RIP Charles Nelson Reilly

[Gn2Dlnd]

NOOOooooooo!

The Commodore and I are saddened, indeed.

From the E! obituary:

With apologies to Somers' giant glasses, and Rayburn's impossibly long microphone, Reilly cut the show's most distinctive figure, as he was often seen puffing a pipe, wearing a captain's hat and donning glasses even larger than Somers'.
...

"When I die, it's going to read, 'Game Show Fixture Passes Away,'" Reilly once said, per a Hollywood Stock Exchange review of Life of Reilly. "Nothing about the theater, or Tony Awards, or Emmys. But it doesn't bother me."
