I think Gene genuinely cared about the contestants and helping them relax; hold their hands, give hugs, and joking with/at them. Sometimes that last part seemed to backfire a wee bit. Some dont seem to like being told they gave a bad answer, even if it was!
Now THIS is a Gold 🌟 episode, especially the ten minute mark. The only thing that could have made it any better would be if Nipsey or Scoey had been on the panel

I always laugh when Gene calls the celebrities a group of ding-a-lings.
Especially fits for Brett.

Gene was sweet to hug her
@@randydellinger2996 Hugs aren't perverted. Thinking they are tells us much more about you than about Gene.
The sixth seat players rarely try to match! Have to wonder if that's why they hired them. The only one I liked was Betty White!
I think that's the first time we'd ever heard from Ory. We used to hear from Earl all the time.
The ham was cured of Swine Flu! Didn't they know of that in 1979?
It was more of a 1976 thing.
Wonderful win by the beautiful Connie Stevens !! I love this Match Game 79! :)
I love this show.
This show aged well.
Yes, because true classics will NEVER die
"Lions" was my thought for the last one!
Imagine this episode had aired today? EVERYONE involved would be "cancelled". On the flip side, it was fukin hilarious.
This was obviously BEFORE Connie became a Christian
(she's been on several of the Gaither videos)
Why is it obvious this was before?
I could only think of a Patti Deustch-esque answer for the Hungry Harry question: birth control pills.
Now THAT is Pattiesqe, good job
4:50 she looks like she's from 1890s.
Where did they find these "unique" contestants? 🤣
I could never watch this show when Bill Daly was on it because he held up the show with his stupid silliness so u never watched it when he was on.
Oh Gene
Fred is a pretty good game player. He wasn't much of a Congressman.
7:52-according to IMDB (www.imdb.com/name/nm0334948/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_trv_sm#trivia), Fred graduated Magna cum Laude from Harvard University...
