Charles Nelson ReillyCharles Nelson Reilly, actor and gameshow guest extraordinaire, died Sunday in Los Angeles of complications from pneumonia. Reilly was a Tony-award-winning stage actor, did a lot of voice-over work, and appeared on film and television for five decades. But I know him from his outlandish appearances on the greatest of game shows, Match Game.

Here’s a clip of CNR taking over for host Gene Rayburn:

Thanks for the memories Charles. You’ll be missed.
