Sad thing is, this was taped 2 months after he died, as it was done in August of 1981 (I figured with McLean's presence it was from the last season, and in checking I was right). I'm sure he was smiling on her from above though.
***** Betty White was close to or at 60 when she did this. This was obviously from the syndicated, five-day-a-week version of Match Game that aired from 1979-'82 after CBS canceled it.
Note Betty's perception that she has been patronized by the much younger Sharon Farrell. "Look who's talking? Will you please ask *THAT* (pointing at Sharon) to stand up?"
+Montgomery Mall Dear Montgomery, why so negatve?Betty wasn't patronizing me. She was doing a favor to me , Getting me a close up and my friend, Fabian, gettng me to stand up and show off Fabian's pink outfit.I still have a white dress that Fabian loaned me that I still wear and it still is a beautiful summer dress. I wish I knew where Fabian was. So talented and I miss her in my life.
+Sharon Farrell I am sorry if it were interpreted as being negative. You paid her a nice, sincere compliment, but it appears to me the way Betty heard it was sarcastic "faaaaabulous". Betty felt the comment was patronizing to her, not to you. Please watch the clip again, Sharon, specifically Betty's facial reaction (frown, downward turn of the face, pointed finger, clenched teeth) as she refers to you as *"THAT"* not "her" or "Sharon" and in turn, you hold your left arm up while explaining your true sincerity. Betty stopped clenching her teeth. That is my interpretation of something that happened 40 years ago or more. I am sure she didn't hold any hard feelings over it. By the way, you did look very nice in your outfit as well Sharon! :-)
+Sharon Farrell I love you Sharon esp in Marlowe...this is a great clip and Betty was funny and paying you a compliment many don't get humor which is why comedy is hard to do
@@DA90027She was not paying Sharon a compliment. She was showing insecurity as an older woman being upstaged by a younger one. Notice Betty frowns, points and says , "Look who's talking, will you ask THAT to stand up?" If it were a compliment, Betty would have said, "will you ask Sharon to stand up?"
All of the Match Game clips by me have the same tags. Since Richard and Charles are generally associated with the show, they're on this one as well. - PAC
I always liked it when Betty White did her funny and very pretty dancing to the music of "The Stripper". In one show of Match Game, she actually started to dance like a stripper since the question on the show was about strippers and g-strings that strippers where when they do their strip-tease dancing.
this wasn't the first time Betty White did her comedy routine to the music of "The Stripper" on the Match Game TV show. She did it many times before or afterwards.
@man975dog CUT THE MUSIC! What I like to have right now is for all you ... Ah, sorry. Everytime that 'stripper' music come on, I've got to do my Ravishing Rick Rude inpression.
@Rlotpir1972 Betty White was on the Saturday Night Live TV show last year. She should have had a skit where she dances to the same music of "The Stripper" just like she did 32 years earlier on the Match Game TV show.
smittykins I remember her but barely.She was sort of a ditz head and not that famous.Her bio in interesting and her ex hubby Andrew Prine was more famous.His bio is more interesting.
+HattieLovesCattie-- Sharon Farrell, I did a nice movie with Steve McQueen called 'The Reivers", "Marlowe" with James Garner and Bruce Lee. There is a "Name of the Game" on You Tube called "Hard Case of The Blues"with the one that got away Robert Stack. I was 6 years on "The Young and Restless" and I've done 23 films."Cant buy Me Love " was a nice movie.."The Stunt Man with Peter O'toole. And the cult classic "It's Alive" Those are the fun ones i remember.I retired to the Fiji Islands in 1999 where I built a house on 5 acres on the beach in Beqa but got island fever and am now back in LA trying to find work in the business again. I did 4 Student films last year just to get new footaage.. At the height of my career In 1970 I had a baby and had complications and my hear stopped for 4 and 1/2 minutes and had an out of body experience so many people have. but it took the momentum out of my career.I couldn't read write, talk, or walk for about 3 years afterwards and had lost a lot of my memory. I've written a book "Sharon Farrell Hollywood Princess from Sioux City Iowa" about my career and love life. I met Andrew Prine on a film shot in Cuba"Kiss Her Goodbye" witth /slaine Strich and Steve Hill and where I learned to shoot a machine gun and lost my virginity to Che Guervera. I've had wonderful men in my life. Bruce Lee, Steve McQueen and probably should have been concentrating on my career more. I just never have been able to say "NO!".
+Sharon Farrell Hi Sharon,so glad to hear you are doing well now.I too almost died as a preemie 61 years and I I may have had a NDE too.How is your child doing now?Che certainly was famous.Thank you for your post and that you are still with us!! I used to live near LA many years ago.My Mother-in-law went to school in Brooklyn with Elliot Schick,he produced a few movies,inc the Smokey and the Bandit and the Oscar winning The Deer Hunter.What years were you on TYATR?My next door neighbor ( in Fountain Valley ) twin sons were on there for about 2 years.I think they played little Philip?This would have been in the late 1980's.I loved Robert Stack on his Unsolved Mysteries show.
McLean was the only star I never really liked. Sometimes he called contestants or other guest panelist dumb, but in a mean way. I remember once, he told an older contestant man how incredibly stupid he was, in a nasty way, and you could see the man was incredibly hurt.
Bret's improv was hilarious...time for your bath LMFAO!
I love when Betty says "I don't know what got into me..." HAHA!!
LOL
I love the way Johnny O says, "and...Betty White?!"
"The Password is DAMN!!"

