Peter Marshall Is Dead To Me

He was of the pervy game show host type like Gene Rayburn.

LA COCK!

Peter Marshall.

That's sad. He was pretty active on social media to the end and his interview on the Gilbert Gottfried podcast was amazing. He told the story of going to a strip club (or a swingers' club; I can't remember) with Paul Lynde and Karen Valentine.

Paul: "This place smells like pussy — I think."

He was certainly no Chuck Woolery.

When I was little, I had heard about the preacher Peter Marshall and the book and movie “A Man Called Peter.” I always wondered why he ended up on a game show.

R4, that reminds me of a punchline Paul Lynde told pertaining to a Hollywood Squares question. The question was something to the effect of the champagne coupe (or brandy snifter) was modeled in the shape of Marie Antoinette's breast. Paul answered yes, and we can thank Kare (Valentine) for the shot glass. Karen was present and the look on her face was priceless.

The last of a group of Huntington (WV) High school classmates that made it in show biz in the 1950s: Soupy Sales, Dagmar, Joanne Dru and her brother Peter Marshall

Dead!

Soupy Sales is dead? Oh thank god.

My friend's mother had a much-desired and valuable Peter Marshall commemorative plate. Franklin Mint, I think.

He had a bad case of COVID which probably impacted his overall health. Still he lived another 3 years.

At least Penny died first. This would have ruined her world if he died before her.

Awww! I first saw him in Annie.

I guess there's going to be no Marshall Tucker Band reunion?

Hollywood Squares was quality comedy.

Paul Lynde to block.

Susan Dey for the win!

I had a crush on Peter Marshall back in the 60s. I imagined he had a very hairy body. Maybe that's what I was hoping...

He has what I'd call a classic "game show host" look - like Chuck Woolery.

Handsome, but not GQ model handsome or old Hollywood handsome. A very Sears catalog, commerical handsome.

Paul Lynde, define unsatisfied.

You're a a hungry newborn and your mother is Audrey Hepburn.

When an in-memoriam thread for Peter Marshall turns into a Paul Lynde tribute thread.

[quote]GGACP celebrates the birthday of actor, singer and former “Hollywood Squares” host Peter Marshall (b. March 28) with this CLASSIC presentation of an interview from 2016! In this episode, Peter regales Gilbert and Frank with irresistible stories about Redd Foxx, the mob, Glenn Ford, Uncle Miltie’s “apparatus” and Charlie Weaver’s (and Vincent Price’s!) sexual proclivities. Also, Peter croons with Bing, tours with Bob Hope, gets roasted by Orson Welles and runs afoul of John Wayne. PLUS: Al Jolson schmoozes! Phil Silvers does “Who’s on First”! Gilbert ticks off Marlon Brando! Peter and Nanette Fabray hit a nudie bar! And the definitive version of the Paul Lynde/Golddiggers story!

He was waiting for Gena Rowlands to go first.

Kathy Garver is going to be next.

That's two (Gena Rowlands, Peter Marshall). Dick Van Dyke best sleep with one eye open if he wants to scare off the Grim Reaper.

Damn. I thought he died a long time ago. I really did.

Loved his overbite.

Does Jack Russell count as #3?

There have been a number of celebrity deaths in the past few days, probably enough to do two threes.

RIP, Peter Marshall. You were a class act and a classic.

As Georges in "La Cage aux Folles"

I'm surprised he was married thrice, and had children. I thought for sure he was gay.

I damn well hope so.
