George Lucas is about to change cinema, by moving the opening crawl to a galaxy far far away, and making the end crawl into an experience in itself.

love it! what a funny guy! whether he knows it or not, but I found him also hilarious because of his hair in this one gives a funny impression of being his tail feathers, no disrespect at all mant, i glory in these videos and watch them repeatedly. No one will ever replace him
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir...Lidsville...Uncle Croc's Block...Match Game. I was so blessed to grow up and have him on my tv. Just wish a lot of the Broadway/off-Broadway work of a lot of stars were recorded and available. I would have loved to see him on Bye Bye Birdie and Hello Dolly.
Paul Lynde wouldn't have had to inquire from buddy CNR who new comedian Crystal was, if he knew that he would be soon co-starring with Crystal in 1978 in "Rabbit Test". It was directed by Carson's guest host Joan Rivers & was Crystal's first movie role.
I hope members of LGBTQ+ community are appreciative of the inroads Charles Nelson Reilly made for all of us. He was a pioneer in the entertainment industry.
If you’re really talented and just happen to be gay, some narrow minded people might change their minds. If that happens enough there will be no narrow minded people left.
I am from the UK and I only knew CNR through watching 'The Ghost and Mrs Muir' TV series when it was on CZcams. I wondered who this funny and eccentric-looking chap was and why he's not known in England, so watched a lot of his interviews and his one-man show. I think he was great and very entertaining, even when he described his awful childhood. He also sounds like the comedian who voiced 'The Hooded Claw' in the 'Perils of Penelope Pitstop': Paul Lynde, I think. (Again, not a widely known name in the UK.)

@@TJ-kk5zf There is no god. You are deluded. And pigeon-holing people into categories (white/black, jew/muslim, gay/straight) is simply ignorant. Everyone is just human. regardless of how you'd like to classify them. My guess is you're American. You have a lot of education and enlightenment ahead of you. Start with a library card, some books on science and the human race, and finally get rid of your silly make believe friend, and that book of bad ideas you've been preached. Clearly you've missed the point.
@@TJ-kk5zf And a racist! I knew it. (Most Christians are.) Philosophy, huh? It means 'love of knowledge'. Get some, so you can start loving something at least.
There’s a great match game clip out there where he rips off his toupee and puts it on a bald contestant. CNR was hilarious. I wish they had guys like him around nowadays. Just an entertainer and a storyteller.
He was balding early so he wore hair pieces the earlier ones were sewn in this is not its actually adhesive hair glue you can tell it doesnt match all the time but its fitted
Carson wore the worst looking clothes ever worn by an American male. And then he marketed it. Amazing. Absolute trash. Elvis's clothing looked like Chanel or YSL couture by comparison!
@@Kendell062 ...I was born in 1963...remember well the cloting of my older sisters' and ther boyfriends, who wore those bellbottoms, nd platforms shoes....3"-4" heels...and the womens'/girls' shoes....even taler.....lots of broken ankles...and nobody could REALLY run fast!
God bless Charles Nelson Reilly! He and Johnny are surely missed.
The amount of raw talent on that stage. Mind blowing!
Charles Nelson Reilly was one of the best!
When I was in my teen years..I saw him on reruns of Match Game and I thought" This guy is funny,unusual but funny". As an Adult you realize he was talented, clever, and Funny.
Bless that funny man
Yes, I gained a whole new perspective and respect for his talents when I watched him as an adult.
First time I saw this actor was on The Ghost & Mrs Muir. Loved his character,,,,
Always entertaining and very missed, a great guy.
One of the few people I can say that gave me genuine belly laughs since I was kid. Such a kind spirit. It exuded out of him.
Charles was always a gracious person....to EVERYONE ❤
Genius 😁⭐️♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤗🤗🤗🤗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rest in peace ;
Charles Nelson Reilly⭐️
He is a dream. I love him.
Love this man.iam 66 watch him in my 20s THE BEST story teller EVER R.I.P. Mr REILLY😂🏧😂😂🥰🥰🥰

