RIP CHARLES NELSON REILLY
Jack Lemmon and Steve McQueen were New York acting school contemporaries of the acclaimed stage star and director named...blank.
The Match Game answer is: Charles Nelson Reilly.
FROM E! ONLINE:
Reilly, whose award-winning theater career was overshadowed by his knack for filling in the blanks with punchlines on Match Game and other TV game shows, has died of pneumonia, his partner told Monday's New York Times.
The actor-director passed away last Friday in his Beverly Hills home, Patrick Hughes told the paper. Reilly was said to have been in failing health for more than a year. He was 76.
For the uninitiated, the Game Show Network offers everyday proof of why Reilly was as much a part of the 1970s as the pet rock. The Internet Broadway Database offers evidence of a career that was much broader than his banter with Brett Somers suggested.

Never boring, always ruling. One of my major TV fairy godmothers, along with Paul Lynde and Rip Taylor. These queens made a lot of folks squirm in their barcaloungers. Even homosexualists gagged.
Power to the poofters!
