Paul Lynde doing local weather report

Just found a great clip of Paul Lynde doing some city's local weather report. Why did I never see this before? He was so innately funny. "It's 69 in Seattle?"

So, I've been thinking: After a while we all probably know someone, somewhere who has at some point done something mildly interesting. At least, I hope we do. But have you ever given any thought to who may be the scariest person you have ever met? I have. Yes, because when I'm not spending all my free time baking whole wheat things and hand-sewing doll clothing for my kids.
