H/H match update: ... Today's action: As the prior show concluded, Richard's "Toaster" sent the challenger packing, and our champ stepped up to center stage for her third time.

Still, I'd be plenty surprised if she chose anyone else. Yup, This is King Richard's fourth consecutive play and now he's been chosen 83 of the past 88 times. (Charles answered three of the remaining questions and Rosemary Forsyth and Nipsey Russell got one each.) Richard has matched 60 of his 138 most recent attempts (43.5%), 43 of his last 95 attempts (45.3%), and 23 of his last 45 attempts (51.1%). His overall success rate is 42.0% and this is his 616th attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Charles has matched 33 of his 66 attempts (50.0%), Brett has matched 28 of her 68 attempts (41.2%), Patti has matched one out of two attempts, and Nipsey has played 8 times without yet matching. Gene comments on *Richard's "Match Game" NECK TIE* (which Richard plays with for a moment) and then Gene reads... Today's (first) H/H question: "Neck ________" (Free money today! Too obvious to even bother writing it here!) The contestant shocks the heck outta me by saying "-lace". The audience is booing like crazy, and I think she realizes what she should have said...

“Phil the Fisherman is such a klutz, when he went flycasting, he cast the hook into his fly.” I thought it was the obvious answer. That’s where the old saying comes from, “The fly is cast.”
My dad was a fly fisherman and even tied some flies. Once, when camping in Yellowstone's Madison Campground in the mid 1950s, he cast a fly and hooked his earlobe.!. True story.
You'd think that after as much trouble as they'd had with the button not making the round's "sign" go down, or making the wrong 1 go down, they would've gotten that fixed, especially after they spent money on new carpeting and a new paint job awhile back (it's not like they didn't have enough money to get that fixed)... 🙄
I've been trying to determine if Lillia is part Asian. She said "struck" but I don't think it was as in hit...i think it was in reference to being on strike.

Well, dang it all. Even considering the times when it was much more prevalent and the times she came from where smoking was encouraged and even advertised as medically acceptable (remember Camel's ads that said "Four out of five doctors who smoke recommend Camel cigarettes"?) it's just disappointing.

Seems like somebody really wanted her to finally win the Super Match with such a gimme question. But I wanted her to win, too.
Yeah, I mean, could there be a more obvious "match"?
You just now seeing this??
They've had obvious matches many times!
How could she NOT say..Necktie?
Richard and Gene were given those ties in an earlier episode of MG. Can anyone remember which episode number it was? IIRC, Gene took his off and gave it to Charles, who then gave Gene his neckerchief to wear throughout the episode.
It was on Episode 914. This is the episode where Gene attack’s the cameraman!
Nice to see Richard wearing it. When he first got it, Someone commented that they thought Richard would throw it out.
Lilia realized her mistake the second it came out of her mouth. i thought it was a shoe in.
Can't believe no-one said "Swiss Army Knife"
She wasn't very attentive, that was a no brainer
Cheese question wouldn't Swiss army knife be THE answer?
Is it just be or does Arlene look a little like Helen Mirren (or vice versa)?
Is it just be is funny
Yes, she does remind me of Helen Mirren.
low man on the totem pole is the strongest!!! it is the main support for all the other spirits.

“Phil the Fisherman is such a klutz, when he went flycasting, he cast the hook into his fly.”

I thought it was "the dye is cast"

Wish the TV audience could get in on the jokes.
You'd think that after as much trouble as they'd had with the button not making the round's "sign" go down, or making the wrong 1 go down, they would've gotten that fixed, especially after they spent money on new carpeting and a new paint job awhile back (it's not like they didn't have enough money to get that fixed)... 🙄
Maybe Gene liked being silly with it.
@@pencils812 exactly, it became a running bit
Mark Goodson was notoriously cheap that might have had something to do with it.
Hold up. On a previous ep, they allowed money to match with purse; but on this one, they won't match chipped with struck. Whatever.
Yep, like I always say: they're so inconsistent that it drives me crazy! 😒
C I blank
are they SERIOUS!!!
Finally all caught up!
I've been trying to determine if Lillia is part Asian.
She said "struck" but I don't think it was as in hit...i think it was in reference to being on strike.
Yes! I have an Asian friend, she gets words like that mixed up. Struck didn't mean hit, I think she meant strike, past tense.
I would have said, a Swiss Army knife.
I woulda said he cast the fly into his FLY

Richard kissed that foxy mamma so many times, in some cultures they'd be married.
Richard wouldn't last in today's world. Don't like him.
@@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687 yes he would 😋
@@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687 We know. You go on about it ad nauseum. More so than your love for Brett. Get a life.
@@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687Who would've guessed. Are there any men you do like?
Arlene Francis smoked I am surprise
reg buc I was shocked to see that too! Didn’t like seeing that at all!
Correct me if I'm wrong but It looked like Richard Dawson had Benson and Hedges Cigarettes.
Well, dang it all. Even considering the times when it was much more prevalent and the times she came from where smoking was encouraged and even advertised as medically acceptable (remember Camel's ads that said "Four out of five doctors who smoke recommend Camel cigarettes"?) it's just disappointing.
Yes she smoked (lots of people did) In the grand scheme of things it really doesn't matter. Nobody is going to live forever (who would want to?)
That was a pity win!
They picketed George Washington's nose.

Hey jack Klugman your ex wife brett is in love with gene Rayburn
What's that look that Patty D. gives everytime she's introduced? Looks like something stinks.
I know... It's the only thing about her that I don't like because, at that moment, it always looks like she really hated to be there... 🤷♀️
I'm not sure but it's pretty pathetic. Maybe she thinks it's sexy🤭
she stole that from Ruth Buzzy on Laugh In but it didn't work for her. she just looked as stupid as her answers
Patti seems depressing and she doesn’t match on purpose a lot
