S- Alright, y'all! This time, I'm here with the first Riddler. Frank Gorshin.

F- Hello out there!

S- Frank, a follower once asked us why you liked the three-piece suit better than the original Riddler costume.

F- The same reason Burt Ward didn't like his tights. The original costume was tight. And I couldn't stand the purple mask. In those days, masks irritated our eyes. You understand that?

S- Yes I do. But you liked being the Riddler either way, huh?

F- Yes. 

S- And do you know why John Astin replaced you for one episode?

F- I do. I needed a replacement because I had a nightclub act that I was unable to cancel. So I did it and John replaced me. 

S- Thank you, Frank.
