Joe Ambrose Why do you bother. So boring
This show was amazing
Thank you for the upload
♡
Man, Stu Gilliam was actually really funny. Kinda wish he'd done the show more.
Brett's answer to the "hen" question made cry with laughter!!!!! I loved that woman!!!!!!
Me too
That beardy dude had a great voice; nice and deep and resonant.
Relax, he's married
In Britain we had blankety blank and Terry Wogan had a syrup too
Time for my notes again!
Yes, the first week of McLean Stevenson, best known as Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake from the TV series MASH (he even co-wrote an episode, "The Trial of Henry Blake"). Stevenson initially appeared infrequently on Match Game, only appearing in three weeks over the first couple of years, then only reappeared again after Richard Dawson's departure in 1978. (Well, it's hard to appear on television when your plane is shot down over the Sea of Japan!) He went on to appear more frequently in the syndicated series, going so far as to become a regular alongside Brett and Charles in the final syndicated season. Stevenson was a very funny contributor to the show, a tad unpredictable. I believe in a future week he'd start an episode topless, and in another from the contestant's seat. Second week for his co-star Loretta Swit. There'll be another MASH co-star about this time next year...
Also the first week for Ann Elder, a comedy performer and writer looking for work following the end of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In (which also starred Richard Dawson). She's written for Lily Tomlin, Flip Wilson, Joan Rivers and Carol Burnett, and also contributed scripts to Vicki Lawrence's sitcom "Mama's Family". She appeared in ten weeks of Match Game episodes over the next two years. She had several fun lines on the Match Game and also appeared to enjoy herself, she had a decent match rate with the contestants (especially Margie, who we'll meet in a couple of episodes time). Swit and Elder are the two remaining panelists still with us as of January 2018.
Second and final week for Stu Gilliam (again with the silent "i"). Shame he never appeared more.
Over the past couple of weeks of shows I've noticed that the questions are becoming ever more suggestive. Not quite the level we expect by the 1975 episodes, but we're getting there. Also, this is the final week where the credits are multi-coloured. They'd be in white text from episode 56, making them much easier to read.
Great story, but shorten it before you send it to Random House
McLean Stevenson was doing MASH at this time. Later years, he returned to Match Game after throwing his career away by quitting his Henry Blake character on MASH.
NBC told him he was going to be a big star on their network.
"Hello Larry".
He left on the promise of bigger and better things. He once said that he thought the word loved him but really they loved him as Henry Blake.
@@untitledmanuscript
He was jealous of Alan Alda
It's September 2023 and I can't believe it's now 50 years old!
McLean Stevenson, Bloomington, Illinois's pride and joy...
Yes being from Pontiac Illinois we were proud he was from Bloomington and it was on Mash
After you lose the game, the way the stage wheels you away is quietly humiliating, haha
First time a contestant wears a low-cut top and Gene says "let's expose the two questions" 🤣🤣🤣
Top answer: pantyhose. 5 seconds later.... Leggs Pantyhose! 🤯
Hair style was my first thought...
Hair do was my first thought, but I changed to hair brush. Hair cut was tempting. Stu's answer seemed a bit of a long-shot for matching anyone...
If senseless answers annoy you, don't watch this episode! I think it sets a record.
Totally agree. McLain using the answer "spit" for a second time was the worst of many nonsensical answers.
@@jamesage24 Especially when he isn't helping the contestant by doing it.
Hysterical!
(Spoiler Alert!)

Ten seconds after we see that the #1 answer to "________ HOSE" was "Panty", the first sponsored product in the end credits was L'eggs Pantyhose! Coincidence?
Jack black,has looked the exact same since the 70s! Haha
had to look it up, richard's crack about "mr. blackwell's hour", was richard blackwell, a fashion designer who started the "worst dressed list" in 1960.
Ah, but narrow lapels made a comeback a few years later and stayed
No shit
@@annika_panicka actually I was there and I can tell you that lapels have narrowed and widened several times since 1973. Such is the cycle of fashion. 😁😁
during season 1 seating with this panel Stu and McLean chairs 1 or 3 Richard chair 5 always even as regular Ann only chair 6 or as a younger more blonde Betty White or Fannie Flagg and rotation of chairs 2 and 4 with both Brett and Loretta . love seeing Brett and Loretta in the opposite seats
Wow. Can I put this on my resume ?
Gene doesn't have a microphone...later episodes...he does..what's up with that?
Don't know, don't give a phuck
Then why did you reply?
@@scottlareva9820 Firm believer in constructive feedback
Then why do you bother.
In the earlier episodes, he wore a clip on mic, and grabbed a hand mic as the turntable was turning so that the contestant doing the super match would be miked. Later on, they eliminated the clip on mic, and he just carried a hand mic all the time.
NO!!! MORE BRUCE 😻😻😻💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥
He seemed like a nice guy, but he got screwed by the celebrities' nonsensical answers.
No more Bruce 😑
On this date in 1990, The Movie Masters hosted by Gene Rayburn aired it's last episode.
Respectfully, don't have a clue what you're talking about, and no desire to find out
This is the closest the writers have come to inserting jokes into the questions.

Where is Charles Nelson Riley?
I was wondering what happened to him too
He's not a Regular yet (neither is Brett)
He was doing an episode of Lidsville.
That helmet head is annoying to see.....

Beverly doesn't deserve to win. She tried to cheat in the last video.
Jennifer and Bruce answered 4 questions and matched 0 total celebrities. It's hard to win that way.
Matching is literally the name of the game
Stu is annoyingly derivative of Cosby, and his humour is tedious and ill-placed (eg if you're not matching, don't go through a big folderol in an attempt to be funny, making the contestant wait on tenterhooks; it's not 'cool'). And McLean is equally annoying, trying to be funny with spit takes instead of trying to match. Indeed, Gene made some comment to that effect - try to match to help some non-celebrities make a little 💰 instead of screwing around for your own vain benefit.
Stellar Jay Stu is really annoying me too, hope he doesn’t last long
I really get annoyed when a panelist makes it more about them than the contestant - a real downer
wow, you just sound grumpy and annoying yourself!
I like it when Charles is extra, but otherwise I hate it when the celebs go on and on.
@@Wildstar40 It changed whether you'd leave a comment on this page.
Thanks for uploading this, but I could do without Stevenson. :/ He's an attention hog.

I love McLean. He's hilarious.
Yeah they should let the contestants talk more about their jobs.....not. McLean saying "blank" was hilarious.
