Just trying to make sure he has their undivided attention to hear the question since so getting talking to each other or of course Brett who doesn't listen the first time anyway so Gene has to said the question again for her..
"king kong is much {sexier} than the jolly green giant". whaaaa? an ape is sexier than a green man... i could understand if it was shrek, but what would a deep psycho analysis reveal about this revelation?
Lol - it's The Match Game - it all happens very quickly and in varying states of inebriation. Here's a fun factoid from an article I found online: (I'll paste the link to the whole thing below it.) " THE EPISODES WERE FILMED MARATHON-STYLE, OVER A SINGLE WEEKEND. No wonder the panelists often seemed a bit tipsy as their answers grew more outrageous-they frequently were. Rayburn lived on Cape Cod, Massachusetts and flew to Los Angeles every two weeks on Friday, and then the cast and crew proceeded to tape 12 shows over the weekend. With such an exhaustive schedule, the panelists (and host) tended to imbibe a bit during the lunch break … and the dinner break. (Depending upon what time of day the episode was taped, the Styrofoam cup a cast member was seen sipping from was frequently filled with vodka instead of water.) Despite his onscreen demeanor, however, Dawson did not indulge; his beverage of choice was always coffee. The cast never appeared to be outright bombed, but they were decidedly “looser” in some episodes…" (Side note: I'm pretty sure Dawson was legit sloshed [or high] quite a few times. Even the finest actors have a hard time portraying drunkenness convincingly. Either and any way, he was probably my favorite panelist, if I were forced to choose. He was my $500 choice. That leaves me two more.) mentalfloss.com/article/82089/11-fun-facts-about-match-game
@@annika_panicka Some of the female actress on the panel have said that Richard did drink and had some in the styrofoam cup during tapings.. Probably not alot but I have read that..

Lol. Was she throwing another barb at American treasure Betty White? I wasn't really paying attention, but I know Brett is jealous of the Golden Girl-to-be who has now gone platinum.
Oh - she said it twice in this episode, or perhaps once in the previous one, then in the HAIRCUT round. Again, I wasn't really paying attention. I should probably rewind but I'm too lazy.
@@mlchc9004 Totes, and it's blatant and sad. Long live the beautiful and brainy Betty White! Have you seen that semi-recent documentary on her? She was one of the first female producers in TV and much, much more.
Thanks for the upload. Could you change the thumbnails so they don't show the contestants who won? It takes away the fun of watching when you already know who won.
I thought of Kermit the Frog, too. The Muppet Show wasn't on TV yet, but Kermit had already been around a long time and was a star on _Sesame Street_ (since 1969) to the point that, by 1973, there were jokes about him.
She seems like one of the best players I've seen, on a consistent basis. She did have one bad answer, but she is usually on it with the best answer. She would make a good panelist.
"I never would have thought a nice lady like that would have said that answer, so I thought I would." That's what you get for deciding someone looks like they wouldn't say a certain thing.... She's married. Even if she wasn't, she knows what's going on. It feels almost logical to me: get drunk, tango in the nude. Actually, this lady has a great skill for this game.

Love how Jim Backus kills it every time with his Mr Maggo voice. Love that character and cartoon!
And don't forget him as millionaire Thurston Howell on Gilligan's Island
Magoo
@@annika_panicka ... or as Judge Bradley Stevens on "I Married Joan."
"if at first you don't succeed, give up. Don't keep trying to be silly about it." Richard Dawson kills me.
Ah, Jim Backus! Love it!
Betty white is so adorable.
I really love Betty Whites' 'John Sultan" attempt.
She got loads of laugh there ... lol
Original airdate: November 6, 1973 on CBS Daytime
Gene’s tie: count up how many times you see it over the next few years.
8:00 after "dog" is revealed in top spot, Betty White sits there adorably puzzled by the fact she didn't say it! LOL animal lover that she is!
I've never seen Jean backus so cool! Elizabeth 😇
Jim I meant
We love you Mr Magoo
Jim Backus as Mr. Magoo! Fantastic!
wow. clear picture, thanks

Emmy looked like she could star in a Hitchcock film.. so cute!
"Kermit" - this must be pre-Muppet Show?
So odd, who would ever wonder if King Kong or the Jolly Green Giant is sexier?
Exactly.
This is the last episode in the Buzzr package of Match Game 73.
No it's not. It's Episode 56. That's all they go up to.
What’s a buzzr package??
Have you ever counted how many times Gene asks 'are you ready? ' Must have been a nervous gesture.
Just trying to make sure he has their undivided attention to hear the question since so getting talking to each other or of course Brett who doesn't listen the first time anyway so Gene has to said the question again for her..
There are times when he asks the same contestant *twice* if they're ready.
Myron looks like he could be related to Rutger Hauer or Mads Mikkelson.

Serious question: was The Muppet Show on the air in 1973? Because that Kermit question made me think about that.
The Muppet Show did not begin until Jan 1974.
I thought of Kermit the Frog, too. The Muppet Show wasn't on TV yet, but Kermit had already been around a long time and was a star on _Sesame Street_ (since 1969) to the point that, by 1973, there were jokes about him.
Kermit was very well known from Sesame Street by 1973.
I like the teacher,she's pretty.
She seems like one of the best players I've seen, on a consistent basis. She did have one bad answer, but she is usually on it with the best answer. She would make a good panelist.
I thought of her as timeless. No different hairstyle or clothes than might be seen today.
Under Da Sea!!!
half assed (My Mama's favorite saying.)
Huh! King Kong is more sexier than The Jolly Green Giant!?! Whatever.
bigger or better looking than the jolly green giant
I prefer it with just the blank. He's blanker than. My friend is blanker than yours. That's funny.

Lol - I think it's because she's an elementary school music teacher more than that she looks prim and speaks softly
On this date in 1918, Joey Bishop was born..

He kissed Fanny Flagg sitting in that spot on an earlier episode.

Brett gets nasty to Betty.
And I'm surprised they didn't match shave and haircut after what was allowed in the last episode.
A Haircut and a shave is EXTEMELY different. I get a haircuts, but you'd never catch me getting a shave.
And Brett and Betty are really good friends
