Wow, that is too bad. He was a very funny man. May he rest in piece.

A very funny man. I always enjoyed watching anything he was on.

Say "hello" to Bob Denver for me Charles.

Oh my heart sinks. I loved watching him and Brett Somers tangle on "The Match Game". Very sad day.....he was a very funny man - made me laugh quite often.

Sincerely, very sad to learn of this.

I also Loved him on Match Game!
He was a very funny man!
Rest in Peace. :angel:

Charles Nelson Reilly had a Disney connection too. He did voices for the Hercules and Goof Troop cartoon series on TV and in the 70s was a guest host on Disney's syndicated Mouse Factory.

Condolences to his friends and life partner.

Oh, this is so sad. Between MatchGame, Lidsville, Laugh-In, Love American Style and all the other shows he was in, he was a fixture of my childhood. Just thinking of him and his great sense of humor and timing brings a smile to my face. What a talent he was.

May he rest in peace.

He was a staple not only of Match Game, but virtually everey other classic game show, it seemed, in the 60's and 70's. Very funny man indeed. If they follow their past form, look for GSN to show a cluster of "Match Game" episodes in tribute within a week or two.

and "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir"

and in the original B'way companies of "Hello Dolly!" and "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying"

but hysterical on "Match Game"; I have often said, that my sense o' humor was cultivated by staying home sick once too often to watch "Match Game" in the afternoon: Charles, Brett Somers, Richard Dawson, Fannie Flagg, etc. Especially when Brett would give some off-the-wall answer and Charles would just look at her like she was crazy... or hinted that she drank (which they all did; they were all plastered by Friday's show - they shot the whole week's worth in one day, so by "Friday" they were smashed...)

I remember him being on the the old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson; the stories were so wonderful, and funny... he was an excellent story teller (I never got to see his one man show "The Life of Reilly" - he was performing it here in LA at the Falcon Theatre a few years ago - but everyone told me that the stories were priceless...)

What a huge loss; as a Director, and Actor, and as a Reconteur... my condolances to his partner Patrick...

Loved him on X-Files and as Hoodoo the Guru on Lidsville.

:( Rip

How sad, a very funny man. I met him a couple of years ago where I was working and he was just as wacky then as he was on all those TV shows in years past....quite a character. May he rest in peace.

That is so sad.:( I deiced to pop in my Lidsville set and watch the comedic genius that he was. R.I.P Charles

I was jsut listening to the original cast album of Hello Dolly the other day. I will always remember him however on the Match Game.

He will be missed.
