Wayland Flowers

Madame in the center square of Hollywood Squares Madame was a bawdy old grande dame with a filthy mind, and Flowers gave her brazen double entendres that landed harder coming from a puppet than they would from a person. The best place to see her is Hollywood Squares, where she took over the center square after Paul Lynde and could fire off a zinger in a few seconds. The 1982 syndicated sitcom Madame's Place lasted one season and is more curiosity than classic. Grown-up humor throughout, though innuendo rather than anything explicit.
