Did they ever call him Chaz Nelson Reilly?
"The thing that's funny is that everyone thinks I'm dead." - Charles Nelson ReillySadly, now everyone who thinks that Charles Nelson Reilly is dead will be right. Charles Nelson Reilly died on Friday, May 25. For those of us who sometimes turn on GSN to kill time and find themselves watching three hours straight of "The Match Game," this is sad news. And eerie news, too, since Kitty Carlisle, another fixture of The Match game, died just a few weeks ago. Shoot, if Betty White or Vicki Lawrence kicks the bucket soon, I'll start to think there's a curse afoot.
Reilly was one of the few openly gay individuals to be on television in the 1960s and 1970s, and though he once said that being on game shows ruined his career, he was also a Tony-award winning actor. He was also in the campy film "Gaydar," and a voice on Spongebob Squarepants. Who knew!
Anyway, a light posting for Memorial Day. Have a good holiday, folks!

He was the voice of a character named "The Dirty Bubble." He was also in an episode of The X-Files back in the day. Charles Nelson Reilly...a "jacket" of all trades! Bwahaha.
