I did a little Googling and sadly discovered that Stillman “Stiily” Sprague was killed in a mysterious shooting outside of Monterey, CA in 2021. There is a mention that he had a lovely European wife and two daughters.
Annnnnnnnd......it continues but fortunately does end here. I do wanna know what would’ve happened if they’d tied again and clearly there was no more questions to use. My guess something similar to that one ‘76 episode where they had had to throw out a question due to a technical glitch and Ira brought out two new questions.
World book has a lot of information that is wrong according to today's information. Go figure, all those years ago we put the wrong information in our history reports. Lol
I know Ira can be inconsistent with matching. But considering how many tie breakers they had had at that point. I kinda thought for her "Cadillac" answer he would have matched it with Joyce's "Mercedes". Simply because there both cars and to avoid going to another tie breaker. That said, I liked Stilly, he seemed like a cool guy and was bummed when he lost.
I know for a fact they did a sudden death tiebreaker during the first year of Match Game PM three years earlier. After the first tiebreaker, they should have went to sudden death.
Here are the results from this week: Richard gave away the most money at a total of $6,600. Brett and Charles each gave away $500. Richard matched the most at a total of 19 times, Charles matched 15 times, Tom and Brett matched 12 times, and Debralee and Joyce matched 10 times.
Will the tiebreaker be broken and we go on to the Super Match?? Will Roger quit talking to the other guy or will they be throw out???? Will Rogers throwing pens onto the set ever improve?? Will Gene lose his cool and yell at someone, the audience, the panelist, contestants or Roger???? Did everyone get home safely last night to return for today's show?? Will Gene get home during the snow storm?? Will Richard ever joke around again?? These and other burning question will maybe be answer today on Match Game 78! ;0)
A tragic end to Stilly Sprague’s life. In 2021 he was shot and killed beside his car on a highway in Salinas, CA. The kind of dangerous job he had and this is how he died? Just awful. 😔😔. He was only 68 years old.
It's interesting that after winning a game, female champions generally hug Gene or at least stand right beside him. Today at 16:43 as Gene announces the commercial break, they're standing about three feet apart (the champion is way off her mark).
She had no other "gig." This was IT for her and tried to make the most of it. All she had for a career, for the most part, was "screen time" on the Match Game.
@@markjamesmeli2520 what is your television career like? You may not like Brett, but being on one of the top television shows of the decade is an accomplishment neither you nor I are likely to achieve.
"Cadillac" and "Mercedes" seem good answers to me.
I'm in love with Stilly.
Me to, no offense to the other contestant, but I was hoping he'd win. Love the rhyming Charles did with his name.
He was a cutie.
He should have won 3 ties ago.

Is this a Match Game record for most tie-breaker questions? I don't recall ever seeing more than three tie-breaking questions prior to this episode.
So far, probably and I've seen the 1194 others.

Go to commercial break and fill the toaster again with two mores sets of questions..
World Book Encyclopedia, what people of an earlier era had to go to find information...
I always used Funk and Wagnalls.
@@HansDelbruck53 Yes, I used those, TOO! 😁

Even the MAIDS have "Limos" (to drive them to work)!! 😏😉
BUT, I did think of "Maids", too! 👍

Tom looked like a young Soupy Sales, down to the haircut.
I can see a resemblance. I liked Soupy when I was a kid.
To my eyes he looked like a Patrick Duffy look alike.

Should have gone to..., not should have went to.
PM and regular MG have different rules when it comes to tie breakers.
Here are the results from this week:
Richard gave away the most money at a total of $6,600.
Brett and Charles each gave away $500.
Richard matched the most at a total of 19 times, Charles matched 15 times, Tom and Brett matched 12 times, and Debralee and Joyce matched 10 times.
And Charles will give the correct answer.
Is this the third time with the hat? Thanks Mr. White Hat.
I saw Tom Dreesen the first time on the MIKE DOUGLAS show. Funny man...still.
Stillman would have been sitting pretty if he had said toe.
If he would have said “Doctor” instead of thermometer it would have been another tie!
Just watched this and noticed the same thing! He seemed like a cool contestant, I was hoping he'd win.
OH! Repeat question! ;0)

Gene was snooty to the female contestant
Soooo rude!
The fat broad deserved Gene's mild rebuke.
It's not Genes fault she gave terrible answers during her tenure. That cadillac answer was atrocious.
He always was (even the guys who have accents)
It’s that “time of the month” again for Gene.
Why does Brett Somers always have to say anything. She's such a BUSYBODY
She had no other "gig." This was IT for her and tried to make the most of it. All she had for a career, for the most part, was "screen time" on the Match Game.
Grow Up (oh wait)

Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50?

Alternate Saturday Night Fever - - Aspirin. To relieve it
I actually thought of "Thermometer", TOO!! 🌡🤒
