The joke Gene was trying to remember: "The ice man has a happy life/His job is very slick/While other guys have but one wife/The ice man has his pick."
There is a short clip on you tube of her talking about it. The last show of the regular run ended May 4th 1979 This was from they syndicated version which apparently started in 1979 but I couldn't find a guest guide for it. But IMBD date had the date for this one. They also had Kirsty Alley listed as a contestant. She was on the next show
Jamie Lee Curtis being 18 in this blows my mind. It’s relatively well understood that fashion has a lot to do with that effect but she really looks at least mid 30s to my late gen y eyes
People did look older back then though. If you go watch something from the late 90's that isn't done with makeup and actors, you will nitice 20 year olds look damn near 30. It's mostly that we haven't had leaded gasoline and the heavy regulations on emissions from factories for long enough that the lead and other toxic chemicals (but especially the lead) have gone down significantly in our atmosphere. Lead is brutal stuff. Also all of the solvents, lead paint, toxic clothing dyes, asbestos, etc. If we could do something about China, India, and the rest of Asia and Africa to get to the standards of 2008 as to what North America and Europe did, we would be so much better off.
@@melakon1 it's a fact. The lead in our air was the main contributing factor to that. Go watch anything live, we were all grey and wrinkled from the toxic air we had no choice in breathing.
It is a possibility, but there were several times that he acted like that, and they were such good friends, that I don't particularly believe it was that.
@@tytits yeah, I just thought I'd throw it out there, as a possibility. Sometimes he calls her out, in his bitchy hilarious way, about little things that might kind of really bug him, like when he once said she's been copying his answers for 5 years. It very well could have been boredom and burnout with the show. Or maybe he was hung over from drinking with Brett the night before.
@@zubileegluckgluck Also I think something that has to be taken into consideration, is the fact that with all the years they were on the air on CBS, they all must have been a bit stressed out and burned out at this point, because of the transition to a new network, and constantly having to change time slots, and still having to put on a smile and a great show, even though they probably all were a bit frustrated and upset at this point.
I think that Brett looks so much better without those glasses and wigs dontcha think? I 💘 that the audience was really into it, they were nearly as loud as some March Madness games I've watched in years past
Yes, I said it twice on here last week, Brett was GORGEOUS without those glasses. One of those episodes, she had no glasses, her hair up and dangly sliver earrings. She was GORGEOUS !
"Bear" is - or was? - a rank in the Cub Scouts. But all I could come up with was Grizzly, maybe playing off of "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams", although I think it was already over on TV by then.
I dunno how the hell they went from the civility of “What’s My Line?” to the churlish debauchery of “Match Game” in the space of fifteen years, but good lord, could that simian-looking Rayburn have been any more of a sleaze? Man, I’m glad we’ve passed this whole era.
Kissing would've stopped with COVID-19, if it hadn't already stopped. I understand Richard Dawson finally stopped kissing contestants when his daughter asked him to stop.
"Ain't gonna be no boss, Just Charles Nelson Riley nailed to a cross. I don't p*ss, I don't sh*t, I'm getting NO relief. People shake their heads in disbelief."
@@barbarapaton4005 I'm not inferring anything. I'm stating why I disagree that he was endearing. Could be endearing back then I suppose, or to people who were alive back then.
@@twildabuckingham so are you saying because one has passed on that they cannot be considered endearing when they were alive? Not understanding your statement.
And then the HOST! Like it was already disgusting that he had to “welcome” her on the show. He had to do it again? It’s absolutely repulsive to watch people use their position in power to treat people this way
Huh, with the fat shaming scout thing the first thing that came to me was cub scouts -> chub scouts, but I am not sure chub/chubby was common back then...
I've been wondering, Did Match Game syndicated start when Match Game was still on the air in 79. If so, Match Game syndicated made several changes to it, and Gene kept it all straight
I was watching this because I heard Jamie was hilarious on it. So far, I see a creeper host and guest and a very uncomfortable Jamie after being kissed by them!
Yup. Was thinking the same thing! Lol when I would visit my grandmother on the summers when I was a kid, this was a staple every Monday through Friday, and my grandma would laughed so hard at the show. But yeah, it was pretty creepy for those guys to do that lol. ✝️🇺🇸✝️
bummer! i watched the short of her on letterman, and she actually never said what she claimed on the show. maybe they edited that question out, or she was just being funny
@@Ace_Hunter_lives No. I just watched it again. She was looking at him smiling and he kept talking so she faked yawning and acted tired. Then she welcomed the kiss which she knew was coming and probably okayed it. And smiled right after
Time were so much better then. This dude kissed Jamie Lee! Imagine if someone did that today to a star. The names would fly, media coverage and "experts" everywhere! I loved the 60s, 70s, and especially the 80s.
The right person could pull it off. Ellen kissed everyone no one blinked. Craig Ferguson was very suggestive and kissed all the women. Of course it'd work in the right format with the right person.
I wondered when you were going to show up over here (still haven't learned to grow yet though I see) Oh weill.... 95% of people on here love her, I guess that's all that REALLY matters :)
@@kristabrewer6736 Don’t worry - I’m not going anywhere. YOU grow up & learn how to write & spell. The word “up” should be between grow & yet & well is well not weill. Thank you very much.
I’m here because I just saw a video of JLC talking about it on letterman
Me too
same lol
1979 = 11 years old, at home playing sick.......watching Match Game !!!!!
Lol at Curtis' expression when Rayburn says the first sentence. Even Betty's was priceless.
Congrats to Jamie Lee on her much-deserved Oscar. Hotdog fingers all around!
The joke Gene was trying to remember: "The ice man has a happy life/His job is very slick/While other guys have but one wife/The ice man has his pick."
That was totally explicit humour...naked words and concepts delivered with a raw bravado
This show was the best. Adult humor rolled up in a game show.
Cringy watching Gene Rayburn and some rando guest kiss Jamie Lee Curtis like she owes it to them. Definitely a different time.
Man that “is” SUPER cringe!
You are not kidding. Everything he does that I cringe.
It's just an innocent peck. I doubt she would have done it if she was uncomfortable with it
@@richardchason Really. You think she would have ripped him on television in front of a live audience during that time period? Okay...
That's what's cringy to you?
You knew he was going with Jamie's answer no matter what.
Jamie Lee Curtis is just gorgeous! Love Match Game!!
Robert looks like the perfect mixture of Jack Nicholson and Harrison Ford 😮
Agreed.
God, I love Jamie Lee Curtis!!!! Wish I had been the kid she babysat in Halloween ❤️💕💞💖🧡💓💛💝💍 Still in love with her!!!!!
Can anybody imagine Brett Somers & Charles Nelson Reilly along with Rose Marie Paul Lynde and George Gobel on The Hollywood Squares?! 😂😅😂😅!!
I'm here after watching JLC on David letterman, the johnny joke.

