Great channel.. I used to work second shift in 1973 in the Air Force and watched Match Game every day before work. Great memories. Just as funny today as ever.
This was my favorite game show to watch back in the day if I was home from school. I rode the school bus so it was already done by the time I got home but my mom would tape record the audio for me sometimes.
So funny! He predicted this when he wore that red, white and blue plaid jacket. He said there might be a problem in the future because he was running short on wardrobe. 😂
Someone commented that Steve became an Actor. I googled Steve Nave & he sure did! He gained real success in Casting & Producing. Early on, Steve was a Model & played for the Giants & Phillies rookie teams, too! God bless (RIP)💞
I don't remember Match Game from the old days but it sure is better than most of the garbage on TV today And we didn't have to pay an outlandish cable bill in the 70's
Betty White earns her 5th head-to-head match win this time (out of 12 tries, giving her a very good 41.7% success rate). Richard tops the list at most wins (6 out of 22 attempts, giving him a success rate of 27.3%, the lowest on this list). Bert Convey has 4 (out of 12 tries for a 33.3% success rate). Brett has 3 (out 10 tries, 30%) Charles has 2 (out of only 3 tries! - 66.7%). Others with 2 head-to-head wins: Jo Ann Pflug 2 out of 7 tries (28.6%). Jack Klugman 2 out of 5 tries (40%). Stu Gilliam 2 out of 5 tries (40%). (7 other celebs have achieved one head-to-head match.) It's interesting to note that Richard has the most total successful matches, but he's also appeared on every single episode, which no other celeb has done. However, his actual success rate ranks as the absolute lowest of these 8 celebs who've had the most head-to-head matches. *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 to 95, excluding the lost/missing episodes 31, 32, 33.
Ellen was a bit more loose in this..smiled a bit more..I think she was nervous and relaxed more after the initial start of the show... definitely more animated..
2:33 For all of the people who keep asking about Gene Rayburn's height: IMDb lists McLean Stevenson as having been 6'2½", so Gene looks to be 5'10" at the most. However, IMDb also lists Gene as having been 6'1". Obviously, our eyes and both of IMDb's claims cannot be true, so Gene's height is _________.
When Gene hugged Ellen after she won the five thousand, just before the break, she looked down at Genes hand on her shoulder and really looked as though she was very uncomfortable. She did appear very subdued as a contestant.
I never had a crush on Robert Vaughn but gee he looks cute and sexy here. I in fact had a crush on his tv partner, David McCallum and a really big one on Richard Dawson duing his Hogans Heroes period. But that passed pretty quickly lol.
I realize that this is intended to be a very light-hearted game, but with so much money on the line - they REALLY needed to iron out their matching rules. These judges are just so dumb/inconsistent that I swear they are basing it on which "pretty girl" they want to see win. Hugged=grabbed? WTF?
@6:15; thanks a lot Brett; who in the hell would have said; "his own General Grants Tomb"; you just cost Charlene the game trying to be funny. And it didn't even get a laugh.
Brett's joke answers are still far better than Joyce Bullifant's frequently dumb ones. Patti, too, at least hers were funny, compared to Joyce's. Joyce herself is funny to watch.
@@bethdibartolomeo2042 I rather read a dumb answer, but a real one, instead of a pretending to be funny answer. I never like Brett, always interrupting, pretending to sing, etc, She wasn't funny at all.
This episode is hysterical!! Sometimes I wonder what happened to people's sense of humor? Today's shows/movies/reality crap are not funny. Our society has become self-absorbed. "Everyone look what I'm eating, look how cute I am/the cat is/the dog is/look how funny/blah, blah, blah." 🙄 And then I see one of Drunky Clowns brother is running the country 🤦🏽♀️ Ty for letting me vent, I'm done. 😎
Was this contestant an actress or something she looks familiar then again probably just looks like anyone from a soap opera or a country singer in the day.
@Lisa1111 her granddaughter Tayla is in the pic with me. She tours with Conway's grandson and they are Twitty and Lynn. I found Tayla by accident and forever blessed
I was so upset with Brett after seeing her answer during the final game. SERIOUSLY!!??!! That wasn't the time for a joke!! UGHHHHHHHH Every time I try to give her the benefit of the doubt she highly disappoints. I'm hoping that she gets better as I continue to watch future episodes. I ALREADY know that she became royalty and I kind of den mother🤨😔😲
@@Tre404 THANKS for replying 😏😎 ACTUALLY I love to make people laugh and NOT TO BRAG BUT I AM THE LIFE OF THE PARTY...#IJS ALSO I was just stating a fact. The name of the game is MATCH not Joke.

