Carl Reiner 1922-2020
I'm sure you've seen on other sections of this website about the passing of comedy legend Carl Reiner at the age of 98. He also hosted three game shows.
The first was a short-lived game titled Droodles, based on Roger Price's cartoons in the early 50s. The second was in 1958 when he replaced a young Monty Hall as host of the celebrity panel game Keep Talking. Reiner's last hosting stint came in 1964 when he presided over the show that would be the forerunner to Hollywood Squares, The Celebrity Game. Even though the Heatter-Quigley game show had two short prime stints, Merrill Heatter like the idea of a game with nine celebrities and it led him to come up with Hollywood Squares. The show would run for 15 years in daytime and syndication with Peter Marshall hosting and it would earn him five Emmy Awards. May Reiner rest in peace. |
