So sorry to hear of his death. He was not just hilariously funny, but a brilliant director and great patron of the theatre and opera.
I'm really pleased to know that he had a partner through the last year of his life and so sad that that partner is now widowed. While I don't know him at all, he has all my best wishes and condolences. -

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.

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.