One thing that you won't see on T.V. today, especially games shows is this kind of touching. Things have sure changed. This was all fun and innocent. Can't to that today, could be brought up on sexual charges. Which is a good thing nowadays, I suppose. But, back then it was all about the fun and laughter.
Actually no! He just wasn't famous. I looked him up on IMDB and he's got a lengthy list of credits - he did some soaps in the early 80's, appearances on Leno (as a skit character, not a guest) and a few others through to the present. He is listed as "Himself" for this Match Game episode.
Deranged?? Why was Brett roasting the contestants??? It was funny to roast the celebrities BUT what the H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS???!!!??? She must've REALLY been DROWNING IN THE SAUCE. LIKE CRAZY!!!
I'm spending the Great COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020 binge watching Match Game.
The Great COVID-19 pandemic? What's so great about?
Don't answer. That's rhetorical.
Hollywood Squares was wild, but for sheer INSANITY, you had to watch Match Game!
Hell, yeah! Aren't ad-libs fun?
Me who watched mghsqh...why?
When I need a good laugh I watch an episode of match game their so damn funny.😆😆😆
Never a dull moment watching match game 73 😆😆😆
Great channel.. I used to work second shift in 1973 in the Air Force and watched Match Game every day before work. Great memories. Just as funny today as ever.
One of the funniest game show's ever!!
This is my favorite episode so far. You can tell it's unscripted. I love the random humor. Lol @Goodwill.
I used to run home from School to watch this show every week day afternoon. Couldn't wait.
This was my favorite game show to watch back in the day if I was home from school. I rode the school bus so it was already done by the time I got home but my mom would tape record the audio for me sometimes.
The Largo @ 1:49 was a Strip joint that was bought out only a few months after this was filmed, and became the World Famous Roxy Theater.
Thanks!!🤔😏
thank u for the history lesson VERY COOL!
Awesome I didn’t get the gag!
McLean was a really funny wacky guy
I think he's annoying.
He's out of his mind. I did not appreciate his clothes removal. 😵😄
So funny! He predicted this when he wore that red, white and blue plaid jacket. He said there might be a problem in the future because he was running short on wardrobe. 😂
Robert Vaughn actually matches someone!!
good actor, but dumb as a stump... lol
A republican.
The game is harder than it appears especially if you don't watch it often.
Someone commented that Steve became an Actor. I googled Steve Nave & he sure did! He gained real success in Casting & Producing. Early on, Steve was a Model & played for the Giants & Phillies rookie teams, too! God bless (RIP)💞
He was also the host for a number of beauty pageants.
Mclean “does anybody know where Goodwill is”
My mom and I watched this during the summer and really enjoyed it!
Poor mclean he'll be remembered for only one thing, leaving one of the most successful comedies in tv history.
I think Ellen looks like Ronnie Clair Edwards ( Cora Beth ) on The Walton's.
Bryan Chase Yes!
Bryan Chase Same personality too...
Watching the previous episode, I assumed that it WAS her in a Kirstie Alley-esque 'before-they-were-famous' game show appearance.
Interesting you say that.
Never watched The Waltons much but was thinking here clothes & hair looked very 1800s.
@@UberLummox The Waltons was set in the 20th century, not the 19th.
I even gasped at his jockey shorts! My goodness!
Wow! Ellen finally smiled!
Eminem finally smiles; WHEN, HOW OFTEN?
McLean is hilarious...
I don't remember Match Game from the old days but it sure is better than most of the garbage on TV today
And we didn't have to pay an outlandish cable bill in the 70's
I agree with it being better than most of the garbage on TV today. However, just remember how many channels you had back then.
@@deanstrand4260 Quality rather than quantity.
Ellen looks like Helen Crump on the Andy Griffith Show.
WOW! she really DOES
Nancy Dussault would soon co-host Good Morning America
Went on to "Too Close for Comfort".
Only place I know her from is Too Close for Comfort (and a guest appearance on Full House)
@@kristabrewer6736 Guest appearance as Andy's ex-turned-singer on WKRP.
McLEAN 😍🥵🔥
Can't believe "broad daylight" wasn't up there
Love McLean. He's was one super funny guy.
His comedy knows no bounds. Even funnier on other episodes.
Yet hi sitcom was junk lol I love him on here until he gets creepy
I was 9 in November 1973, and I had a HUGE crush on him. He should've been a talk-show host.
@@NimsQuarloYa think?
Whatever became of "Steve." Best two minutes of television.
I can’t tell if Ellen was very seriously determined or just has resting mean face.

