The definitive answer was not BLIMP, it was DUCK. As in the song of the same name that was hugely popular in 1976. The operative word in the question was "waddle." Richard got it.
H/H match update: ... Today's action: As the prior show ended, our champion had just eked out a 1-0 victory, earning her a second trip to the Super-Match. So that's where we pick up today... *Today's audience match question: "I've been ________"* (My thoughts: Naughty, Framed, Waiting) -- I can't wait to see some really good answers because I can't think of any! The celebs: Fannie (Robbed), Brett (Had), Orson (Sick, but he also throws out Working on the Railroad) - Okay, totally different answers. I like Fannie's and Brett's better than mine... The choice: Had The answers: Working on the Railroad, There, Had -- Wow! Of the three official celebrity suggestions, only one was on the board, and the contestant was sharp enough to choose it! Kudos to Brett for coming up with it. It's interesting that she didn't even call on Richard for a suggestion this time. I wonder why? She scored a H/H match with him yesterday, and I fully expect her to call on him again today. (She took Fannie's suggestion and won $500 with it yesterday, but didn't choose Fannie for the H/H, so I doubt she'll pick Brett today.) She seems momentarily indecisive, but opts for Richard. This is now King Richard's tenth consecutive play, and he's been chosen 116 of the past 127 times. (Charles answered three of the remaining questions, Fannie also took three, and Rosemary Forsyth, Nipsey Russell, Meg Bennett, Scoey Mitchell, and Brett got one each.) Stats: Richard has matched 73 of his 171 most recent attempts (42.7%), 56 of his last 128 attempts (43.8%), 36 of his last 78 attempts (46.2%), and 12 of his last 31 attempts (38.7%). His overall success rate is 41.8% and this is his 649th attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Orson has matched 4 out of his 4 attempts (100%), Charles has matched 33 of his 66 attempts (50.0%), Fannie has matched 14 of 29 attempts (48.3%), and Brett has matched 29 of her 69 attempts (42.0%). Lee has only answered one H/H question, but it didn't result in a match. *Today's H/H question: "_**_______** Address"* (Hmm. Street address? Return address? I don't feel very confident about it, but I'll say return address.) Richard's answer seems to have several letters, at least six. But he finishes quickly, glances at Fannie, and files his card. Our champion looks confident. She answers: "Name and address." Hmm. I hadn't thought of that, but it sounds like a valid answer. She gets scattered cheers, but the audience reaction is far short of what would be expected for the definitive answer. I guess we'll have to see what Richard thought of. Oh my. I was right about Richard's answer being long, but I'm totally surprised by the direction his mind went. He wrote "Gettysburg." 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: (Note: An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (Note: 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). TIE: Charles - 50.0% (33 wins in 66 attempts). TIE: Betty - 50.0% (19 wins in 38 attempts). Fannie - 48.3% (14 wins in 29 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 42.0% (29 wins in 69 attempts). Richard - 41.8% (271 wins in 649 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 993, excluding the lost/missing/damaged episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, and 910. (As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library. Sadly, looks like they are lost forever!") -- Also, note that episode 849 was never produced. Additionally, these stats do, however, include the H/H results of missing episode 968 as those results were revealed in episode 969.
Julie was such a giddy youngster. Princess beaver face was my 1st thought. I've always been a fan of Fannie, Mercy ... I never realized how shall we say stacked she was.
It's a trope from British humor. You add that line (usually the other way around -- "as the actress said to the bishop") to any innocuous statement to immediately change it into a sexual innuendo. Instant vulgarity. "Don't bother waiting for me" "As the actress said to the bishop" -- that sort of thing.
are they SERIOUS!! They had that EXACT same question about King Kong just the other day! and why is saint Richard the ALWAYS the one to ruin it for everyone He's done that ALOT (and he's usually the only one too)
@kristbrewer6736 Richard had the highest match rate of any of the celebs at 42 percent. Go back and look it up.if it was my money on the line Richard is the obvious choice for those of us who arent jaded and bitter. Just saying.
Thanks for your work in putting these videos up and reminding me of a show that I used to watch when I was younger!
Edward Lozano the pleasure is all mine. Thanks for sharing this wonderful message! Keep on enjoying
Thanks for your work in putting these videos up and keep up the good work and please keep your channel
I just adored Charles. He was never boring. May he RIP.
I recently watched a bunch of Johnny Casrson episodes with Charles. He was a hoot. In some interview he said he'd been on Johnny 106 times!
@@pencils812I really enjoyed watching zcharles too. He was really on a lot of shows in the late 60's and 70's. He was a very good storyteller also.

I had it on 8-track when I was 11, absolutely hated it

the object is to match the contestant !!!!!- Brett
Thats incorrect. The contestants were supposed to match the celebrities.
I noticed your wearing 1rst t-shirt ever on MG 💜CNR RIP Sir!
Proud of you, Brett, for quitting smoking!!
🚭❣
Julie was such a giddy youngster.
Princess beaver face was my 1st thought.
I've always been a fan of Fannie,
Mercy ... I never realized how shall we say stacked she was.
Oh, yea. She's also got the breas....uh, best answers.
I'm shocked because they teased her constantly
Yes, Fannie had a nice set of ________s
At the disco, she's a blimp. At a rock concert, she'd be a Zeppelin!
Good 1s!! 😂🤣
What did Lee say after she yelled her answer, it upset Fannie. Brett just knows she copied screwed but she doesn't know why
I would've said I've been BETTER & HOME address. I would've matched with Disco WHALE!
Lol even back then there was the man-hole person-hole thing
Frisbee question's definitive answer is hub cap.
Yes, and "manhole covers" was a good #2 answer! 😉
What was the reference for, "That's what the bishop said to the actress"?
It's a trope from British humor. You add that line (usually the other way around -- "as the actress said to the bishop") to any innocuous statement to immediately change it into a sexual innuendo. Instant vulgarity. "Don't bother waiting for me" "As the actress said to the bishop" -- that sort of thing.
Charles didn't get it either, he kept asking about it.
I answered:
I've been HAD
HOME Address
BARK face
Disco WHALE
SAW BLADES
PEEING
SCREWED
are they SERIOUS!! They had that EXACT same question about King Kong just the other day!
and why is saint Richard the ALWAYS the one to ruin it for everyone He's done that ALOT (and he's usually the only one too)
How?
@kristbrewer6736 Richard had the highest match rate of any of the celebs at 42 percent. Go back and look it up.if it was my money on the line Richard is the obvious choice for those of us who arent jaded and bitter. Just saying.
this one smells like a set-up
I didn't notice anything out of order in this one.
Ive been cheated