I love Gene's response: "I do!"
There is not enough space or time to praise this show,stars and outstanding joy it STILL brings to people wherever it is shown!!
LOL. Now that can make Betty White's husband Allen speechless🤣🙊
Betty is so beautiful! :)
The look on McLean's face at 2:07 is priceless!
Rest In Peace our dear sweet Betty ❤️❤️❤️
RIP Betty White
Betty looked great, Brett Somers add lib was hilarious! Since I am studying to be a nurse "It's time for your bath now" was a riot~!
RIP Betty White. She will be joining Gene, Brett, Dick, MacLean, Richard Paul, Johnny O, and others in heaven.
Betty has great legs, Sharon Farrell looked great too!
Betty does have great legs!

try to get a read on the expression on betty's face when sharon farrell gets up and struts her stuff.
Love Betty and Allen
sometimes they just messed around and got away with it. it was a really fun show to watch and i always went bonkers when Elaine Joyce was on.
@smittykins
It's part of the random spontaneity that made this show great.
RIP Betty!
Show would be thrown off the air today.
I used to watch "Match Game", when I was young.
Brett wishes she was as good looking as Betty.

Do you have this episode? I would love to see it

He'd have been very proud indeed.
This whole clip explains Gene's microphone.

There goes Brett again...stealing the moment from Betty White... I wish Bret would just sit there and keep her mouth shut for once!
My opinion is...Horndog
idk what year this is but betty was probably in her 50's and looks amazing.
Shocking indeed. What would Allen Ludden have said if he saw that?
Betty is the only one left I think but not sure about the woman in the pink dress?Believe it or not,Gene trained as an opera singer.
According to Wikipedia, Sharon Farrell is still alive.

Sharon Farrell is very much alive
You left out the next part where Maclean Stevenson shows off his legs.
They always have the young/ a little dumb password player/celeb on the first seat in the bottom row 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ aha
She DOES have nice legs.
McLean was the only star I never really liked. Sometimes he called contestants or other guest panelist dumb, but in a mean way. I remember once, he told an older contestant man how incredibly stupid he was, in a nasty way, and you could see the man was incredibly hurt.
Poor McLean, torture. =P
ROTF! FUNNY!
LOL 😂
brett was always trying to be have the last word. betty couldnt even finished her dancing .
lol oxygen.
Still hilarious...
@fluteplaya22593 I'd say that's moreso, Sue ann Nivens return
Brett is such a camera hog! Let Betty have her moment!
Exactly!!! She doesn't even come to Betty's toes in terms of fame and likability. Betty is still famous and relevant today, in 2020!
Does anyone have this episode?
When did she do this?
do you have the whole episode?
...AND BETTY WHITE??
That was BRETT! And Betty white!??!!? But when people saw her new dress the announcer should have said BETTY WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Its depressing that most of these people are dead to a baby boomer....
Whats the music guys ??
