Blogger friend Woodsterman gave
me the idea for today’s Throwback Thursday.
His blog post entitled “When
Comedy Was Funny” brought back some happy memories.
The best version of the show, I
think, ran from 1966 through 1981 when Peter Marshall was the show’s host. NBC, which earned the rights to the show
after its pilot in 1965 also aired a nighttime version that could be seen on
Friday nights at 9:30 PM.
Some of the best comedians of the
time were regulars like Cliff Arquette (Charley Weaver), Rich Little, Rose
Marie, Nanette Fabray, Wally Cox, Morey Amsterdam, Buddy Hackett, Marty Allen,
George Gobel, Jonathan Winters and Paul Lynde.
Lynde appeared on 707 episodes
and became famous for his outrageous jokes.
The video below contains some of
Lynde’s best jokes. Have a laugh or two. We need it these days.
