To quote the infamous SNL sketch starring Alec Baldwin and Will Farrell: "Charles Nelson Reilly, you were a DELIGHT". Contrary to what CNR thought, Yahoo!'s headline about his death reads: "Tony Award Winner Reilly Dies at 76". He was certain it would be all about the game shows

He was a fixture in my Saturday morning childhood. I watched game shows just to see him. His humor influences me even today. My son loves the Dirty Bubble.
His description of an incident at a hotel while burning incense still makes me giggle some 30 years later.
Bless you, Mr. Reilly. We love you and are sadder for your passing.

RIP Jose Chung in the one of the best X-Files episodes ever, and I didn't know he did the Dirty Bubble! That's sad.

Wow. What horrible news. I woke up this morning, feeling good since it's my birthday, and what do I find when I booted up the computer? "Charles Nelson Reilly Dies at 76." Talk about heart-wrenching. Very, very sad day for Match Game fans (like me), and game show fans in general.
He will be missed.

You will be missed Charles, I remember growing up watching reruns of the Ghost and Mrs Muir, and Matchgame and with his colourful style always would make me laugh. the world will not be the same.

Thanks for being such a special fixture of my childhood. CNR and Brett Sommers were the best duo on TV in 70s. You will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace, Charles. I was so sad to hear of your death this morning. I liked you so much! We'll miss you. Thanks for all the laughs and smiles. The other side is a little brighter now, it has you and Gene Rayburn.

I once read that he was one of the survivors of the Hartford circus fire in 1944.
Gonna miss him.

His character on the X-files was cool. Alec Baldwin did a great impression of Charles Nelson Reilly on Saturday Night Live.

It's weird to be that affected by the death of someone you did't know but I'm really sad. I guess it's a testament to his art and the way he touched us. It's trivial I know because he will keep living for us through his work whereas his loved ones have lost him forever but I'm glad I'll be able to enjoy his great performances over and over again. He made me smile like very few can.
Another little light goes out and the world grows a little darker still
RIP Mr Chung.
