Get ready to. Match The. Stars. I absolutely loved this show Gene. Rayburn was perfect host for the show What love to see. Barbara. Eden on the show...
I so agree with the choice of Match Game. There is nuclear kind of interplay which occurs during each individual show. It challenges your mind and tickles your funny 'blank'.
Harry Reynolds performed under the stage name "Reynaldo Rey" as a comedian, actor, and television personality. When I saw him I recognized him from one of the Redd Foxx "Dirty Jokes" Standup Comedy Specials.
I loved 1976! and the lead up starting in '74 and '75 Most patriotic I've ever been, and probably ever will be. As matter of fact, I've noticed how many people nostalgically identify with the confederate or the "Unite Or Die" or the "Don't Tread On Me" flags. Well my American identity is symbolized by the "President Ford" Bicentennial Star. Bye bye Miss American Pie...
Only 1978's was taped anywhere near that far out (early November). 1975 and 1977 were taped in late November, 1973, 74, and 76 were taped in mid-December. MG-HS isn't currently known, but could be similar to 75 + 77 - late November or early December. As for 90, no idea - though I suspect that wasn't taped that far out either.
I often wonder what life is like for the contestants after the show- like Courtney, how long did it take her to get back home since her car blew up and she lost the show? Lol also, looking at the contestants, so many were really young- their now in their 60’s! Lol
Why can't we have shows like this today in 2020 because everyone would say dirty words in some of the blanks it wouldn't be funny then and all the great ones on here have passed on or are very old. Either way never be like this again in this world we live.
Thanks for the late response I was just wondering if you need anything else from me please let me know if it's 10 minutes but I don't know if it's 10 minutes

I just looked again. 18 commercials is definitely a non-starter! In fact, 2 per hour is my limit. So, any more than 6 or 7 for this clip is a deal breaker!
59:00. Gene gave away the answer. He said “I hope you got rid of your last card” They had all written ASP. Gene was suggesting “Ass” as the answer. But absolutely no one said ASS. (Jodie did say derriere!)
The girl in the orange stripped top guessed “rifle”. I’d guessed rifle. She got no matches. Then she guessed “virginity”, I guessed “virginity”. She got no matches again.
Lol! He had to hold her up when she was swooning over sexy Ron Valenti!! That was the week of July 4, 1975. Look up episodes 498-502 I believe that's the right numbers. Or look up Match Game "Fannie falls in love" on UA-cam

@@lynn1505 Maybe... It's strange that I can't remember. I even saw the famous photo from the film a couple of weeks ago, with all four in a bed together, and I have already forgotten...again. Since that I have never watched it, I have to add that movie to my list of films to see when the opportunity comes up.
Yeesh...the way 1975's game went, it should have been a cakewalk for the challenger, both the champion's questions came back with panel splits whereas they mostly agreed with each other for the challenger's, and yet it still went to a scoreless tie! BTW - is Gene correct that that was a first for MG?
You should get a Premium Subscription to YT like I have. No ads and I can play YT vids in the background while working on/using other apps on my phone.
2:07:07 ish Gene gives Betty a kiss hug and a little rub on the tush and Betty doesn't even bat an eye,but you can tell Gene gave a little giggle so I don't know,just a bunch of notty totty going on . P.s I really can't stand that old man's time song they sing on New year's it makes me depressed.

I remember seeing these live on TV when they came on. It's the best game show of all

Still watching 2022
Didn't watch back when it was popular. I'm catching up. Love Brett and Charles. Richard is very different from his FF persona.
Still watching in 2023
And still in 2023 headed into 2024…🎉
I grew up on Match Game… it was the best
Oh gosh me also! I've been binge watching Match Game for 3 days now lol 🤣 I love to hear Brett say "GOOD GRAVY MARIE!" 😂
happy new year 1976 and thanks gene rayburn and Richard dawson for all the laugh
I love how they finish off the years! And Charles was funny for 75!
...used to run home after school to watch Match Game; hysterical
I watched it with my grandparents when I was very young. The episodes from 1974 & 75 were the cat's meow !
♥️💜❤️💕
Missed them so much 😏😪 special 😘JeanRayburn R.I.P ,my favorite show ♥️ love it 🌹 used to run to watch the show 🌷🌷
Sugestion 🤗they should make another Match Game 😘 with the who ever are left from the old crowd ,like Fanny ,Jimmie Walker and so on 🤗 🌹

