I loved him in Bewitch...super funny.
I was reading about him and his quick wit the other day. Since this thread has been populated with fairies I wanted to include him for his remark.

"Paul Lynde was an actor in the 60's and 70's. You'd know his voice from the rat Templeton in "Charlotte's Web", and his face as Uncle Arthur on Bewitched. He was queer as a three-dollar bill, but it wasn't publicly acknowledged in that era. Everyone knew, and it was hinted at openly by Lynde, but never quite stated.

He was frequently on "The Hollywood Squares". The format of this show was that there was a tic-tac-toe board with a celebrity in each one. The host would ask a question of the celebrities in each square. They would answer the question, and could make up a false answer. The contestants had to decide if the answer was correct or not. If the contestant was correct, they could put their X or O in that square.

Paul Lynde had a twisted sense of humor. His initial snap answer to any question...well, priceless. Here's some of them.

Q: Which is better looking, a pixie or a fairy?
Lynde: I'll go for the fairy."
