Just replied in the horse thread. Congrats. Unfortunately, I left before I checked for your reply. I'll be around the computer this weekend, so if you like anything, I'd appreciate a note. Unfortunately, I will likely be too busy to even glance at a form.

I used to watch Hollywood Squares.
The jokes weren't that spontaneous.
The stars were given the questions before the show started and that allowed some preparation for the jokes during the show.

I have heard that every funny response Paul Lynde gave was scripted.

I agree, the newer version wasn't as great. But if someone can find the clip of Gilbert Godfried, it would be worth posting. He is the only square left and each contestant keeps going to him for the win. He keeps bullshitting and they keep believing him. Good TV.

Thanks PBR. I love that clip.

Does anyone remember on the Newlywed Game, the question was "Strangest place you ever made whoppie?"

And the husband (or wife) responded..."In the Butt"

For a long time that was considered an urban legend, but when they dug up old footage for "Best of GameShow Moments" they aired it. Hilarious.

Clip from post 18. Quite possibly the funniest moment ever on TV.

Funny now.

Now imagine this is from about 30 years ago!

Thanks PBR