First contestant had a 4 and 7 year olds in 1973. Today that are both into their 50s.
I love when the streamers and the balloons come down at the end of the show! Happy new year
I didnt see any balloons
What you smokin?
I have so much fun watching match game
Never a boring moment with Brett Somers!! 🥳 🎉
can;t stand her
Never a clever moment

Great game show because it's so funny, that's what we need in 2021 a little more laughter.🤟☮️😄😁
It was REAL noone was hurt and as sensitive
@@KQwest98 totally true, pokes and jokes, innuendos, all that was hilarious and yet unthinkable today!!
yes absolutely genuine humor and laughter not the forced contrived stuff fed to the public today
The greatest game show ever
Harry Reynolds performed under the stage name "Reynaldo Rey" as a comedian, actor, and television personality. When I saw him I recognized him from one of the Redd Foxx "Dirty Jokes" Standup Comedy Specials.
These are hilarious. I love how Charles poked fun at the Bicentennial.
I was only 2, but I hear people were SO sick of it by the end of the year. lol.
I loved 1976! and the lead up starting in '74 and '75
Most patriotic I've ever been, and probably ever will be.

Bye bye Miss American Pie...
It's now 2023/2024..... This show knew how to make me laugh and it had the best stars this side of Hollywood Squares
I wish we could go back to that new year and start it over
IKR⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
This was the evening of my very first new year with my boy friend who ended up being my husband for 38 years. 💕
Congratulations
Congratulations!
Best wishes
Great marathon
Kinda spooky...He reads the question about "Match Game 1999 needing a new blank" and Mark says "A new host"....and Gene Rayburn died in 1999.
What a pleasant surprise to see the New Year's Eve episodes of "The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour" and "Match Game '90". Great job.
Gene Rayburn was one of the nicest people you'd EVER want to meet! Just the same in person as you saw him on TV. A real gentleman!
Him and Richard are both flirty with the woman 👎🏼
@@alberthamel6039 Only Richard wasn't married 😉
Would have been awesome for Ron Valenti to be at the New Years Eve '75 show with Fannie! That would have been a hoot 🤣☺️🤣☺️🤣
MY FAVORITE TV GAME SHOW. WHEN I WAS 8. YRS OLD.
When this show came on board back in the b&w format they had 2 teams of 3 and the teams competed against each other!
Coming up on 50 years ago. ❤️
Watching NYE 2021
Have a safe and prosperous new year!
That's what was put into the price pipe. We called it weed in my young days.
It was also put in hot water like a tea for pain releaf and nervousness
That’s how you can tell how old these shows are ~ vintage verbiage 😂
The amusing thing is these New Year's Eve episodes were probably taped in October LOL
Only 1978's was taped anywhere near that far out (early November). 1975 and 1977 were taped in late November, 1973, 74, and 76 were taped in mid-December.
MG-HS isn't currently known, but could be similar to 75 + 77 - late November or early December. As for 90, no idea - though I suspect that wasn't taped that far out either.
I often wonder what life is like for the contestants after the show- like Courtney, how long did it take her to get back home since her car blew up and she lost the show? Lol also, looking at the contestants, so many were really young- their now in their 60’s! Lol
Happy New Year's Eve my Match Game friends! Who's excited for another awesome marathon?
How about a banned episode marathon?
Grigor B.
Why can't we have shows like this today in 2020 because everyone would say dirty words in some of the blanks it wouldn't be funny then and all the great ones on here have passed on or are very old. Either way never be like this again in this world we live.
I agree. The inuendos are a lot funnier than the blatantly dirty ones.
Sad truth!
I love that you make this statement on the episode where they go on about hookers
...we do; its called Family Feud (copycat edition.)
That was the format that Alec Baldwin was emcee. Awful show. But that is what happens when they try to remake a good shows
Happy new year's eve everyone can't to see this rockin awesome marathon

