Rex Reed on 'To Tell The Truth'

[@jljnbj]

I was watching and said “Wow, that guy looks just like Rex Reed! Lol.

[@OhSankYouDoktor]

You people are nuts! Rex Reed is one of the nicest celebrities I ever met. He is down to earth, witty, and he has always been very encouraging to young talent. His bitchy persona is just that.

[@pianoman551000]

Encouraging young talent? Calling Melissa McCarthy insanely fat has NOTHING to do with her comedic talent as an actress. He's nothing but an old bitchy queen.

[@dagnabbit6187]

Good Song. ! I used to have an extensive record collection and although I never heard this I can tell you there are lots of songs & Artists from , rockabilly, blues , well America circa 50s to early 60s that never made icon status but are very good

[@moorlock2003]

Rex Reed has always been right on with his reviews. He's the one film critic I trust 100%.

[@C2H6Cd]

This is the guy who maxed out idiocy by telling factual errors in his reviews? Nice

[@pianoman551000]

Then YOU must not go to movies very often if you use Rex's reviews for a guide.

[@ChadQuick270W]

Another great episode of classic TTTT with Bud Colyer hosting and Johnny Olsen announcing. Thanks for sharing with us and reminding us how good Game Show Network used to be.

[@MGG75]

He is still going strong at the ripe old age of eighty! He'll be 81 in July!

[@alphadogstudio]

He played in the band mentioned in sweet home alabama "the swampers"

[@Mp25DIII]

2:22-funny she calls Rex "bobcat", Bobcat Goldthwait would do stand-up bits on Rex Reed's intense hatred of him and his movies---"You'd think I'd burned his Diana Ross albums or something"

[@misterwhitman4368]

GROOVY!

[@rmm413c]

Having lived for a time in a rural (still culturally Southern) part of FL, I knew which man was it right off, in part because he was the only one with the proper accent. I guess to the pannel probably all Southern accents sound alike.

[@SuperWolsey]

Hmmm. Rex Reed look like he could be Adam Lambert's twin

[@Bobjb999]

That's great, eh! After I wrote my earlier post I was pleased to find a recent interview with Orson online, and a bunch of his funny, dirty jokes he tells in a series of short KZbin videos. He says his son in law persuaded him to record some of his fave jokes and put them on YT, many of them probably a bit too baudy for the Tonight Show of the '70s! Orson forever!

[@goback3spaces]

@ekocentric Saw Saarsgaard on Broadway in THE SEA GULL. Fantastic actor.

[@strawberryseason]

@MGG75 This looks like 1965, based on their styles.

[@UDIETHATWAY]

Orson is on Desperate Housewives - he plays the boyfriend of Mrs. McCluskey.

[@dagnabbit6187]

Yes Rex was and maybe still is an interesting movie critic and entertainment writer whose best years were in the 70's . He sort of lost out to Siskel and Ebert by not expanding his schtick ! I never cared for the way he bashed RockNRoll although Rex could surprise film fans like with positive reviews of the Exorcist and Clockwork Orange . Anyway if I am not mistaken Jimmy Walker was a huge influence on John Fogerty.

"ASS," I meant Rex Reed was a pompous ass!! (not "add" as I mistakenly wrote!) Sadly, I guess I'm an ass as well, if I cannot spell. ;)

[@evadunn3132]

He does look like Adam

[@MGG75]

I wonder what year this was taped, cause Rex was born in 1938, he looks like he just came out of high school...LOL!

[@333gv]

Sorry, I said "he" meaning it was sad that Rex Reed was on the Gong Show. Paul Lynde was on Hollywood Squares for years and he was FANTASTIC. I remember watching him when I was young. He had a sarcastic sense of humor, but he was also self-deprecating. Rex Reed was just a pompous add when I vaguely remember seeing him in the 1970's. He was never able to make it as an actor, I guess. Now-a-days all he does is insult young actors/actresses since he never made it himself when he was their age.

[@jonvater8424]

This was rigged... Jimmie Walker was a tall, very skinny black man!! ;-)

[@linkbiff1054]

But no denying this was dy-no-mite!

[@MrMatteNWk]

No, Jimmie Walker was the mayor of New York

[@333gv]

Oh, God, isn't it so sad that he had to lower himself to be on the Gong Show years ago? I just found that out.

[@TheSlowdream101]

Didn't they recognize Rex Reed as the bitchy movie critic and columnist?