I totally thought of Chub Scouts!
I love Jamie Lee Curtis
Why?
@@FrankIsAlwaysRight To reply because I think she is hot that is why!
@@FrankIsAlwaysRightDo you need a reason?

I think Charles was tired of it at this point lol he doesn’t care if he matches or not and is just going for the laughs
Sure does come across like he needed a break or a vacation.
Maybe Brett was getting on his nerves.

@@kristabrewer6736She got a face-lift at some point that helped too.
The format is different - is this because it’s the first game of a new season and neither player is the champion?
Jamie Lee Curtis' first show?
Ok, so this one DID come before PM then. How did RICHARD get on the other one?
Charles was just putting in his time. He mailed it in!
Charles is looking a little rough today.
I miss these nuts they made my growing up cool 😊
You can have these nuts instead~
@@gavinvalentino1313
*deez
"No tongue" 😂
Match Game/Hollywood Squares/Super Password - the holy trinity of game shows.
I love Jamie lee!!
Hard to believe, Jamie 18.she looks mid 20s.was this before Halloween? I heard about this on Jamie appearance on Letterman
Imagine Gene on a little moped 😂
How could they not come up with snowman
Or Santa Claus
"Bear" is - or was? - a rank in the Cub Scouts. But all I could come up with was Grizzly, maybe playing off of "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams", although I think it was already over on TV by then.
18:55
I don't understand Charles' answer. Does it have something to do with donation drives? Maybe a trendier answer would have been "blood banks".
I came for Jamie, numerous times! And she looks gorgeous. Love the Hair.
The No Tongue Line is Crazy, I am pretty sure she was 18 or 19 at that time, this seems so foreign of a time....wow...!!!
According to the Letterman interview I watched the other day on UA-cam, yes, she was 18 when she worked on Match Game.
tthe term dirty old man didnt come from no where lol. imagine how they were in the 20's !
She was born in 1958 so she would have been about 21 here in 1979
70's were awesome for game shows. You'd never get away with that kissing these days
Sure we could.
Or the comments about sex and eardrums. People would get
SOOOOOOO butthurt now days!!
Hashtag me too would have a field day with this. It's not CONSENUAL!
Charles seems a little rebellious today 😂
Give 'em hell Charles!
He was really funny.
Yessss!
I loved match game. After school with Jay's potato chips..😮
_Lay's_
Jeff Who? Campbell? Gamble? This is crazy! Kimble i think.
If I kissed Jamie, I would've fainted.

