Joan Collins' father introduced Richard in July 1958 to his first wife, Diana Dors. Joe Collins was a theatrical agent in London who had booked a 24-year-old Dawson into clubs as a standup comedian and liked him so much that he sent him out on tour with Diana. Richard and Diana were married nine months later. Diana and Joan had worked together in 1951 in the movie "Lady Godiva Rides Again."
There was another Super Match that was "ABBEY ___". When Abbey Road came up as the $100 response Gene and the whole panel except Richard were confused. Richard had to remind them just how big the Beatles were as he said "That sold about 8 million copies".
Considering Clapton had been in the Yardbirds, Cream, Derek and The Dominoes, solo work, I am really surprised no one knew who he was. Dawson is from England!
That was a hip audience. They knew who all the rock stars were, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, Neil Young, etc. Even if the panel didn't know who they were.
H/H match update: ... Here's the panel the winning contestants will choose from for their head-to-head matches this week: Scoey is back for his fourth week (out of 12 total). He hasn't yet been chosen for a H/H match. Maybe this will be his week. Semi-regular Patti Deutsch (42 weeks total) also returns. She's been chosen once, but didn't match. Will she get another shot this week? And Joan Collins makes her debut for her one and only week as a Match Game '7x celebrity panelist. It's not unheard of for a new face to be chosen for the H/H match. And of course we have our faithful regulars with their well-documented track records... ...and we kick off the week with a mild surprise (a contestant choosing anyone other than Richard is a mild surprise, especially since she called on Richard for the first audience match suggestion)... ... and no match today. Frankly, I was surprised. When Gene read the question, the first thing that came to my mind was "corn row" which I knew was ridiculous, and then I blanked for a moment before thinking of "front row" and decided that was my answer. When I heard the contestant give the same response, I was sure she'd win big. Sadly, no. 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 - 50% (9 wins in 18 attempts). Betty - 48.4% (15 wins in 31 attempts). Charles - 46.3% (19 wins in 41 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 39.1% (18 wins in 46 attempts). Richard - 38.8% (113 wins in 291 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 536, 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!")
but he also said to act but I guess it would have been a tie anyway if they took singing and tap dancing.. No, I'm sorry he would have won but he did say act but I don't know.. ;0)
@ Randy Hanson I agreed and looked him up. He wasn't as popular here in the states and enjoying only his second solo hit Album here in the US. He was far more popular in the UK in 1975 when the show was taped.
@@ronaldsteele6151 Most of these celebrities were from the generation of the Great American Songbook. Prior to his solo career, Eric had made his mark with several successful bands...most notably Cream & Derek and the Dominos.
Gene does acknowledge that. Eric Clapton was ubiquitous on the radio in 1970/71 was Derek and the Dominoes released Layla. But back in those days, older people really didn't pay much attention to "kids' music." My parents were younger than Gene and there was no way they could have identified Eric Clapton, even though his music was played in our house.
Eric Clapton's son went running in their hotel room and ran out of the window Not sure what floor but he died on the street of course his family was devastated
Rayburn and the panelists always proudly displayed their ignorance of rock music. At points in the 1974 and 1975 shows, one or more have never heard of Chuck Berry or Smokey Robinson, and they're mystified by an audience's answering "Sergeant" (blank) with "Pepper." On the other hand, they know in detail about pop singers few people cared about even then.
Not just music. There was an earlier episode in which the clue was "Blank Cleaver." The first thing I thought of was Beaver Cleaver from the old sitcom "Leave It To Beaver." When "Beaver" came up, no one got the reference. Charles (I think) even said it was a horrible thing to do to a beaver. Finally someone in the audience explained. That show was old enough that the whole panel should have known it.
What you don't understand is that rock 'n roll and rock were considered kids' music, and adults didn't pay attention to kids' music. Or much of kids' anything. End of. People grew up planning on being adults, looking forward to being adults, and then not looking backwards once they'd achieved adult status. That's the way it had _always_ been until the huge baby boomer generation made teens and barely-adults a social and economic force of consequence.
