PotLuck Saturday: Paul Lynde, KISS & the Wild World of 1970s TV
Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Paul Lynde, the Wicked Witch of the West, Witchiepoo, Pinky Tuscadero, and KISS. We revisit The Paul Lynde Halloween Special, with Margaret Hamilton, Billie Hayes, Tim Conway, Betty White, Florence Henderson, Donny and Marie Osmond, and a young KISS making one of their earliest television appearances. We talk about Paul Lynde’s career, Hollywood Squares, Bewitched, Bye Bye Birdie, and why he was everywhere on television in the ’70s. We get into two iconic witches sharing the screen, Roz Kelly’s rise and fall as Pinky Tuscadero, Bruce Vilanch’s variety-show writing, and the days when everyone on TV was expected to sing, dance, and do a little bit of everything. Plus, the CB radio craze, Tim Conway playing a trucker, Billy Barty, old Hollywood stories, and sketches that seemed to have absolutely nothing to do with the holiday. We talk about The Star Wars Holiday Special, the golden age of ABC television, and the stars whose careers took some unexpected turns. It’s a Pot Luck Saturday with forgotten TV specials, behind-the-scenes stories, 1970s nostalgia, and a little rock and roll. Happy Saturday! We’ll Talk Shawtly!
