Time for a chuckle
If you remember the original "Hollywood Squares" and it's comics, this may
bring a tear to your eye. These great questions and answers are from the
days when "Hollywood Squares" game show responses were spontaneous and
clever, not scripted and (often) dull, as they are now. Peter Marshall was
the host asking the questions, of course.

A. George Gobel: I don't know, but it's coming from the next apartment.
-----------------------
Q. As you grow older, do you tend to gesture more or less with your hands
while talking?
A. Rose Marie: You ask me one more growing old question Peter, and I'll
give you a gesture you'll never forget.
-----------------------
Q. Paul, why do Hell's Angels wear leather?
A. Paul Lynde: Because chiffon wrinkles too easily.

I remember this program quite well... And even some of those questions and answers!!
I always wondered about the answers... If the esteem panel was privy to the questions ahead of time.
As funny and impromptu each of the panel members was, I kinda figured that they might have had a list of the questions that were going to be asked and they had to come up with their own answers... Not knowing who was going to be asked the question...
 
the great thing about shows like this is that the humor was light hearted and just naughty enough to make you grin but not feel dirty. it wasn't mean or outright indecent like the garbage they put out nowadays. the subtle stuff is always funnier in the end - instead of something nasty, obscene, mean and/or outright stupid with a laugh track behind it.

if i sound like your grandpa...i'm 33, i'm just am very aware of how trashy our entertainment options have become in the last 25 years. give me andy griffith and bonanza over CSI and programs about slutty or gay new yorkers!

I've seen some programs about this over the years, and yes they knew the questions and answers in advance. Just by watching it was hard to tell though.
