I was saddened this morning to read that one of the most entertaining celebrity game show contestants of all time had passed away on Friday. Charles Nelson Reilly had provided Cheek and myself with numerous hours of entertainment while watching Match Game during our college years on the Game Show network. CNR was such a funny character that Saturday Night Live made a skit about him during the 2000-01 season with Will Ferrell as James Lipton and Alec Baldwin as CR. This skit of "Inside the Actors Studio" provided America with a new word -scrumtrilescent. Today is a somber day when the world is now missing one of the most flamboyant actors America has ever seen.
