		Lynde's brother died in the Battle of the Bulge -- one of the coldest, snowiest wars in history, and one of the worst battles in terms of losses to American forces in World War II.
		Lynde was too much of an ambling, shambling queen to play the role of an uptight attorney-slash-family-man. Script writer Ed Jurist noted that "all Lynde had to do was moan 'Oh, my knees' and he'd get a roar." The show was cancelled after one season, throwing Lynde's drinking problem into high gear.
		Paul Lynde arrested in Salt Lake City outside of a gay bar, which ended his career on The Donny and Marie Show.

	Paul Lynde - Biography - Moviefone
		Biting, sarcastic comic actor Paul Lynde made his Broadway debut in Leonard Sillman's New Faces of 1952, which was transferred to film virtually intact in 1953.
		By the time Lynde was cast as the long-suffering father in the 1961 Broadway play Bye Bye Birdie, he had slimmed down considerably and his comic gifts had sharpened to a fine point.
		Funny in small doses, Lynde's screen character was a bit too much to take on an extended basis, though he was very funny in the recurring character of Uncle Arthur on the '60s TV sitcom Bewitched, and, after several busted pilots, managed to survive a full season with The Paul Lynde Show in 1972.

	Paul Lynde
		Paul Lynde, by his own admission, was the least favorite son of a sheriff turned butcher and his wife from Mount Vernon, Ohio.
		Lynde denied that the ‘zingers’ he cast out on Hollywood Squares were ghosted (written) written for him, yet by 1979 his belligerent alcoholic antics got him removed from the set and by that point not only did they have to give him the answers to the questions but the jokes as well.
		The first term that comes to mind while reading about the life he led is ‘tragic’ but to use that term one has to suppose there is a hero at the heart of this life and Paul Lynde was not by any definition, a hero.

		The Paul Lynde Show was a short-lived ABC television series starring Paul Lynde from 1972 to 1973.
		It is perceived that the sitcom was created in order to hide the fact that Lynde, then best known as the highly flamboyant center square on The Hollywood Squares, was a homosexual thus they decided to give him a show in which he played father to a family.
		However, by this time it was very clear, despite the fact that Lynde never personally said or even confirmed he was gay, that the actor was indeed homosexual purely based on his actions.

		In appropriate fashion, a “Paul Lynde impersonator” was invited to join the biographers on their odyssey, but he was deemed too “difficult” and subsequently dropped from the bill.
		Though Paul was huge on “Hollywood Squares,”; to most people he was just a character actor on a daytime game show, not worthy of the same kind of ink reserved for movie stars.
		Paul not only made a great and singular contribution to pop culture, but his going out there every day on “Squares” and bringing gay humor to the masses was heroic, even if it was largely unintentional.

		It's a sad tale of an entertainer who achieved great financial success (in the 1970s, he made $50,000 a week performing in summer stock), but always thought his supporting roles were beneath him.
		Lynde's self-destructive drinking magnified his insecurities and frustrations, and fueled rages.
		What emerges is a memorable portrait of a man who reaped his share of wealth, enjoyed a fair amount of fame and basked in the adoration of thousands of fans-but paid a price in hardship, heartbreak and hangovers.

		But Lynde was a vicious drunk, using his sharp tongue to lash out with his boundless anger that was released by alcohol.
		"Paul Lynde" became a character that he could not escape from, with his snide remarks, smirks, and disdain for the rest of the world.
		Though the authors have clearly explored many sources and talked to variety of Lynde's associates, the fact that the man was extremely private may mean that anecdotes the book offers are, in fact, the only available insights into his character.

		However, Lynde's over-the-top comedic talents were largely wasted in a too-conservative and straightforward role.
		Chemistry between the main characters was somewhat lacking and many episodes had the misfortune of ending with the predictable crescendo of someone falling into Paul's pool, an event somehow funnier the first five times they used it.
		The Paul Lynde show lasted only one season (26 episodes), but Lynde continued as center square with great success on The Hollywood Squares for years to come.
