Charles Nelson Reilly Dead At 76

[K]

I really liked Charles.

Has anyone seen that SNL episode in which Will Ferrell plays James Lipton of The Actor's Studio and he's interviewing Alec Baldwin as Charles Nelson Reilly?? It's hilarious!

Rest in Peace, Mr. Reilly. :(

I was going to say that I noted his name on Spongebob Squarepants. RIP.

He will be missed. Also loved him in Canonball Run 2 and the episode of Spongebob Squarepants he did with Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway.

I read this on AOL today. They have a great You Tube clip where Charles temporarily takes over hosting the Match Game. Classic.

RIP Who-Doo and Uncle Croc

OMG! This is so sad! I watched Lidsville when I was 5, and he was the reason I started watching Match Game, (Who-Doo was in it!). Then later at 9 I watched him in Uncle Croc's Block. One of my Saturday morning heroes is gone forever. :( You will be missed Charles, and you were loved by many.

Certainly a major pop icon for me, from Kroft to Match Game he was a hoot!
Now Bret Sommers can harass him again!

I always loved those B level celebrities on game shows in the 70's. I never really knew what else they did. It was like they were just famous for being famous. Charles Nelson Reily and Nipsey Russell were my favs.

Very Sad news. I loved him on Match Game, and inthe 70's I was probably one of the few kids that loved Uncle Croc Block show.

RIP Mr Riley

He was the reason to watch Match Game.

Funny, Funny guy. I always wanted to meet him. Guess I missed my chance.

RIP Charles

Lidsville was a classic early surrealist fave for me. I also recall he had a guest role in an X-Files episode that was very very good.

Yes, I believe he reprised that character on an episode of Millenium as well.