@@brachio1000 They'd probably actually heard of them, just not enough to remember them. They'd heard of the Beatles, maybe knew a first name or two, had heard a couple songs, _but it was not their music_ and maybe they even disliked it, so why would they pay attention to the name of an album? Are you fully aware of every hit and every big album in every genre since you turned 18?
@@LynxSouth: I get it. I never said I didn't. Still, it seems odd they didn't know of SERGEANT PEPPER seven years after the fact. I mean, they were in show biz, and they had kids. Beyond that, the pride they take in their ignorance irritates me although, yeah, I'm smug about, for instance, not knowing one hip hop performer from the next.
Clapton huge in '75. Blind Faith entered the charts at #1 a few years before. After that he scored hits with Delaney and Bonnie. Gene was flying a lot but that was before FM radio on the plane. Gene must have heard Sunshine of Your Love; he just didn't know who was in Cream....I'm sure Gene would have been jealous of Eric's Armani suit collection since he liked wearing semi-hip clothing for the older set.
@@justrelax1539 Since "Tears in Heaven" came out after his son's death in 1991, there's no way it would have been known on a 1975 game show. However, "I Shot the Sheriff" was a big hit in 1974 and was played a lot on top 40 radio shows
You mean to tell me that Richard Dawson, who is from England, had NEVER heard of Eric Clapton? WOW! The ONLY person to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 3x
Eric the Red was not Leif Ericson. Leif Ericson was the Viking who discovered America before Columbus. Eric the Red was a Viking explorer who established an Iceland settlement.
I’m sorry but I find the PC term ‘little people’ to be VERY condescending and degrading. What the heck was wrong with midget? WHY or how is that even offensive in the first place?? And on the subject of censoring or being Politically Correct... I happen to be not straight. (It’s definitely NOT a “choice!”). But I find the gay jokes and innuendos HILARIOUS! Words only have as much meaning to them as YOU give them. Sticks and stones seems to have been forgotten!
@@mj6962 God, how I wish there were more people like you in this world M J - this world has become so damn paralyzed by this PC BS in the past few years that's it's not even funny anymore. When people get pissy just because Richard Dawson gives a female contestant a kiss on "Family Feud" as a gesture of good luck, you know we're heading down the wrong direction!
I don't think it's so unusual. For the last twenty years I have paid little attention to the popular trends in music and I keep hearing of singers and groups that I've never heard of. When I say, "Who?" I got odd looks from any young people around me.
I'm not so sure her fiance was the father. That would have been SO unusual then. A few women had one child, but three was almost unheard of except for the roughest sort of people, which she's not. She may have been divorced or a young widow, and it was impolite for Gene to ask her about it on national television. If she'd wanted to talk about it, she already would have.
Patty Deutsch, Elaine Joyce, and Joyce Bulifant were all so ditzy on this show. They got some real winner celebrities. Joan isn’t the brightest bulb in the socket, either, with her responses.
This is equivalent to Kanye West’s fans not knowing who Paul McCartney was; when he and Paul worked on some music a couple of years back. The odds of these guys knowing who a rock star was was slim. Not everyone listen to rock back then, because it was considered the devils music by a lot of churches. Now these people also could be more into country western and pop was played more on a lot of TV shows as it is today. Eric Clapton May have been huge in the Rock scene, but doesn’t mean everyone in the entertainment industry would know or heard of them. I also believe Gene, lived back east probably in a rural area that probably didn’t play rock music on the radio.
Thank you, I probably couldn't tell you any music stars of today but give me the 70's, 80's, 90's I could probably. I get the feeling, also, that Gene didn't spend a lot of time inside, except during the winter months, and I don't believe portable radio were not around then.. But that is just me thinking..
Stephanie Lively also they were probably really into people like Dean Martin, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra because they were all in the 40s & 50s it’s unlikely they would be into rock like the Beatles even though the Beatles were huge in England and had a following of young girls, someone in their 40s would be into older music like Sinatra. Also those were the type of guest that visited the show. Bing Crosby son was a filler star on the top roll. So, again it’s possible very unlikely they may have heard of these people, but highly unlikely. Unless it’s a hip star or a young star visiting for the week. We have a tendency to assume people of that time should know everybody that’s famous especially since we now know these people decades later.
