Paul Edward Lynde (; June 13, 1926 – January 10, 1982)^[1][2] was an American comedian, actor and game show panelist.

A character actor with a distinctively campy and snarky persona that often poked fun at his closeted homosexuality, Lynde was well known for his roles as Uncle Arthur on Bewitched, the befuddled father Harry MacAfee in Bye Bye Birdie and a regular "center square" panelist on the game show The Hollywood Squares from 1968 to