I've always wondered what the Match Game 79 sign would look like in the original logo with the curved letters

Happy New Year !!!
Never seen the last version before. Kind of like it.
With regards to 'Thanks for the Memory', Bob Hope's song was actually 'Thanks for the Memories' which was probably why she didn't choose that answer.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO ANYONE IS LOL BUT I LOVE BETTY WHITE 💕
Gene got a little choked up... How cool.
1973...I think we overdid the finale!!
Never!
I looked at all those commercials scheduled and said, "Nothing doing!!"
I just looked again. 18 commercials is definitely a non-starter! In fact, 2 per hour is my limit. So, any more than 6 or 7 for this clip is a deal breaker!
They need to do a match game 90 marathon just to celebrate even though that it only lasted 1 season .
It may have only been one season, but I believe there were over 200 episodes filmed
59:00. Gene gave away the answer. He said “I hope you got rid of your last card” They had all written ASP. Gene was suggesting “Ass” as the answer. But absolutely no one said ASS. (Jodie did say derriere!)
@6:35 I love Richard Dawson's outfit 😘
21:00 they’re drunk aren’t they!🥳😵💫🤪 🥴 🍸
I heard the panelists use to drink liquor when they were at lunch break lol! 😂
Funny how Betty White said she's doing the Rose Parade, then a decade later, she played Rose on The Golden Girls 🌹
The girl in the orange stripped top guessed “rifle”. I’d guessed rifle. She got no matches. Then she guessed “virginity”, I guessed “virginity”. She got no matches again.
So much fun!
They should have just called it Match Game. Naaaa, then we wouldn't have seen all these great episodes!
1:23:45 Gene passed away in 99, talk about freaky
I know right? 😳
At 2:07:00 Gene cops a feel of Betty White...lol
He’d never get away with that today or his comments about “Come back to my dressing room” etc. Every word is scrutinized these days.
Saw this show originally in New York and these guys are goofey during the commercials
Please, give us some details.
2:43:00 haha insane how shes right but little did they know....she should have won that block
Nipse has the whitest straightest teeth I've ever seen he's kinda handsome too!😇
Want to see him in his younger days?
He was a regular on the classic "Car 54 Where Are You" series. as "Andy" the communications patrolman.
Beloved memories
IS IT 2021 YET??
Dick and Fannie on the same episode! 😂
Lol! He had to hold her up when she was swooning over sexy Ron Valenti!! That was the week of July 4, 1975. Look up episodes 498-502 I believe that's the right numbers. Or look up Match Game "Fannie falls in love" on UA-cam
Gene's outfit @23:35 💕 ♥️
Impossible to laugh their head off! 4-22-2022. Matador question.
happy 2021
Charles Nelson Reilly told Gene Rayburn there is a mistake.
Weird Al Yankovic wrote a song about Charles Nelson Reilly!
ua-cam.com/video/xLnapb-30hA/v-deo.html
That was the weirdest thing I've ever seen! (The weird all yancovic thing)
Were those boos when the 1990 Match game host came out?
Thank ypu God for everythingAmen
No Syndicated? I know they never did any celebratory shows like from the '70's, but I was looking forward to the last taped shows from 1979-1981.
No number sign darn it
There was no sign change or anything for the syndicated run. It’s very hard to even tell when the last episode of the year is for the syndicated run!
Vahan Nisanian no, it would have been MG Synd 135 for the final episode of 1979, MG Synd 350 for season 2, and then MG Synd. 505 for season 3
Crazy question!
I love these marathons!
The mailman from 227 🙄🙄
George from the last game of 76 looks like a black Stephen Merchant
I think Carol looks like a younger version of Gene's wife Helen.
Is there a Pic or short vid that shows 'all' of the behind the scenes people?
A weird looking bird!
United States is just one of 35 countries in America
Carol never watched this show before. DUH!
Brett must be deaf! She asks for the “question” to be reread 99% of the time. As you can tell, she rubs me the wrong way 😠
I mean it's not a duffle bag it's called a barracks bag!!
I agree to that!
At 2H07m Gene grabs Betty White's derrière!
Lol, no lawsuit back then. Now we live in the Harrison Bergeron years.
