He died? I didn't know that. Very sad if he was still in his 50's. He seemed like a very nice man, but then all of the so-called "celebrities" seemed so much more polite back then.
Bert was originally tapped to do a new MATCH GAME for ABC in 1990 when he got sick and Ross Shafer took his place, interestingly, the Tuesday after that version ended it's run, Bert passed away.
I really felt sorry for Elizabeth for drawing a complete blank and that long awkward silence when she couldn't think of an answer. I hope she didn't take it too hard when she left the stage. :(
Oh, that has got to be the most uncomfortable moment I've ever seen on the show! She is such a lovely woman, I hope she was able to laugh about it all afterwards.
At least it wouldn't have mattered since she needed 4 and the celebrities all said something different. And to her credit she did give an answer in the nick of time.
Loretta Swift holding up the” Me Too “sign... little did she know. Yes hers was for something else but how weird it became a slogan. Love her necklace by the way!
Surprised Dr. Bill didn't go for Joe Namath. That's who I wld have gone with. I didn't think Joe Louis wld be up there since he was long from the public eye by then. Joe D came around the same time as Louis, but I figured he wld be up there.
Bert Convy held up a "Happy Thurs." card at the beginning. However, this episode aired on a Monday - August 13, 1973. (Obviously it was the 4th one filmed with this panel.) I believe the Watergate trial messed up some of the air dates?
@@ArtmonkeyProductions I got the August 13th date from a Match Game Episode Guide that I found online. According to that same guide, there was no episode broadcast on August 2nd. (Episode 18 was on the 1st and 19 on the 3rd.)
First time that none of the celebrety answers matched the audience poll. "Blank Street". Fortunately Dr. Bill went with his own and matched the $500 response.
@@Heavenzvoice Definitely. I'm sure she had plenty of experience being in front of a television audience, under those bright lights, knowing she was being filmed for television while interacting with seven celebrities. She really should have known better.

Wow, I've been watching episodes in order for the last couple years , up to '78 now; they clearly did some effective sound deadening on the set at some point, this sounds like it's recorded in a tile bathroom compared to '78. That's all, everybody go about your business now.
Smashed is a weird answer to me: I'd do 'legless', 'squiffy', 'blotto', 'three sheets to the wind', but then this was a bit before my time and anyway, I'm Anglo-American.
Mary G. You don’t know how much I love Jesus so you shouldn’t judge and even Jesus got harsh with people and told the truth. Comment all you want but don’t ever judge someone’s love of Jesus. People can say or do something but it doesn’t mean they don’t love Jesus the same way Jesus loves us unconditionally. I assume you’re a Christian ... I’m pretty sure you’re not perfect.!
From Wikipedia (I had no idea what a bubble dancer was): "The bubble dance is an erotic dance made famous by Sally Rand in the 1930s. The dancer (sometimes naked) dances with a huge bubble shaped like a balloon or ball placed between her body and the audience to make some interesting poses."
Good job on the commercial edits. If it was the 50's or 60's, I might want to see the commercials, but 70's are too recent and not the same level of corniness.
Finally, a show w/out diahrea mouth brett. Now Gene can take it easy & enjoy the game w/out running to the dope reading the question over & over & over!!! But have no fear, mr. Einstein (Dawson) will take over running the show.
Wow I was just thinking he looked like Johnny Mathis (whom I love). But now that you say that, he does look a tiny bit like jerry Lewis. Do you see any resemblance to Johnny?
I love Bert. Makes me sad he died so young

I bet that dentist did some lines. He was pretty foxy fine as we used to say. I would have partied with him back in the day
Dr. Bill blows the second audience match, with Joe Blow as the top answer to add insult to the injury!

How about you got so "lashed" that you "chundered"?

Why does he keep picking Bert Convy? Kay Ballard has been knocking it out of the park all week.

Boy your verbiage sure doesn’t match your “love of Jesus” Angel of Music. Good lord you were harsh on her.
