From the old show, who was your favorite on the original Hollywood Squares?

Question

Besides Paul Linde?

Mine was George Gobel(sp.).

Wendy, I am thinking that Whoopi probably watched the original show as a kid, because she definitely wasn't old enough to be on the original show.

Answer 1

Cliff Arquette aka Charlie Weaver.

Answer 2

The key word is "original" HS. My fav was Charley Weaver. I watched that show religiously. The set was well seasoned with great stars & I loved playing along as the questions were asked. Paul Lynde was another fav but Charley was "my guy." I loved how he dressed. His humor was awesome. Wally Cox was funny too. Peter Marshall was a great host. There were a total of 139 stars who graced HS when Peter Marshall was host.
