was an excellent comedian R I P😢😴

"How many husbands have the three Gabor sisters had among them." "Including their own?"

I used to love watching Hollywood Squares with my grandmother and he was my favorite panelist, always in the center square when I watched. I thought he was hilarious when I was 8 years old and didn't understand much of anything lol. I think he's even funnier now that I am an adult. RIP....gone too soon.

22:40 43 years later and Charles is still waiting to take the throne

His jokes were top notch and his delivery outstanding

Many famous comedians had to be booted from the game because they repeatedly went into a long joke every time their name was called out. Paul Lynde was one of a kind.

Love how Buddy Hackett laughs so hard at Paul’s jokes

Love seeing all the stars so young & in their prime. Paul was always great! Loved him in “Bewitched’! He left us too soon. Thank Heaven for all the wonderful TV shows that have been saved for us to keep enjoying over & over!

Amazing! Way ahead of his time!

I loved him when I was a kid. Thanks for this

I must've laughed for 10 min straight when he said Lawerence Welk's worst trait was that he enjoys sitting on his bubble machine. Too much at 3 in the morning.

Thank you for a trip down memory lane. I grew up in the 60s and loved everything he did.

Paul Lynde was so funny and some of his jokes wouldn't even be aired today.

Man, they got some top talent to on the squares. Vincent Price, Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise. The whole lot.

A few of the genuine geniuses in comedy are ever appreciated fully and sadly, so often after their time. Fortunately there are those who are recognised in their prime, and Paul Lynde is definitely one of these. Famous for his "zingers" on the "Hollywood Squares" tv game show, he could be quick, sharp and extremely funny: for example, when asked in what state was Abraham Lincoln born, he responded with the same all of us are born in---naked and screaming! This was so typical of his focused responses and at the same time was very learned, especially in ancient history. He was celebrated and appreciated and now sorely missed.

Paul was funny and had great timing!!! glad we have these clips of him from hollywood squares!

Actually Paul Lynde enhances my sense of humor. He's like a teacher. Paul Lynde was a master in the art of comedy.

I like how people start laughing before Paul could come up with a joke. They can tell what he's going to say. He was the best of the best. Will be missed.

Thanks for the Memories but more importantly Thanks for the laughs we need them so badly these days!

Paul Lynde made me laugh and he was so funny made my days brighter !

Sure can tell when Michael Landon is on the show. Can't miss his infectious laugh.

"She couldn't convince Henry the 8th he was Henry the first" - Genius!!!

Absolutely love this man, and I'm deeply saddened about his death at 55, I'll always keep him in my prayers.

I WISH THEY RERUN HOLLYWOOD SQUARES BACK ON 📺 TV!!!