I never knew how well respected and connected CNR was every clip I see the other guests know him and love him
He was a staple in television starting in the early 1960's
Kenneth Desmond Mosley, He was Burt Reynolds’ acting teacher. Reynolds was so grateful he bought Reilly a home in Florida.
What a story teller!
*storyteller
WHEN HE CAME BACK TO TGE MATCH GAME IN 1975 AND CAME DOWN FROM THE CEILING WITH A STUFFED HAWK IT WAS A CLASSIC FUNNY MOMENT
epic
I watch the old “match game” tv series because I love his certain witty and humor. He was certainly a entertaining treasure. Sooo funny🤣😂
A great raconteur. A lost art.
How kind for Charles to compliment and encourage the new kid, Billy Crystal. Such a class act! He is so missed!
So, so, so funny! I’m in tears laughing! Love CNR & Carson!
That Billy Crystal kid just may go places.
And I'm not just saying that, darling!
I just loved Charles Nelson Reilly such a wonderful talent watch him on match game all the time now
Great guest! You can tell Mr Carson really liked having him on.
CNR was so funny and awesome…and kind of cute all the time. 🙂
love it! what a funny guy! whether he knows it or not, but I found him also hilarious because of his hair in this one gives a funny impression of being his tail feathers, no disrespect at all mant, i glory in these videos and watch them repeatedly. No one will ever replace him
very young Billy Crystal next to Charles Nelson Reilly
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir...Lidsville...Uncle Croc's Block...Match Game. I was so blessed to grow up and have him on my tv. Just wish a lot of the Broadway/off-Broadway work of a lot of stars were recorded and available. I would have loved to see him on Bye Bye Birdie and Hello Dolly.
I love how CNR starts out slow, and then builds to hysterical end.
Hilarious that his main contribution as an advisor... was to spell his own credit correctly. Great storyteller.
Brilliant
CNR was ahead of his time in many ways.
Charles Nelson Reilly and Tony Randall, true raconteurs.
Paul Lynde wouldn't have had to inquire from buddy CNR who new comedian Crystal was, if he knew that he would be soon co-starring with Crystal in 1978 in "Rabbit Test". It was directed by Carson's guest host Joan Rivers & was Crystal's first movie role.
Maybe that's how Billy got the role.
I hope members of LGBTQ+ community are appreciative of the inroads Charles Nelson Reilly made for all of us. He was a pioneer in the entertainment industry.
They don’t
You know what we really don't care he's just funny
Yes! ❤
He didn’t pioneer throwing it at children

Excellent

He was definitely underrated as an actor. He is also a Broadway Tony Award winner for one of his roles, a theater director, and an opera expert.

King of the antidotes.

Good Lord, Billy Crystal as a child.
You have to watch the tv show Soap Billy’s first thing ever that made it
I'm truly LMAO 🤣😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was 9 hours old when this was filmed...
“So your wife DREAMS of Me...”
The timing, phrasing, and delivery of that line were all absolutely perfect. Hilarious
I get the idea that CNR thought Billy was gay for real that’s why he told him what he did
I thought the same thing and you really can’t blame him. Billy Crystal was one of the only straight men brave enough to do that at the time
I am the GREAT HOOODOOO....
Oh my. Hilarious!
That "new comedian" did pretty good for himself.
s r who is he?

Billy Crystal was a kid in this.
God must love gays. He made one of them Charles Nelson Reilly
What a stupid thing to say.

Oh LOOK at the major hair malfunction! I love the guy, but that's just funny! (I should say 'hair piece')
A paper knife?
a baker's instrument
i remember that commercial...
It was an advertising gimmick.
Billy Crystal looks like a 12 year-old there.
Butch Patrick said he had to chase Charles away after he started getting a bit too friendly on Liddsville.
Donald Trump needs to up his game to keep up with Charles Nelson Riley.
I love CNR, but what the hell is on his head?
You talking about his hair piece he was balding early he doesn't wear it later in life.
Mckenna Lester he gave it to a bald guy in one of his audiences, I heard! 😂
There’s a great match game clip out there where he rips off his toupee and puts it on a bald contestant. CNR was hilarious. I wish they had guys like him around nowadays. Just an entertainer and a storyteller.
Scott LaMont I finally saw that clip...it’s on CZcams somewhere! 😂
He was balding early so he wore hair pieces the earlier ones were sewn in this is not its actually adhesive hair glue you can tell it doesnt match all the time but its fitted
Carson wore the worst looking clothes ever worn by an American male. And then he marketed it. Amazing. Absolute trash.
Elvis's clothing looked like Chanel or YSL couture by comparison!
You're showing your youth. Back in the '70s those styles were considered fashionable. Stores sold this stuff by the truck load.
A lot of plaid and checks! Very unfortunate, as were many styles of the 70's!
During this time my uncles wore Bell bottoms and platform shoes.
