	fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d and thanks to you,she does in death what she did in life...latch on to charles! anyone who ever watched match game regularly remembers how brett would always copy off charles when she was stuck for an answer. so i guess it's fitting that she doesn't get her own thread,but shares this one with her old nemesis. and who would've thought she'd die before jack klugman?? seriously it is sad to hear. she seemed to be a very cool woman. R.I.P. the embedding of this clip was disabled,but it's charles at his best poking fun at brett (nothing new). www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vE4HqEToGw dd --- peterpuck9 Brett Somers died on 9/15/07 (Saturday morning) Announced on her official website: www.brettsomers.com/

	fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Memories of CNR: I remember one of his many appearances on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He had already done his segment and the next guest, some starlet I believe, was talking to Johnny and she mentioned that she slept with two pillows, which psychologists say means you are using the second pillow as a substitute for a sleeping partner. Charles popped up with "Well, I sleep with three pillows!" The house erupted with laughter. (FWIW: I sleep with six pillows. I wonder what a pshrink would make of that...) =) DJ1, out.

	fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d last night (well, actually EARLY this morning) at 3AM game show network did a little tribute to charles by showing editions of two other game shows he was on beside match game. first he was a panelist on "what's my line?" from about 1963 i'd say. next he was a celebrity guest on a 1970s version of "i've got a secret" hosted by steve allen. charles' secret was that he was learning how to do body painting. his "canvas" was model janice pennington who had just started on the NEW price is right. that plus a reference to "laugh-in" (charles' instuctor was the guy who painted the gogo girls) leads me to believe it was about 1972. two of the panelists were gene rayburn and richard dawson. no mention was made of "match game", so "secret" predated it by a couple of years at least. below are some screen grabs i took. notice the looks on gene's and richard's faces after they removed their masks (they had to guess what charles was doing).

	fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Seconded! --- Stavro288 I'll request (if you can find it) the theme to 'Uncle Croc's Block', which he sang himself. 'Uncle Croc's Block was a ferocious lampooning of other children's shows, with Charles Nelson Reilly playing the disgruntled titular part, who hated his job as a children's show host. Also featured were Alfie Wise as his sidekick Mr. Rabbit Ears and Jonathan Harris as the show's director Basil Bitterbottom. Centered around skits were Uncle Croc and a wide variety of parodied characters such as Captain Klangeroo, Bogey Bear, Steve Exhaustion/The $6.95 Man and Captain Marbles, a play on Filmation's live action Shazam! series. Evel Knievel, very popular at the time, was also parodied. Koo-koo Knievel was a wild puppet bird in a giant coo-coo clock, and would occasionally pop out of the clock to introduce a segment in bizarre fashion.'

	fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Some possibilities (courtesy of Wilkepedia) Article Reilly is referenced in the song "I Like Hubcaps", featured on The Brak Album by Brak. Reilly is mentioned in the song "Serrated Edge" by the Dead Milkmen (in which the lyrics assert that the band are using him as the "Christ" figure of their church). A sample of Reilly playing Hoodoo on Lidsville is used by Marilyn Manson in the song Dope Hat.
