Charles Nelson Reilly Dead At 76

[Mikey]

Charles was always my fav of Match Game.

I also remember him from the Ghost and Mrs Murre too

Easily the funniest star of Match Game. I see his name and I immediately start playing the "bum bump bah dah bah da da dump bump" hook music in my head.

A true 70's icon in a way. As a kid I never really got his sense of humor that I now appreciate. Love watching the old Match Game reruns!

[Wee67]

A truly sad day for 70's-ophiles. I still love watching the old episodes of Match Game with him and Brett Somers. As a kid, I had no idea they all trashed.

Ah, well, raise one this weekend for one of TV's most famous B celebrities.
