Bert Convy

I seriously thought that he was agay

I saw him in CABARET. Good voice.

Wasn't he considered for the male lead - Tony - in the film version of WEST SIDE STORY? Seriously!

He may have been married but I'll eat my hat if he wasn't gay.

I really like Bert Convy. He has a smallish role in what should be a DL classic: Susan Slade.

Always had a crush on him

Bert Convy sang on the Tonight Show in 1978.

I was never really attracted to Bert Convy, he always seemed just too pleasant and benign. (nothing wrong with that)

However, when he gives this really intense,," I wanna fuck you " stare to Cheryl Ladd in this clip from "Love Boat Angels" I realized he could definitely be sexy.

His daughter, Jennifer Convy - 3 Minute Host Reel

Everyone was sexy in that clip, R7, even Gavin MacLeod. Too bad he (and Smith) turned out to be nutters.

This is a new low.

R10 = Peter Tomarkin, wondering where HIS thread is

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (1979) Bert was in the TV movie.

Great head of hair.

Verificatia of sizemeat?

(Announcer whisper) The password is........flaming.

He and Burt Reynolds were bros back in the day, I used to come home from school and watch 'Win, Lose or Draw', which Convey hosted and Reynolds was almost always a guest star on, along with his coterie of pals: Charles Nelson Reilly, Dom Deluise and probably some other gay people who I can't remember right now. After Convey passed, Vicki Lawrence took over hosting duties. I always remember the closing credits V.O.: 'Win, Lose or Draw is a Burt and Bert Production!'

Reynolds was friends to a LOT of queens, both closeted and out. Burt and Bert Productions sealed the deal for me as far as deciding whether Convy was gay or not.

He shopped in my grocery store!

He was among that generation of celebrities who you always saw on television but you were never quite sure why he was famous, what his talents were, etc. It's like "Name a Bert Convy movie!" and no one could answer.

Nice body. Good looking guy.

This is his son, Jonah Convy.

Bump.

I wanked to a fantasy he starred in...

Why did Bert Convy and Anne Anderson divorce?

Always thought he was hot in a nice guy sort of way.

Before he was a host, he often guested on game shows. he was like Phyllis Newman and some others who were "famous" but it wasn't clear why.

He played Paul Revere on Bewitched when they visited Salem

I always thought of him as a Ken doll.

Bert Convy was a successful Broadway actor, having played Perchik in the original cast of Fiddler on the Roof and then the second male lead in Cabaret. Could have had a big career if he hadn't decided to be a "Quiz Master!"

Was he Jewish?

Bert was gay but did not feel the need to act upon it. The lifestyle was not so accepted then, so he chose to desire women.

No, he was NOT Jewish.

Convy is an Irish surname.

He's one of those British Isles descendants who for some reason people think is Jewish.

The Naughton brothers, James and David and actor James Woods also fall into that category.

The blandest guy ever.

As someone up above said - a Ken doll.

And like Ken, I suspect he has no penis.

Jill Haworth, who played Sally Bowles, loved working with him in Cabaret.

I saw him in both the original Fiddler and Cabaret. He was serviceable, bland, did the job, but was totally forgettable. He's fit right in with the stars on Broadway today.

I always thought he was sexy as hell.

Bert Convy seemed like the kind of guy who had a clean cut image. A family man with a wife. I don't know if he had any controversies surrounding him when he was alive.

Wasn't he rocking a perm in the '80s, I just remember thinking that he was good looking but the big hair seemed a bit dated and cheesy.

Helmet hair and massive honker.

That's why the dummy types assume he's Jewish

He played Tony Polar in the bad TV remake of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS 1980

He played Veronica Hamel's lover in the bad TV remake of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS 1980.

Notorious pussyhound. Big Bush supporter.

Bert Convy had his people let the folks at Saturday Night Live he was available to guest host. The folks at SNL never replied back.

He seemed like a nice guy. He and John Davidson seemed interchangeable at times.

The son? WTF with that video?

Great Idea. Let's start a rumor: Bert Convy and John Davidson were lovers.

He did win an EMMY award for Tattletales

He and Victoria Wyndham guested on the Mary Tyler Moore Show as husband and wife. Mary winds up dating Convy's character after Vicky's character leaves him. Good episode. Season 4, I think, because Rhoda was still around.

R50 it was Beth Howland (Alice) not Vicky Wyndham

Jennifer Convy Host/Producer Covering Legends LCDQ 2014 Event

He was a douchebag who was obsessively homophobic on his Win, Lose or Draw game show. Because he wasn't funny. The only way he could get laughs is by implying someone is gay, the height of 1987 hilarity. And no, I don't care that he was "cute" or the other defense would be that he was secretly gay. He was just a stupid, offensive creep.

Bert Convy on Why he Left Win, Lose Or Draw

[quote]The only way he could get laughs is by implying someone is gay, the height of 1987 hilarity.

Gay banter was standard for all game shows from 1973 through 1992. I don't recall him ever being mean or homophobic about it but if you have video of his crimes I'm willing to watch and see for myself.

Bert Convy On The Price Is Right

He was a BITCH.

W&W for R15

Tattletales - November 10, 1975

Is the son trying to ride his father's coat tails in Hollywood? Because maybe 10 people under the age of 50 know who Burt Convy is and I can't imagine the people who do remember him being too impressed by meeting or working with his son.

I'm sure that the son met Dom and Burt and the gang so it must sting to get booted from that world after your dad dies.

Here is Bert in his big movie role from "A Bucket of Blood". Roger Corman knew talent.

R42 well that and the fact that he was in productions like Fiddler on the Roof!

A lot of names get Americanized when families come over.

Im sticking with Jewish. He had that vibe in spades. (Irish? Yeah right) More sure if that than the gay thing.

At least Jennifer is not writing on her father's coat tails because she has done well for herself. Bert would have been proud of her.

"Aren't you Bert Convy's boy? Wow, I'd love to give you a job or invest in your acting career. I'm sure that you've got some of that ol' Bert Convy magic that will pay off at the box office!"

Bert had a raw sexual heat

[quote]Bert had a raw sexual heat

He was into barebacking?

Wasn't everyone in the 70s?

Match Game 1990 Pilot w/ Bert Convy

I always thought he died of AIDS.

He was extremely looking when he was very young. The Susan Slade days. Remained good looking. He seemed as dumb as a box of rocks though. Everytime he hosted a game show it was like it was the first time he did it. Especially Password Plus. Everytime he hosted you wonder if he's ever heard about the show. As good looking as he was he had zero sex appeal.

My older sister cried when he died. She had a huge crush on him in the 1970s and it never ended.

Almost cast as Barnabas Collins!

So many men who died in their 50s and not accidental: Convy, Michael Landon, Patrick Swayze, Bill Bixby, Bernie Mac, Steve Jobs, James Gandolfini, Luther Vandross...

To Tell The Truth (1968) (Hosted by Bert Convy)

he wore the highest pants ever

tightest no highest (lol!)

beautiful man

I think JFK Jr. would have grown up to look like Bert.

That could have been possible, r78.

Bump!

He shops at my grocery store!

R4, get the hat out. Convy was a womanizer.

What's with the weird ears?

I hated him
