Hollywood Squares:
These great questions and answers are from the days when ' Hollywood
Squares' game show responses were spontaneous, not scripted, as they are
now. Peter Marshall was the host asking the questions, of course..

(The audience laughed so long and so hard it took up almost 15 minutes of
the show!)


Q . Do female frogs croak?

while talking?

A. Rose Marie: You ask me one more growing old question Peter, and I'll give

LOL...

I watched a segament on Carol Burnett today on YouTube... The elephant.. I have no doubt they all tinkled a little.
That was funny. But, can you imagine how much funnier some of these people could have been if they weren’t as censored as they were in those days.
