Here's a nice appreciation of Charles Nelson Reilly, with a bit of Paul Lynde included.

Peter Marshall: Oh, Paul, what would we ever do without you?
Paul Lynde: Replace me with Charles Nelson Reilly!

DVD News

A friend sent word that a special Paul Lynde DVD is coming. I found this on the 'net:

On October 2, we'll be releasing the amazingly bizarre, iconic and entertaining "Paul Lynde Halloween Special" as a single DVD at $14.99! Not only is the resplendent Lynde in fine form in this October 1976 TV special, he's joined by Margaret Hamilton (who dons the entire costume from "The Wizard of Oz" for the only time since the original 1939 release, including the green make-up). She is joined by Witchie Poo (Billie Hayes) from "H.R. Pufnstuf" playing her 'sister', Tom Conway, Donnie and Marie Osmond, Billy Barty, Roz 'Pinkie Tuscadero' Kelly, Betty White, Florence Henderson and as musical guests...KISS, in their first TV appearance! KISS performs 3 songs and the footage of them on stage 'talking' with Lynde is priceless.

Of course, it's "Tim" Conway..."Donny" Osmond...and "Pinky" Tuscadero, but that's OK. It's very exciting news - and a great price!
