R.I.P. to Chair #3...Charles Nelson Reilly (1931-2007)

If you turn 40 this year and were anywhere near a television after school, you watched Match Game. It was fun to play, funny to watch, and, at age 8, you only got some of the jokes. :)

Match Game was Gene Rayburn, then Match Game was Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly. Their banter is the stuff of legends for improv comedy. It's a shame people don't appreciate what they did because it was on a "game show".

In 2002, Reilly, Somers, and Betty White looked back at this TV classic on the Early Show on CBS. Watch this video to appreciate the work of all three of them...

...as we say so long and thanks to Charles Nelson Reilly.