@@williammills5597 Thank you and sorry for the delay respond, watching too many episodes and getting nothing done.. ;0) That is what I was thinking, most people like what was big during their teens, I think, so, at least, Gene it would be the 30's or so. They all seems around the same age except for Charles and Richard who seemed to be around the same age. I don't know but that makes sense to me. Thank you.
No, it isn't. Paul McCartney has been around for decades, one of the best-known musicians ever who was with a globally recognized band. Gene took a minute to recognize the name of a guitarist who had had 2 pop hits in the US, in music played mostly for people 30-40 years younger than Gene. Few adults his age would have known Clapton even that well.
I just saw this episode on 10/23/19 and Patti Deutsch's answer "midgets" was blacked out. Political Correctness at its finest. Fuck, take me back to the 70s this new world order really sucks big time.
Eva Lu, Gene is not alone. This is the first time I heard of eric clapton and I'm 69 a child of the 60's and early 70's. But I heard of the Beatles though, infact I'm the #1 Beatles fan.
Eva Lu I agree with you . Whenever something appears that Gene has never heard of in his cloistered life, he makes fun of it as if everyone else who has heard of it is strange and not him.
In 1975 I don't think Eric Clapton had gone solo yet. He started out with Derek and the Dominoes and Cream. This is probably why his name wasn't well known yet. Just a guess.
Gene Rayburn was 58 years old in 1975 and Brett was 51. These people grew up with Sinatra, Glenn Miller, Tony Bennett and jazz music. They were part of the generation that rejected rock n' roll in the late 1950s, calling it music for "juvenile delinquents".

Right? I guess in '75 nobody thought twice about giving some poor lady a buncha crap for possibly having kids outside of marriage. He did the same thing to a lady a few contestants back with stepchildren. Sheesh!
So I'm I'm watching this Episode on TV in the GAME Network and the final question where Becky answers that all the Stewardesses were NUDE. When Patty answers, the MF'S censored the "MIDGETS" Seriously Game Tv. Shame on you for Self Censoring. 🤬😡
Richard Dawson was born in the same year as my Mother and she wouldn't know who Eric Clapton was. Richard is from an earlier generation. Remember this is 1975. Ask a 20-something back then who Clapton was.
Sometimes I wonder who is running this show, Ira Skutch, Marc Breslow or Gene himself. Gene seems to tell everyone what they need to do and when. While not knowing who Eric Clapton was in 1975 might seem odd as by this time as his role as The Preacher in the movie 'Tommy' was very well known. Everyone who listened to music knew of his work with Derek and the Dominoes. There was also a popular comic strip called "Erik the Red". Finally, Gene and his breath fresheners & kissing, highlighting Patti's chest, holding female contestants close at his side, making unwanted advances to them periodically, this was the wild west of not-PC daytime TV.
Young-Davis, round 1, question B: "Sign up another one for Joan's Literalist Brigade; I said THROWING UP, too." (Bzzt!) Round 2, question A: "Meaner than that; she PUT SUPERGLUE ON it." (Bzzt!) Question B: "Okay, judges, if you don't count this one, I'm going to DO IMPRESSIONS of a warped, sour-souled old game-show judge, and you can call that not acting if you dare." (Ding!) "Good." Super Match, part 1: either CLAPTON or IDLE (I thought of them almost simultaneously, and I honestly don't know which I would have thought of first if I hadn't seen the video title) Part 2: FRONT Yougn-Lannerman, round 1, question A: "I didn't feel the need to do it in dialect, but I did say NAKED."

Thank you, I probably couldn't tell you any music stars of today but give me the 70's, 80's, 90's I could probably. I get the feeling, also, that Gene didn't spend a lot of time inside, except during the winter months, and I don't believe portable radio were not around then.. But that is just me thinking..
