The New York Times is reporting that Charles Nelson Reilly, of Match Game fame and a frequent guest on the Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, among other things, passed away on friday at the age of 76 from complications of pneumonia. He was also in the original broadway production of How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, where he played Bud Frump, for which he won a tony award.
I am so sad to hear about this, although most game show fans (myself included) knew that this was coming because we all knew that he had been sick for a while. He was one of the funnest people on Match Game. My condolences to his family and friends, including Brett Somers.
