End-of-week H/H match recap: ... There were only 4 H/H matches this week , but 3 were successful: Richard 3/4 (On Thursday the contestant struck out in the audience match) So it was all Richard for the H/H match again this week, meaning no change in stats for anyone else: Patti Deutsch has matched once in her two attempts so far. Patty Duke Astin has been selected once, but didn't match. Scoey hasn't yet had a chance to play the head-to-head. Looking ahead, the panel is full of familiar faces once again next week: --Patti Deutsch extends her stay to a second consecutive week. (Fannie has done that twice in the past, but it's still rare for a semi-regular to do a two-week stretch.) --Orson Bean is back for his tenth week (out of 16 total). He's only played the H/H match 4 times, but he's matched all 4 and currently finds himself at the top of the leader board! --And we haven't seen Mary Ann Mobley for a while (not since episode 440). This will be her sixth week of ten total (always in the #4 seat). Like Orson, she has been chosen to play the head-to-head match 4 times, but has yet to score her first win. In today's action, we start right off with the H/H match earned yesterday by our returning champion who chooses the only celebrity who's played all week. Today's question: "______ Tracy" Another free money day? I suppose there's Spencer Tracy, but I think Dick Tracy is the obvious choice. The champion looks serene. Richard briefly scratches his head before writing, but files his card in the slot without hesitation. The contestant confidently gives her answer, matching me. But it's Richard's answer that counts... ... and Richard scores his 127th H/H match. Our champion quickly wins another game and makes a return trip to the Super Match round, earning a cool $500 in additional prize money, but the head-to-head is put on hold until week (it's rare to fit in two H/H matches in a single show -- 570, 541and 528 were the last three times we've seen that). Quick recap: Of the past 11 H/H matches, Richard has been chosen 9 times, matching 5. The other two attempts were by Brett and Sheldon Leonard, both missing. Richard now has the widest lead over Brett that I can remember, approaching 2 percentage points. They've traded places about 8 or 9 times in the accuracy rankings, but I'm wondering if this is it and Brett will never catch up to him again? Here's the updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: Orson Bean - 100% (4 wins in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 83.3% (5 wins in 6 attempts). TIE: Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Fannie - 52.6% (10 wins in 19 attempts). Betty - 46.9% (15 wins in 32 attempts). Charles - 45.2% (19 wins in 42 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 39.7% (127 wins in 320 attempts). Brett - 38.0% (19 wins in 50 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 580, excluding the lost/missing episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325. (As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library. Sadly, looks like they are lost forever!")
I love both Patty and Patti. Thanks for posting. BTW, I feel like SOMEone should point out that Scoey is playing a character. Like Charles (who switches characters), Richard, Elaine Joyce...
"The Ace Trucking Company" was an improv, sketch comedy group of the 60s and early 70s. I really don't remember them, though a Web search shows that they appeared a number of times on Johnny Carson and other popular shows of the day. I would say they were just not very memorable, but it seems that enough of the survey audience remembered them to put them on the list. Yet even Patti, who was one of the members of the group, seems surprised by this.
Johnny Carson had several characters that he created. The writers would create skits for him and various recurring members. Carnac, Aunt Blabby, Art Fern and the Teatime Lady were in addition to The Ace Trucking Company.
Slow week again but Richard sneak out to win it giving away 14,000 dollars in head to heads and audience match matches with 15 matches for the regulars. Patty Duke Astin won for the semi regulars with 10 matches. Brett and Charles gave away 250 dollars in audience match matches.
From 17:36 check out the quick look of disappointment on the contestant's face when she realizes Patti is up next. Luckily, for her, Ira gave Tassle (misspelled) Twirlers a match, and she won.
What other option was there if feet were excluded and they never give serious answers? Either boobs or buns. He lost because of the child answer and some bad luck when chosing the question,
Though I now am going to have a smile on my face as I sleep thinking about beautiful handsome Sam, I still honk he should have said ROBIN when asked ‘mugged by a’. Y’know... birds in the trees in the park!? Robins. ROB BINS!?!?!!?!
Anybody else notice how Patty ALWAYS gave BS non-related answers to questions for every BLACK contestant. I encourage you to go back & watch. 🚫 saying she didn't give funny answers every niw & again. But I notuce she did this 95% of the X to BLACK contestants.
It was a really tough choice for me between Dick and Spencer Tracy. I woulda said either mugged by a pigeon or a squirrel, that was unexpected even from Patti, mugged by a laid off airline pilot, glad I wasn't drinking anything at that time, LMAO

That's his comedy schtick. If you catch him when he's not the center of the camera's attention, he's often laughing and joking with Brett, and Charles often cracks him up. When the camera is on him, he's kind of deadpan and sarcastic, a bit like a grim Bob Newhart.
"The Electric Company, a marvelous show!" I truly agree, Gene!
The first time I remember seeing the great Morgan Freeman was on the Electric Company in '71 ✌

Lauren would forever treasure the blue slip of paper with the word "Dick" on it.
Patti is so silly this week! I love her, she seems so happy and sweet
Patti Deutsch was awesome, funny, unique and loved her writing too.
Yay! Another week with Patti! ;0)
I love Charles (cake answer). What a sweetheart, and so funny.
Patti´s "Tassle Twirlers" made my day!

Match Game is so much fun however no, money cannot buy happiness
Lisa Velez
Says everyone who has no money!
In Hollywood they think it can.
Nope. It doesn't. But it can buy groceries, clothes and help pay the rent...which makes me pretty happy. So, I'll say close enough.
@@40bpaula Agree.
Idk but it's an easier life with money
Oh boy, Patti Deutsch is coming back again next time. She will do her best to prevent contestants from scoring, as usual.
I wonder if she would step up if she was chosen for the big money match. Anyway, I doubt anyone would choose her. But she is very funny.
@@francineviau7096 I take you never watched this show from the beginning
If Lauren was my teacher I would volunteered to clap the erasers.
19:10 “Eat Your Heart Out, Lily Tomlin!”
That got me then. Bit of a shame Tomlin never appeared on Match Game, I think she would have been good on it.
Buzzr skipped - Gene's Indian accent and/or the bus references between Gene and Scoey?
Must be a new skip because it isn't on the skip guide I have.. I wonder why they decided to start to skip it..
Richard is always cool and collective when he's chosen. 😎
Love Patti's answer for the mugging question!
16:54 😂 I love it when Charles goes butch 😆 Oh man, MG '75 was the best!
Lol...my girl, Patty. ...mugged by an out-of-work airline pilot!
Still never 2 guy contestants at the same time.........

Good one, but we could all think of witty things ten minutes after we said the un-witty thing that first occurred to us.... : )
Also love the colours Brett is wearing. Groovy!
Sam had beautiful eyes. and I hope he found work soon after this 😒

Scoey Mitchell. Seems to have a major chip on his shoulder. Weird.