@@sdlively27 it's hard to believe a lot of the b.s. that comes out of some
people's pieholes
Richard Dawson always loved to be the center of attention
McLean was AWESOME
I can't believe that Brett isn't flirting with Steve the way she did with that contestant named Bill.
Loved Ellen's1940s hairdo! She was retro before this show became retro!
WTF? McLean couldn't get someone to do his laundry?
It was a running joke this week about borrowing clothes for the show.
$5,000 in 1970 would be the equivalent of $30,000 today!
Dried figs and rice a roni if you lost at least you were regular.
11:50 O.O I had no idea you could say that on television in the 70's.
Good for Ellen! The real Ellen came out and she is wonderful! 🥰
Don't tell me; McClean is auditioning for Chippendales...
Ellen reminds me of Yvonne DeCarlo.
She reminds me of Anita Corsaut, who played Helen Crump on Andy Griffith
Steve was adorable!
I didn't like his 1st answer the r word on what the gorilla did to Barbara at the zoo. Like really that's the 1st thing that came to his mind?
Ellen was much more relaxed and less severe in this episode. She did seem to not think too much of Steve though.
Wow- 2 of the main sponsors are rice and figs!
When Gene hugged Ellen after she won the five thousand, just before the break, she looked down at Genes hand on her shoulder and really looked as though she was very uncomfortable. She did appear very subdued as a contestant.
She looked fine 2 me.
McLean hilarious
"General Grant Tomb"??? WTF is wrong with that woman?
How would that suit jacket look on Gene? But McLean wanted to wear that one instead; went better with the tie, but I don't think with the pants.
0:10 SHIRTLESS MACLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know. DISGUSTING!
@@kristabrewer6736 Eye of the beholder. The only disgust is in your own mind.
So, was McLean wearing a hair shirt? 🤔

I agree 100% the game is totally unfair. Brett always gave stupid answers like she did again in this episode. The players didn't have a chance
You think some of the answers were intentional to make contestants lose once they won too much
YES. But also to sandbag contestants whom they did not like.
@6:15; thanks a lot Brett; who in the hell would have said; "his own General Grants Tomb"; you just cost Charlene the game trying to be funny. And it didn't even get a laugh.

Someone else said she looks like Cora Beth from The Waltons! Soon as I read that I went YEAH! That's who she reminds me of :)
Most of the women were beautiful back then.
This is rare indeed, one of the first episodes I've never seen before. They musta dropped the N from Mrs.Hoeys name
I love match game! what gold star Episode?

'72 here :)
Ellen I can see is a huge fan of Betty
That poor wanna be actor got figs as a consolation prize. lmao
That "wanna be actor" BECAME a successful actor and producer. Hopefully the Academy gave out awards that were better than figs.

I think ole Gene was into that Ellen just a bit wasn't he? Maybe that's where Richard Dawson learned his kissing habit?
