Peter Marshall original Hollywood Squares host

Real name Ralph Pierre LaCock...and what's wrong with that? Why would he change it?

His son, major league baseball player Pete LaCock chose to keep the original name.

His interview on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast is GREAT. He really spills it, including the time he, Karen Valentine and Paul Lynde went to a strip club (or swingers' club, I can't remember) ... which resulted in the all-time Paul Lynde line:

"It smells like PUSSY in here ... I think."

He did the Dick van Dyke role in the London Bye Bye Birdie with DL fav Chits Rivera. The CD was released a few years ago. He doesn’t have van Dyke’s comic gifts, but does have a more than passable voice—could have done fine in a different era, but he’s just didn’t really stand out. I always found him affable on HS.

Really, I have no idea why he would do something stupid like that, either(?)!

Now I have to look up that Podcast. It was a link abt Paul Lynde that reminded me of Peter Marshall and his wild sport coats.

Johanna Gleason is his daughter.

I feel you Johanna, but Joanna Gleason's father was Monty Hall.

What happened to all the groovy game show host wardrobe from the 1970s? Did they rent it from designers or what?
