Indeed. I used to work with a guy who was, if you can picture this, a cross between George Bush Senior and CNR. He was a dead ringer for George Sr but acted JUST like CNR, without acting. Like, that was his natural behavior and he always had us in stitches without even trying. There was a one man show with CNR on Netflix years ago. I don't think it's there anymore. Let me see if I can find it on KZbin... Yep! Here's a playlist of it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2LKhYRrfN2bptk It's not only funny but surprisingly touching in places too.

As a youngster in Hollywood, perhaps 35 years ago, I was interested in learning to be an actor. I heard that Mr. Reilllly was teaching a class and I wondered if I could afford it. I called the phone number listed in the ad in the local theatre rag (Dramalogue) and left a message. I was VERY surprised when Mr. Reilly himself returned my call. As it happened, I couldn't afford even the very reasonable fee for his class, but we spoke for perhaps 15 minutes and the personal interest he showed in me and his genuine charm are fond memories.
@ddburrows9884 жыл бұрын
I thought about taking his class, about 30 years ago, which was held on Wednesday evenings in a small theater in the Valley. I was so tempted. I’m sorry I didn’t make that call, that would have been a huge treat, if I had gotten to speak with CNR. Thanks for telling your story.

I knew of him growing up as a kid from watching Match Game. Much later I saw him in a little theater doing Save It For The Stage. Side note-while standing outside waiting for the doors to open Lonnie Anderson showed with a guest. Anyway, Save It For The Stage was an autobiographical one man show. Very entertaining, in part of his show he explained the differences of what actors had to go through to become actors in his day as opposed to modern days. I realized what a talented actor he truly was. Glad I went to see his show, Reilly died a few years later.

@mrdonutswildride78083 жыл бұрын
He has an incredibly dry style of humor. I dont even know if dry is the right word but there is some intangible style to CNR that seems impossible to duplicate in the 70s. But listen to modern comedy podcasts today and the big figures in that show business all have that same style. But Carson just always played the straightman to all the characters that come on his show, and plays into their bit. Its why Carson is the paragon of talk show hosts, it doesnt matter who came on the show or what bit they were doing, Carson found a way to play off them. And then there were folks like your Game Show celebrities who played ball in an ensemble and were beloved for it, perhaps as not on their own. Thats kind of how CNR worked. Regardless, its a dynamic that rings even more clearly in 2021. And why we still find ourselves so sorely missing the both of them.

Billy DeWolf, Liberace, Paul Lynde and Reilly all played a rather complicated role with respect to how Amercans saw gay men. On one hand, they were 'allowed' into our collective conscienceness as 'gay' entertainers as non-threatening examples of homosexuality because they stayed in the closet, albeit with the door cracked open. You are right they did not overtly say they were gay and refused to confirm their sexual orientation through their careers ( Reilly did come out officially in his late years with his autobiographical one man show in 2000) They were playing it coy, hinting at something they never embraced professionally, because it worked for their careers. But it also perpetuated some stereotypes of the fey gay man , flamboyant, witty, entertaining but rather frivolous people. Often they were the first 'gay characters' we allowed into our homes and lives and that alone broke major boundaries, shoulders on which others could later stand.

"Say goodbye to Match Game '79" CBS didn't even let MG79 tape an official finale; just pulled the plug and left 3 weeks unaired. 😩

Just occurred to me how often Johnny is channeling Bob Elliot :) Two words for B&R fans - Barry Campbell.

Interesting that you wrote this. I'm sure others agree. I always liked the show but greatly disliked the character he played as a child. I don't think I disliked him, just the character. And I understand why now: the character was always bad, always greedy, always foolish. When I see it now, I understand he was comic relief because everybody else played very straight and serious. But still, there was no dimension to his character (usually), and I think it was unfair to him as an actor. Well, that was TV in the late 60s, I suppose. I was surprised and pleased when I noticed that he went on to directing stage plays and opera. Also, he doesn't have to explain that he was born in The Bronx. He still had a distinct NYC regionalism. That's my two (hundred) cents!

@@kenhurley4441 Me, too! He was so self deprecating. He was doing his best to make some lemonade here. When I first saw him addressed as CNR in this thread, it caused me to think of a chain of local restaurant named Chicken 'n Rice. Kinda' cute. He wasn't a slouch. This was just one of those things. I'm sure it was humiliating. He took it like a trooper.
