Hollywood Squares Do you remember the Original Hollywood Squares and its comics. These great questions and answers are from the days when 'Hollywood Squares' game show responses were spontaneous and clever not scripted and dull, as they are now. Peter Marshall was the host asking the questions.
Q. Do female frogs croak? A. Paul Lynde: If you hold their little heads under water long enough.
Q. If you're going to make a parachute jump, at least how high should you be? A. Charley Weaver: Three days of steady drinking should do it.

I was only born in 66, but I can remember watching Hollywood Squares, The Munsters, F Troop and Laugh In. I think I've even seen some Hee Haw. Paul Lynde was a silly bastard.

To think that those replies were made without scripts is amazing. Horseradish on Grandpa's head was great.

The celebs may have seen the questions in advance to give them time to come up with these lines. It's all in the delivery. Making it seem spontaneous is an art form in itself that appears to be dying. Todays comics just don't have it.
OTOH, if the snappy replies were "off the cuff", which they very well may have been, it just goes to underscore the comedic genius of these people. We'll probably never see talent like that again in our lifetime.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.
