TV Quote of the Day (‘The Hollywood Squares,’ on IRS Audits)

Peter Marshall: "According to the IRS, out of every 10 Americans audited, how many end up paying more taxes?"

Paul Lynde: "11."—Attributed to The Hollywood Squares (daytime series running 1965 to 1980)

I have been unable to find the exact episode in which this appeared, but no matter: Paul Lynde appeared so often (more than anyone except host Marshall and announcer Kenny Williams) on the game show during its run (usually as the “center square”), that I see little if any reason to doubt that he said this.
