H/H match update: ... ~~~Today's action: There have been a lot of Brett Somers-themed questions over the years and a few Gene ones recently, and some featuring other visiting panelists, but this is the first Richard Dawson question that I can recall (although there must have been one before), and it had an obvious definitive answer (in my opinion): "Lips." (Not "Body" as the panel said.) The champion came up with a different answer, however ("Money"), and so she is defeated after winning two games and $8,450. *Today's audience match question: "Grain________"* (My thoughts: Alcohol, of Sand, Elevator) - Is this one hard, or I am just dumb today? The celebs: Debralee (Wheat), Richard (Belt), Fannie (of Sand) - Based on the panel's answers, this one was hard. Grain wheat? No! Grain belt? No!! The choice: Salt (He goes with his own answer!) The answers: Of Sand (Ha!), Elevator (Ha!), Of Salt!!! - (Kudos to the contestant for coming up with the top answer in fourth position!) Well, a new champion always means we have a chance for a new celebrity to play the H/H. Today's champ chose Richard for the second suggestion, but wisely didn't take his answer, which wasn't even on the board. So who will he choose for a shot at $5,000? My bet is that he won't choose the celeb with the best track record... or the second-best track record... or the third-best track record... I had a feeling. This is now King Richard's 28th consecutive time answering the head-to-head question. He's matched 11 of those 28 times so far. Stats: Richard has matched 98 of his 233 most recent attempts (42.1%), 81 of his last 190 attempts (42.6%), 37 of his last 93 attempts (39.8%), and 18 of his last 49 attempts (36.7%). His overall success rate is *41.7%* and this is his 711th attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Fannie has matched 14 of her 29 attempts (48.3%), Charles has matched 33 of his 69 attempts (47.8%), Brett has matched 30 of her 70 attempts (42.9%), and Richard has matched 296 of his 710 attempts (41.7%). Bill Cullen didn't match on his single attempt and Debralee hasn't had a chance yet to answer a H/H question. *Today's H/H question: "________Plank"* (Walk the. It came to mind the second Gene read the question.) The contestant seems to have come up with answer fairly quickly too. The camera cuts to Richard as he's finishing - Richard is generally prompt in filing his answers. (But he has a lot of practice, after all!) I've been on a hot streak matching the contestants lately, and that streak continues today as our new champion quickly and confidently says "Walk the plank." Honestly, I can't think of another decent answer, and the audience gave this one its stamp of approval as well, so it feels likely that we're going to see another big winner here in a moment. Nope. With minimal preamble, Richard reveals "Gang." No H/H match today. ~~~Here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (For tied scores, I consider the one with the greater number of matches to be higher; if the matches are equal, the celeb who first achieved that score goes on top.) Orson Bean - 100% (4 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 71.4% (5 wins in 7 attempts). Betty - 50.0% (19 wins in 38 attempts). Fannie - 48.3% (14 wins in 29 attempts). Charles - 47.8% (33 wins in 69 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 42.9% (30 wins in 70 attempts). Richard - 41.6% (296 wins in 711 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1063, excluding the missing/damaged/unavailable episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, 910, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027, 1028, 1029, and 1030. *Also, note that episode 849 was never produced. (These stats do, however, include the H/H results of missing episode 968 as those results were revealed in episode 969. Note: There was no H/H in missing episode 1035, as we learn in 1036.)
Someone recently posted the original master of this episode, and during the fee plugs, they pan to a guy wearing a T-shirt that reads "Sex Instructor." ua-cam.com/video/BWIFQaXaBFE/v-deo.html
Buzz,1 OF the MOST ENTERTAINING Contestant ever!! Charles, Fannie & Richard..OUTSTANDING!!
Fannie’s “baby” answer was great.
I'm glad we get to see Buzz a bit longer. 😊
No one now living is as quick-witted as Charles Nelson Reilly.
Not in the US, but I think you'd enjoy Lee Mack in the UK. There's a handful of quick-witted ones over there, but he's the fastest.
Hysterical! Gene says he doesn't understand the contestant's answer "Pool" implying it's a rotten answer... and Brett matches!

Bill Cullen....the celebrity who has hosted nine game shows...a world record
@A.D. WOW!
I thought he looked familiar!
I always liked him, he always had such good-natured humor, witty but gentle.
9? Wow.
Price Is Right, Blockbusters, Jokers Wild...what else?
For the "Richard Dawson" question, I immediately thought of "LIPS", since he kisses every winning female contestant he can! 😮😊
Yes, despite the fact that none of the panelists said it, "Lips" was indeed the definitive answer!
Good job Buzz I thought salt 🧂🧂 too
I miss Fannie's funny shirts
Buzz was great. He'd be great to talk with. 😊😄🤣
Jessie "Buzz" Goad passed away 18 days after Gene Rayburn.
Don't drink from that water pitcher. Dr. Welby keeps his goldfish in it
That Buzz...what a crack up.
guy is great
@A.D. Lol ! -precisely , and now you've blown his cover
I hate that Richard blew it for him on the $5000 question.
Canubus!
Debbie....oh.....oh my Debbie!!!
Another PG13 episode :( Thanks Debralee
2:28 Buz where did you find Gene's pants from MG73/MG74????? ;0)
He had some wild plaids!

🤣🤣🤣
i think that they were too distracted by Debbie to remember to slide the panel for the questions...
Dr Welby question I would say Sanka
I think my grandmother drank that.
1:03 Time warp.. 74? ;0)
Come ON,SERIOUSLY?!?! 2 people gave 👎!?!.?? What was NOT to LOVE about this episode, Buzz,Charlies Nelson..Debra ADORABLE...I just dont get it🤔
Grain silo
Grain alcohol in honor of Brett
Did Goodson and Todman require Buzz to wear a tie?
So does the button not actually do anything, someone triggers them remotely?
The button is real. The crew had not plugged the power back in after rotating the carousel to bring Debbie around.
Money?!? What a rotten answer. Body or lips is what I would've said.
They handed it to her and she blew it
Lately people have been giving answers that make it seem like they want to lose. Makes it seem staged.
My body would surely belong to Richard except I'm too old for him
Could they humiliate Buzz any more?
I agree. That was just wrong.
Idt Buzz minds he seems to be going along with it
I was thinking that too!
No because Buzz having a good time on the show, but nice try rhough
It was a gag Buzz was playing along.
Gene being stroppy with the crew again. :(
Yeah, that childish stuff and calling people "dummies" gets pretty old at times.
it hurts the show
Nothing worse than when he brought out a stage hand who was height deprived and had him stand next to the 6'7 contestant. Episode 1056.
Gene always has fun with all of the crew that he works with
@@greglauer And yet it always have been funny
Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50?
ua-cam.com/video/bEZkCnTKGW4/v-deo.html
Still a no.