Stephanie Lively also they were probably really into people like Dean Martin, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra because they were all in the 40s & 50s it’s unlikely they would be into rock like the Beatles even though the Beatles were huge in England and had a following of young girls, someone in their 40s would be into older music like Sinatra. Also those were the type of guest that visited the show. Bing Crosby son was a filler star on the top roll. So, again it’s possible very unlikely they may have heard of these people, but highly unlikely.
Unless it’s a hip star or a young star visiting for the week.
We have a tendency to assume people of that time should know everybody that’s famous especially since we now know these people decades later.
@@williammills5597 Thank you and sorry for the delay respond, watching too many episodes and getting nothing done.. ;0) That is what I was thinking, most people like what was big during their teens, I think, so, at least, Gene it would be the 30's or so. They all seems around the same age except for Charles and Richard who seemed to be around the same age. I don't know but that makes sense to me. Thank you.
No, it isn't. Paul McCartney has been around for decades, one of the best-known musicians ever who was with a globally recognized band. Gene took a minute to recognize the name of a guitarist who had had 2 pop hits in the US, in music played mostly for people 30-40 years younger than Gene. Few adults his age would have known Clapton even that well.
I just saw this episode on 10/23/19 and Patti Deutsch's answer "midgets" was blacked out. Political Correctness at its finest. Fuck, take me back to the 70s this new world order really sucks big time.
Take me with you. IF just for a day.
Eric Clapton is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. I’m disappointed that Gene Rayburn mocked him. He just made a fool of himself.
Eva Lu, Gene is not alone. This is the first time I heard of eric clapton and I'm 69 a child of the 60's and early 70's. But I heard of the Beatles though, infact I'm the #1 Beatles fan.
@@auletjohnast03638 wait till you hear about this Elvis dude😆🤣😁
Eva Lu I agree with you . Whenever something appears that Gene has never heard of in his cloistered life, he makes fun of it as if everyone else who has heard of it is strange and not him.
@@auletjohnast03638 Well I guess you didn’t know that Eric Clapton played lead guitar on the Beatles song ‘While my guitar gently weeps’ then?
@@auletjohnast03638 what??
Gene didn't know Eric Clapton?He should have asked BB King. He would have told him. At that he was one of the best Guitarist in the world.
Why boo Scoey for 'shedding'? It fits better than most answers.
In 1975 I don't think Eric Clapton had gone solo yet. He started out with Derek and the Dominoes and Cream. This is probably why his name wasn't well known yet. Just a guess.
Clapton was a legend well before 1975.
His #1 hit "I Shot The Sheriff" was in 1974. He was definitely big in rock by 1975.
ok
Yeah, I forgot about that. Even I knew that song in '74 and I was only 12. Maybe these people just never turned on a radio, lol.
Gene Rayburn was 58 years old in 1975 and Brett was 51. These people grew up with Sinatra, Glenn Miller, Tony Bennett and jazz music. They were part of the generation that rejected rock n' roll in the late 1950s, calling it music for "juvenile delinquents".
Scoey Mitchlll - such a funny guy, so talented. He was always smoking though! He must've quit long ago, as he lived to be more than 90 years old.
Patti always marched to the beat of her own drum 🙄🤦🏼♀️she rarely matched anyone’s answers.
Joan looked sultry.
ROFL! Another fine episode! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Charles! :0) ROFL! Love ya Patti! ;0) Love the entrances, silliness, voices, acting and the fun Gene! ;0) That joke is getting old..

You can be replaced you know? ;0) Love that smile and laugh.. sigh.. performance! ;0) sing! ;0) sing and dance! ;0) run! ;0) tap dance. ;0) Well it would have been a tie anyway I think.. hmm No, he would have won, sing and two tap dancing would have been 3 more plus Charles's match.. Oh well.. Are you making those up as you go along Earl? ;0) Thank you Gene, I do.. ;0) Funny, Gene says you have to forgive a middle age man, you mean people didn't know from that Gene's age, althou I heard it was a closely guarded secret but I think Gene gave it away a couple of times on this show.. ;0) Eric Clapton was part of Eric the red crew when they came over the ocean.. ;0) WOW! You can start this interview with I have 2, 3 and 4 year old and there is my finance in the audience! You can't do that to me. That make me very nervous. What a sweet talker he is.. ;0) nude! ;0) ugly! ;0) I said topless because some of the bottom came back form the cleaners but they didn't get on the plane in time.. ;0) drunk! ;0) midgets! ;0) Well you got to have one weirdo on every show.. ;0)
A instance of where the "exact match" rule was harmful to the contestant!
