The Classic Hollywood Squares
February 3, 2002 6:17 AM Subscribe
The Classic Hollywood Squares is dedicated to that most raucous of celebrity game shows. We'll have none of that Bruce Vilanch nonsense here. I'll take Paul Lynde to block, Peter.
Bali ... ya just made my Christmas card list!
I remember seeing this before; but very nice to find it again (and bookmark the sucker!) They've added alot of new stuff too, I see. All the later iterations of the original show have been too painful to endure.
Peter Marshall: When you pat a dog on its head he will usually wag his tail. What will a goose do?
Paul Lynde: Make him bark.
My personal favorites (going from memory):
Peter Marshall: What did Napoleon's troops do with leftover milk?"
Paul Lynde: Put it back in the cow.
Peter Marshall: Tickling an alligator's stomach has a curious effect on him. What does it make him do?
Paul Lynde: It makes him eat you.
Peter Marshall: What does Elizabeth Taylor consider her greatest asset?
Paul Lynde: Her left one.
Peter Marshall: Charley, how high should you be before jumping out of an airplane?
Charley Weaver: I've always found that 3 or 4 days of steady drinking works for me.
Peter Marshall: Zsa Zsa Gabor says she's never done one of these, but would like to try.
Rose Marie: About all I can think of is vikings or furry animals.

Peter Marshall: Paul, what profession is the most common for prostitutes after they retire?
Paul Lynde: Smuggling!
