That, was one of the very few quiz shows I ever watched!

Sometimes, they'd often have me laughing so hard that I'd have tears in my eyes!

I'm sure it was rehearsed, but very funny, nonetheless.

Thanks Peg!

One of my favorite questions / responses.....

I was young...home from school to eat lunch.....I was in 7th or 8th grade so I was a boy scout....

Peter Marshall: Paul, true or false: The boy scout guidebook advises boy scouts to sleep in the nude in their sleeping bags for maximum warmth?

Paul Lynde: depends if they are in the same tent as the Scout master!
It was one of the first times anyone had mentioned stuff like that on televison while i was watching!!1 I was floored!! I think I spit out my soup!

LOl I used to watch this so many years ago, and it never failed to make me laugh. We kids loved it because it was a "Slight" bit dirty(Dirty for the standards back then) The best thing is, it was live, and you never Knew what they could come up with, totally impromptu...:eek:
Thanks Peg for the laughter again. :}
