So, is Roger on 'AMERICAN DAD' Paul Lynde?

[romantico]

I know Paul Lyned is dead, but is that who's he's suppose to be? I think Paul Lynde was awsome (didn't he threaten a 5 year old once while drunk on an airplane?) I love Roger's voice & think he's gonna be my favorite charachter. Is it true we have to wait til May to see more episodes? Won't Bush/Homeland security ban it by then?

[JohnKleeb]

1. I dont know who Paul Lynde is

but the small gay dar that I have, says to me that Roger is supposed to be gay.

[mondo joe]

5. Don't KNOW who Paul Lynde is?

Someone wake me when civilization returns to America!

[JohnKleeb]

6. Excuse me but I am 17 years old

[chookie]

17. GIT AHT! -- yins only 17?

(Translation to non-Paris-of-Appalachia citizens: Oh come now sir? Are you telling me truly that ye be only 17 years of age?

I've seen your picture, Kleeb -- MONTHS ago. You are not 17. not in human years. Not in dog years, either. Maybe in bintarong years, maybe....

Good heavens -- good thing I never tried to seduce you....

[JohnKleeb]

19. Yeah I turn 18 in July

I thought it was common knowledge, :shrug:

[chookie]

30. Obviously I was out of the loop

Hmmm -- I could have sworn you were the guy requesting advise on facial hair some considerable months ago -- I never thought you were a teen. I though you were in the 21-28 range.

Again -- THANK HEAVENS I never tried to seduce you :-)

[JohnKleeb]

31. ha yeah

No, I dont ask questions about facial hair because I prefer to be clean shaved always.

[yardwork]

37. Since Paul Lynde was gay, you got it in one!

[JohnKleeb]

38. holy crap, it works somewhat

[yardwork]

39. You've got a gift!

[Dookus]

2. Yes

it's clearly a Paul Lynde imitation.

edit: The airplane story is my favorite Paul Lynde story. He was on a plane - drinking as usual - and a little girl was running up and down the aisle, screaming, just being a nuisance. Lynde got up, went over to the girl's mother, leaned in real close and sneered "You shut that little girl up or I'll fuck her."

[tridim]

14. Haha! I wonder if he did it in his "Paul Lynde" voice?

I can hear it in my head. :D

[SmileyBoy]

3. The day I first saw the pre-pilot online, I KNEW that was Paul Lynde.

It's a BLATANTLY funny parody of him.

[JohnKleeb]

4. Whos Paul Lynde?

[Dookus]

7. sigh

kids these days.....


Probably best known as the center square in the old Hollywood Squares. Also played Uncle Arthur on Bewitched, and appeared in a number of movies, including Beach Blanket Bingo and Bye Bye Birdie.

[JohnKleeb]

9. C'mon I know more regular history than mostly everyone my age

Cut me some slack,

[Dookus]

13. No, no slack

I'm sending you to gay education camp immediately.

[JohnKleeb]

18. ha

oh c'mon dude.

[mondo joe]

20. I concur w Dookus. It's time for Gay Tough Love Military School.

Wait until that drill sargent has you singing show tunes till you drop.

[JohnKleeb]

23. hah

ok, ok.+

[Dookus]

21. oh you'll like it

the kids call it "Camp Camp"

[JohnKleeb]

24. Isnt that a little uninspired?

[babylonsister]

15. LOL! "Kids these days"-perfect!

[Dookus]

16. thank you

I'd hoped somebody would get it.

[ghostsofgiants]

28. Come on

You really expect a 17 year old to know anything about Hollywood Squares or Bewitched?

[JohnKleeb]

29. I know

and I am somewhat smart, I can read and write.

[Reverend_Smitty]

33. well Hollywood Squares is/was on game show network..

and I don't give a damn how old you are, if you've never heard of Bewitched...then you need to be slapped! Although I can forgive them for not knowing his character on Bewitched because it was a minor role.

BTW I'm 20...and none of my roommates will ever play me in Trivial Pursuit again because I whooped their asses so badly...I have an addiction and my addiction is knowing useless trivia. I think I should open up a school for all people of "my" generation to teach them about the pop culture they might not be aware of. :P

[JohnKleeb]

34. Ive heard of both of those, I just didnt know who Lynde was

Pop culture aint my speciality anyhow, mine is baseball and presidential history, :shrug: Erza Pound was Eisenhower's sec of interior.

[Reverend_Smitty]

35. Well just enroll in Dookus' Gay finishing school...

and I think you will be ok! He'll teach ya what you need to know :P

[JohnKleeb]

36. ha always nice to learn new things

[SmileyBoy]

8. He had a show back in the early 70's.

One of the very first FLAMINGLY gay entertainers.

[JohnKleeb]

10. so Roger is supposed to be gay?

Oh my god, my gay dar worked.

[babylonsister]

11. Paul Lynde!

Very funny guy, was on 'The Match Game' maybe?B-)

[durablend]

32. He was a scream

I grew up watching him on Hollywood Squares. He was The Man. And against some pretty tough competition, like Charlie Weaver and Wally Cox.

All these years later, I read the transcripts and still could pee myself laughing.

He was an extraordinary talent, and I am blessed to have seen him in performance.

Heres a WM clip of them doing some voice-overs.
