I'm watching this movie on TCM right now with Rock Hudson and Paul Lynde in it!

I mean wow. I get people where surprised when they found out about Rock Hudson, but Paul Lynde...Really? If I remember right Nancy Reagan was a friend of Hudson's and got Ronnie to actually try to do something about AIDS when he got diagnosed. Or at least that's what I heard.

The voice of Roger, the alien in "American Dad," is just about identical to Lynde's.

I'm joking about royalties, but it is a shame that when I mentioned this to a roomful of 20-somethings, no one had any idea who Paul Lynde was.

Paul at his most outrageous and hilarious.

More here (text): http://www.classicsquares.com/lyndesquares.html

A sample:

Peter Marshall: If the right part comes along, will George C. Scott do a nude scene?
Paul Lynde: You mean he doesn't have the right part?

Peter Marshall: Diamonds should not be kept with your family jewels, why?
Paul Lynde: They're so cold!

Peter Marshall: What is a pullet?
Paul Lynde: A little show of affection...

Peter Marshall: When Richard Nixon was Vice-President, he went someplace on a "good will mission," but instead wound up being stoned and shouted at. Where did this take place?
Paul Lynde: Pat's room .

Peter Marshall: True or false, the navy has trained whales to recover objects a mile deep.
Paul Lynde: At first they tried unsuccessfully with cocker spaniels...

Peter Marshall: It is the most abused and neglected part of your body-- what is it?
Paul Lynde: Mine may be abused but it certainly isn't neglected!
