Rip Taylor is trending and I am here for it!!

Him, Charles Nelson Reilly, and Paul Lynde. The trifecta!

The Merv Griffin/Mike Douglas After School generation approves this post.

I was happy until I saw the reason why: Some idiot on Fox News said Tim Walz was Rip Taylor (as if that's a bad thing), so they're using it to mock Walz.

I remember him from the Gong Show, and the $1.98 Beauty Show!

Still sorry I didn’t go to see him when he was in residence at the Debbie Reynolds Hotel and Casino. But I did buy his T-shirt there as a gift for my sister.

Brilliant. Does she have it still?

Not a single time that I watched this man growing up did he ever not make me laugh.🤣😍😍😍❤️

He was always outrageous, and set a new standard for being himself with his comedy. He could joke about anything.
