Bonus video: Running up That Bill
Hello there! This week I (and my assistant, Molly the dog) have some stories for you about the time that Charles Nelson Reilly got his revenge on NBC for cancelling his show by running up a HUGE bill at a very pricey hotel. And speaking of hotels, check out this ad campaign from the mid-70s that looks today like it's trying to lure customers into an unusually saucy gay cruising spot. Also, Rip Taylor before he found the confetti is a strange sight to behold.

That gay baby day being January 13, when I happen to be catching up on these…. So weird. Coincidence but weird
Young Rip Taylor is really cute
Fun story about them running up the hotel bill. And I'm looking forward to purchasing your next book. Take care, Matt
Hey Matt! Has anyone shown you this yet? Wierd Al did a song called CNR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLnapb-30hA
I could see Charles liking this vid.
I'm sorry I didn't hear a word you said, too busy squealing over Molly! 😉 I'm excited for your book and so jealous of the sunset!
Found this documentary on the Match Game. No interview with Charles, but a few good stories about him.

Argh ok try now, i think it should be working -- Vimeo just changed a bunch of settings
Aw, I love my weekly catch-up/behind the scenes with Matt and his impossibly peaches-and-cream complexion on my screen!