And on at least two occasions before this show, they did accept answers, that weren't an exact match. I remember one having to do with Arabian Nights.
Good old days of smoking on stage!
Actually singing or acting is not a bad answer.
SKID ROW
Death
That was also my first response.
Wow so much that I could say about this show but I dare not
Yeah .. i would even suggest you better not say anything EVER. Nobody gives a shit
Poor Becky. Having her personal life made fun of.
Right? I guess in '75 nobody thought twice about giving some poor lady a buncha crap for possibly having kids outside of marriage. He did the same thing to a lady a few contestants back with stepchildren. Sheesh!
@@daverice2426 She wanted to move to Arlington TX because houses are cheap. Houses are cheap where people don't want to live.
@@TheBandit7613she was trying to be mother Hubbard
So I'm I'm watching this Episode on TV in the GAME Network and the final question where Becky answers that all the Stewardesses were NUDE. When Patty answers, the MF'S censored the "MIDGETS"
Seriously Game Tv. Shame on you for Self Censoring. 🤬😡
Rock and roll at its best
Richard Dawson was born in the same year as my Mother and she wouldn't know who Eric Clapton was. Richard is from an earlier generation. Remember this is 1975. Ask a 20-something back then who Clapton was.
JC = Pre-Dynasty and Pre-Alexis Colby!
15:00 my first thought - death row
19:52 - Why BUZZR keeps censoring the word "midgets" stumps me.
Joan collins could've been on blankety blank
Well, "Front" and "First" both begin with "F," which stands for "Fail," which is precisely what she did. *sigh*
WHO'S ERIC CLAPTON??? That has to be one of the most cringy moments for Gene Rayburn 🤦
Thanks to Charles head to head win in MGPM episode 5, Charles has now given away 100,000 dollars.
I thought spelling did not count, one spelled the same exact thing Front and the other First BUT it was the same thing. Spelling counts?
14:45 match game podcast? Where is it now???
Sometimes I wonder who is running this show, Ira Skutch, Marc Breslow or Gene himself. Gene seems to tell everyone what they need to do and when. While not knowing who Eric Clapton was in 1975 might seem odd as by this time as his role as The Preacher in the movie 'Tommy' was very well known. Everyone who listened to music knew of his work with Derek and the Dominoes. There was also a popular comic strip called "Erik the Red". Finally, Gene and his breath fresheners & kissing, highlighting Patti's chest, holding female contestants close at his side, making unwanted advances to them periodically, this was the wild west of not-PC daytime TV.
I notice almost every time Gene is making a joke Dawson has to step in to steal the moment.
Shedding? Shedding?
I will always associate Joan Collins w/Edith Keeler.
Joan Collins looks so pretty in 1975.
Somebody messed up her eyebrows.
12:35 " Slide the 100 dollar number Earl "
12:43 " Earl? Are you in there? Are you making these up as you go along? Lol, great stuff.
Young-Davis, round 1, question B: "Sign up another one for Joan's Literalist Brigade; I said THROWING UP, too." (Bzzt!)
Round 2, question A: "Meaner than that; she PUT SUPERGLUE ON it." (Bzzt!)
Question B: "Okay, judges, if you don't count this one, I'm going to DO IMPRESSIONS of a warped, sour-souled old game-show judge, and you can call that not acting if you dare." (Ding!) "Good."
Super Match, part 1: either CLAPTON or IDLE (I thought of them almost simultaneously, and I honestly don't know which I would have thought of first if I hadn't seen the video title)
Part 2: FRONT
Yougn-Lannerman, round 1, question A: "I didn't feel the need to do it in dialect, but I did say NAKED." (Ding!)
Graffiti covered London proclaiming "Clapton is God" and these guys are clueless?
