Well this just tears it. EXIT Theater announced today that it will replace the staged reading of Sean Owens’ Center Square, a one-man show based on the life of late comedian, Bye Bye Birdie star (Gah! Now "The Telephone Hour" will be crammed in our head day), and Hollywood Squares star Paul Lynde, after the San Francisco theater received a “cease and desist” letter last month from the licensee of the Lynde rights, Matzoball Entertainment LLC. Lynde, for those of you who don't know, was a homosexual B-list actor who, in 1965, was involved in an accident where his boyfriend fell to his death from the window of their hotel room in San Francisco's Sir Francis Drake Hotel.
Instead of Center Square, EXIT Theater will do a staged reading of Lee Kiszonas’, Capote’s Last Frontier, about the life of writer and drug/alcohol aficionado Truman Capote.

I love how Roger on American Dad is basically an alien version of Paul Lynde.
Those old Hollywood Squares shows are a hoot.
I thought Roger was Charles Nelson Reilley.
No, it's Paul Lynde. There's an interview w/Seth McFarland on one of the 'American Dad' dvds (I think- or I saw it on TV) where he talks about it.
Yes- I'm that big a geek...
No, thank you. These are important things to get straight.
These are important things to get straight.
"Straight" isn't a word one often hears when talking about Paul Lynde. Or Charles Nelson Reilly for that matter.
You're welcome!
The dreaded cease and desist from Matzoball Entertainment LLC. Shudder.
hey, man, you don't know. my grandmother made matzoballs as heavy as boulders.
Man, that stinks! Sean Owens always brings the funny and this would have been an amazing show!
