Although The Hollywood Squares was a legitimate game show, the game largely acted as the background for the show's comedy in the form of the "zingers", or joke answers, often given by the stars prior to their "real" answer.

Paul Lynde, in addition to his recurring role as "Uncle Arthur" on Bewitched, had his greatest fame as the featured (and, in tic-tac-toe, tactically important) "center square" throughout most of the original show's run. On October 14, 1968, after two years on the show, Lynde became the regular center square. Lynde's outrageous (and sometimes kinky) zingers helped him win two daytime Emmy Awards, in 1974 and 1978.

I like it. Where did Jim J. Bullock sit? I wanna sit in his spot. I enjoy my row though - good company!

I don't feel entirely comfortable with my position. Could I switch places with omar?

Perhaps I can be the avuncular host.

Ned, you can host the ilx gong show that is on immediately afterwards.

Do you really think you could pull of avuncular, Ned? Let's do a test run with some rent-a-nephews.

With JBR as Jaye P. Morgan, Tombot (RIP) as Jamie Farr, and...oh hell, I'll play Phyllis Diller.

I think nabisco and Whiney should be judges on the ilx gong show.

Ned could ace avuncular. Having mastered affable, he's more than halfway home.
