I'll Take Paul Lynde to Block

One of the most iconic American game show is "Hollywood Squares".  Anyone could play and win the format was the simple Tic Tac Toe game with a celebrity twist. The large square set with it's nine cubicles and spiral staircases is the ultimate in simplicity. Each square held a celebrity and contestants either agreed or disagreed with them. Mr X and Miss Circle picked celebrities and host Peter Marshall would ask a question. The celebrity than answered and it was the contestants job to decide if they were right or wrong. The celebrities were often given the questions before hand so they could come up with witty bon mots or have the shows writers supply them with something funny. Many of the celebrity guests were know for their fast thinking humor and supplied their own retorts. Paul Lynde, the center square, was a master of the fast and funny double entendre. Over the show's 15 year intital run there were many regular celebrities such as Rose Marie who answered questions about romance or lack there of, Charlie Weaver who answered history questions, George Goeble who was often asked questions about being old and Charo who's questions were about her mangling of English.
Hollywood Square ran from 1966 to 1981 with Peter Marshall as the host and to tbe fair there were later incarnations with different hosts but the original was always the best.

Peter Marshall: Paul, Why do Hell's Angels wear leather?
Paul Lynde: Because Chiffon wrinkles so easily.
