Great clip, anybody that could stand that close to Eva Gabor and stay gay has gotta be dedicated to the dick.;p

hellifiknow,
, that's dedication ,

I remember him from a show called "The Ghost and Mrs Muir"

watching all sitcoms in the 60's I was so young .I didn't even know He and Paul Lynde were gay ,( I didn't know what gay was ) back when some shows were still in Black n' White.

I'm so sorry this guy passed. He was smart and funny in a kind way and we're all better off that he was around. It would have been great if he and Paul Lynne had done a duo of "What's the matter with kids these days" from "Bye bye Birdie".

walrusjk,

I wish I could mimic that stammering laugh. He had the coolest laugh...

[bcddjjsc690]

mojones,
yes he did have a trademark laugh,here's a couple samples of it in action ,like when Lucy asks for her money back.