Everyone looks so old back then. Jaime was 18, wtf!?
Gene Rayburn was a good man. RIP.😢
Looking at that microphone I’d say he’s compensating.
Are you sure that's not Andy Kaufman in the circle chair?
How about direct CURRENT?!
“No tongue!”
"Ain't gonna be no boss, Just Charles Nelson Riley nailed to a cross. I don't p*ss, I don't sh*t, I'm getting NO relief. People shake their heads in disbelief."
Just me on a hilltop with 15 girls! :)
cattle do not have a driver license
❤❤❤❤
14:08
First time I've seen them superimpose a panelist with a contestant.
I hate those.
It's that what that was? It was disturbing.
@@flowertrueYes it was disturbing, if is was just Jamie with a fake mustache 😊
No thanks it's weird.
I know this game show was syndicated, back in the 1980s.
KHJ (KCAL) 9 had this show, and it was still at CBS Television City.
This episode was taped on July 21, 1979.
@@CousinOresama Ok.
Jamie Lee Curtis looked terrified and pressured into that "no tongue " kiss. Mad me sad watching that!
Gene Rayburn was such an endearing person
Ew. How? He said "big bare scouts, those are the best kinds" and kissed 18 yo Jamie Lee twice like she owed them to him
@@twildabuckingham so what exactly are you inferring? Just asking…
@@barbarapaton4005 I'm not inferring anything. I'm stating why I disagree that he was endearing. Could be endearing back then I suppose, or to people who were alive back then.

Sergeant Bob from The Chips
Jamie is ways so pretty
Joan Rivers sure looked different back then.
16:20 the contestant walks up and kisses Jamie Lee.....can you imagine that happening today? Gotta love the 70's
And then the HOST! Like it was already disgusting that he had to “welcome” her on the show. He had to do it again? It’s absolutely repulsive to watch people use their position in power to treat people this way
Huh, with the fat shaming scout thing the first thing that came to me was cub scouts -> chub scouts, but I am not sure chub/chubby was common back then...
Choosing Charles is the equivalent of throwing a hint in the trash, "all American cereal"?
Letterman sent me here

Robert Pine father of Chris Pine...
I did not know that.
In this month in 1999 Match Game 98 aired it's final episode..
Gene wudda been 80 that year
"Snowman" WAS the best answer on the first one, just sayin...
The Kirstie Alley episodes are coming up!!!
She just died yesterday. R.I.P. Kirstie.

✝️🇺🇸✝️
Oh goody. You found something to complain about.
WTF? Was this seriously normal back in the day? Creepy!!
That one guy reminds me of Chris Pine for some reason.
So relieved that Richard Dawson wasn’t present
I’m told that the celebrity panelists made $400 or$500 bucks a show , not a bad gig for the era.
They shot 5 shows a day, with a generous helping of liquor and drugs btwn the first 3 and the last 2. Great gig!
@@kenlieberman4215 That’s why Brett was always so obnoxious, she was always half loaded.
@@dorothyjohnson3728Brett would've drank $500 a day. I'm sure she had a high tolerance by then.
@@ts.elliot5870 Lol 😂 I agree.
When the camera panned back for a second she was wiping her mouth off and looked disgusted
And she said no hug
"No tongue!"
I don’t think was really interested in kissing Gene.
Betty also played JLC's mom in You Again w/Kristen Bell.
👍
What no "direct " deposit or "direct " TV 🤣
Those weren't things yet.
Robert Pine is Chris Pine's father.
Who is Jim Halpert's father? Robert or Chris?... And who the hell is Jim Halpert?
@Frank Heard of it? Yes. Seen it? No.
I hate it when they've had all that time to think and act like it's the first time they've heard the phrase. Get your head in the game!
Too late They are all dead.
Lol Jamie said to gene, NO TONGUE
She was 18. This whole kissing thing with her and Gene and a contestant wouldn't go over too well today.
The rebel flag background was an interesting set design decision…
Direct mail and direct dial are answers from a different time.
Don't forget direct deposit!
@@davebetts9843Too soon for that.
Was Charles on shrooms at this taping?

Was he?!
He thought he was, what an egomaniac.
He's creepy.
Really.
