Here is a hilarious clip of Paul Lynde doing the weather at the former WSPD, Ch. 13, in Toledo, OH, around 1978 or '79. This was my #1 clip on another KZfaq channel of mine that got suspended, so here it is again!

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!

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 KZfaq 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.

@@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.

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.
