I love this show when I discovered it on GSN. (my cable provider has since taken that channel away from me..grr!!) I love the inane questions and the celebrity banter. it was especially funny when they all got off subject.
@gladfan1989 "what was the music guy smoking" It shows that it wasn't just Gene Rayburn who was responsible for the terrific humor of the Match Game. The whole production team had that same irreverent mentality that made it a success.
I love thi show. Its always so unexpected. they are really having fun. i love the personalities. they are lovely . we should try this again. but there was only one gene rayburn.
@DDRUTOU It's like comparing apples and oranges. They both had amazing talent and could both think on their feet. But Gene won hands down when it came to irreverent, risque, Groucho Marx-style humor.
Barker got #1 on the list. Barker had the price is right show for freakin ever. Barker has a studio named after him. Barker, aww, heck. Barker is #1. Rayburn could be 2, but Barker is #1. Hate me if you like, but I think so
After watching so many episodes when Betty White is a guest panelist, do you notice how often Gene likes to touch her and kiss her? I'm wondering if they ever got together at one point. He NEVER does that with Brett and sometimes does it with the third female panelist depending on who it is. Gene went nuts when Charlene Tilton of DALLAS was a guest, watch them!
Gene: "I've tried Betty"
(Allen gets up and menaces Gene)
LOL
There aren't words to describe how much I love Betty White. A national treasure.
This is one of the best game shows ever!
Contestant: Um, I haven't tried Betty yet.
Gene: I'VE tried Betty.
LOL, perfect timing Gene. Love ya!
"I've tried Betty." Greatest line ever uttered in the history of TV.
Brett Somers R.I.P.
Man did Maxine screamed so loud that she busted both of Gene's eardrums. I hope I wasn't the only one who saw it.
Match Game rocks! I love this show.
By far one of the best Match Game moments ever.
RIP Richard Dawson!
Miss good entertainment like this
Ok, what was the music guy smoking when he chose the tune? That's why Match Game is the GREATEST game show ever!
And the look on Betty's face says it all!
This show puts the current game shows to shame. Nothing like good, clean fun.
If our jobs can be just as fun as this :D

Gene Rayburn was the best game show host of all time!

FANTASTIC. THANKS FOR POSTING! Wonderful times on TV. Wish they were back.
This was the best game show...EVER!!
RIP Betty White
Hope you’re with Allen and all your animal friends😊
That's around 60K in today's money. Nice haul.
HAHA I LOVE Brett's interpretation of belly dancing!
Richard once commented that they tried to slow down Brett's drinking:
They bent the funnel.
I love thi show. Its always so unexpected. they are really having fun. i love the personalities. they are lovely . we should try this again. but there was only one gene rayburn.
Could very well be. Funny clip, especially when everyone started dancing ^_^
I QUIT THE ACT AGAIN! Great job, Charles.
Love this show!
Everything you love about Match Game condensed into one clip. Fantastic!
@pixi2nv Charles said "I quit the act again." He was referring to an incident in the preceding episode where they also played the wrong music.
I would have said Thomas Jefferson. (Great memories nevertheless.)
Belly dancing? “ Stars and Stripes Forever?” Don’t go together
Brett and Betty would make great belly dancers XDXD
I was thinking Thomas Jefferson. oh well.
They had to play "Stars & Stripes Forever", didn't they? I read that in the circus, S&SF is known as "the Disaster March".. Such is the case here!
This show is TRULY bananas!!!

Betty and Allen were married during this episode.
the host is fucking awesome!
I don't know. $5,000 in 1975 was a pretty sizable chunk of money.
Go Betty Go! Yeah Betty!
Hee Hee Hee Brett is dancing and they played the wrong music
I keep on rewinding to the Betty part *lol*
Honestly, I thought of Payne
Didn't even think of Edison.
JOCULARITY JOCULARITY 😍😄😃🤗
0:35 that’s why he hosted password
richard was such a chick magnet. on every show all the women picked him :L
Dancing? Was THAT what Brett was doing? :)
Has anyone tried Betty? THAT'S SO FUNNY!
So true, so true!!
hahaha.
I QUIT THE ACT AGAIN!!!!
Allen's answer is bananas!
What was the name of the song they "jokingly" played again?
APG19912009 by John Phillip Sousa.
If wonder if Allen would've slugged Gene if Gene didn't apologize.
John Lang I think they were all friends and Allen took it as a joke.
+John Lang I'd pay money for that... "Gene Rayburn vs. Allen Ludden! Ladies and gentlemen... Let's get ready to rumble!!!"
Too Hilarious
i love betty white.
"Jefferson" ... SH*T!!!
i wish i had 500.00 now!!!
@SuperPAC Over $20,000.
@DDRUTOU yes he was.
What did Charles say when the music started??
1975.
She's a dead ringer for the actress Madeleine Stowe.
Did he ever say that twice?
@dagdogg Watch the video titled "Match Game 75 (Episode 519)"
Me too,.
What year was this?
1975
@IconWatcher I'd be happy with $14,600.
What an ugly green suit and yes $5,000 in those days was a new car!
Not better than Barker
