Nipsey was involved during the golden age of gameshows...The 70's and early 80's. You would often see him gracing the sets of The Match Game, Password and later the $100,000 Pyramid.
This is a time that networks filled as many timeslots as possible on their channels with gameshows. And Nipsey was on some of the best.
Is there much better than seeing old clips of the Match Game...With Nipsey, Richard Dawson, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Riley and Gene Rayburn. With Richard sexually harrassing the female contestants in between cigarettes. Bret Somers hinting at Charles Nelson Reilly's homosexuality (is he gay...I really don't know. I mean I assume he is, but you know what happens when you assume)...and Nipsey with his poems and his comedic routines.
We'll miss you Nips...but even more...we'll miss the Genre, that you helped make famous!
