Charles Nelson Reilly Facts
Reilly's openly gay TV persona was quite ahead of its time. He recalled a network executive telling him, "They don't let queers on television." In rebuttal, he was a game show fixture on such shows as "The Match Game" (1962) and "The Hollywood Squares" (1965); was a guest on the "The Tonight Show" (1962) with Johnny Carson more than 95 times; earned an Emmy nomination for his second-banana work on "The Ghost & Mrs. Muir" (1968) and appeared on Saturday morning children's shows such as "Lidsville" (1971).
Reilly was quite candid about the problems he had during the production of "Hello Dolly!", particularly with director Gower Champion and star Carol Channing. He did, however, have the benefit of playing opposite Eileen Brennan, who was playing the role of Irene Malloy, and later performed with her in a cabaret act.
''Weird Al' Yankovic' posthumously created and performed a song about 'Charles Nelson Reilly' entitled "C.N.R." in 2009.
