That was no meltdown.. also, school riot was not a meltdown either. In both these instances, Richard composed himself with dignity. HOWEVER, in that one episode where he spaced out and wrote 'sat on' when he meant to write 'eat' THAT was a meltdown.
Sometimes Gene steps in it when he shows off his supposed erudition. It's like his mangled pronunciation of gallimaufry -- he's trying to look smart, and he ends up showing he's less clever than he thinks. Of course, thinking on your feet while the camera is rolling is undoubtedly harder than those of us in the peanut gallery suppose it is. (Not a criticism of you -- I'm including myself.)
H/H match update: ... ~~~Today's action: Our challenger didn't stand a chance when the champion matched all six on her first-round question. (It sounded more like a second-round or even a tie-breaker question to me.) And so she makes her fourth trip to the blue dot on the carpet next to Gene. *Today's audience match question: "Return ________"* (This one sounds oddly familiar! Did they use it before? I can't remember any answers, though!) (My thoughts: To Sender, Home, Address) The celebs: Charles (To Sender), Richard (To Paradise), Brett (Address) The choice: To Sender The answers: Of the Pink Panther, To Sender, Address (Wow, kudos to Brett for quickly coming up with the top answer in third position.) Well, our champion matched Richard last time, and probably one other time during the unavailable episodes, so I imagine she'll stick with him. She does. Stats: Richard has matched 85 of his 201 most recent attempts (42.3%), 68 of his last 158 attempts (43.0%), 24 of his last 61 attempts (39.3%), and 5 of his last 18 attempts (27.8%). His overall success rate is *41.7%* and this is his 679th attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Charles has matched 33 of his 69 attempts (47.8%), Brett has matched 29 of her 69 attempts (42.0%), and Richard has matched 283 of his 678 attempts (41.7%). Patti has matched one of her two attempts, and Nipsey has had 8 attempts without yet scoring his first match. Suzanne hasn't answered a head-to-head question yet. *Today's H/H question: "________Pond"* (Certainly not a gimme like yesterday's "Engagement _______." Too early for "On Golden Pond." Duck pond? Koi Pond? Across the pond? Walden pond? Nothing sounds very good to me. I'll just say duck pond.) The champion looks pensive. Richard too, is looking momentarily uncertain. He glances at Patti, raises his eyebrows, and writes what looks to be a fairly concise answer. "My first response was Walden's Pond," she says, garnering only scattered applause. Richard says that was his first thought as well. (He shows a card with "Walden's" written on it - but when did he write that? I replayed that part of the video, and all I saw was him writing the short answer which must have been "Fish" and quickly filing it. The only possibility is if he wrote it immediately while the camera was focused on the champion, but it hardly seems there was enough time.) Anyway, he reveals his final answer: "Fish." No H/H match today. ~~~Finally, 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).

(As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library.

"Sit on it" was a putdown popularized by Happy Days, which started in 1974. So it's possible people today are missing the humorous content of an older cultural reference. To be fair, he looked ticked off, but that was WELL short of a meltdown, because we've seen him lose his cool!
Aw, I liked him! OK, he wasn't much of a player. But his story about being suspended for playing Gene Rayburn in an improv class in Catholic school was pretty funny.
the argument for face removing freckles worked in a different episode for arm removing hand. he says i'd like to see an arm cut off and the hand remain
I like Jonah. He has a dry sense of humor. Unfortunately, "blow" was a term not in common usage among the WWII crowd in which he found himself and so his (honestly) perfect answer resulted in only one match.
When you realize Howard and Patti hail from the same general locale, the fact that they share the same wry mannerisms starts to make a lot more sense. If you live in the mid Atlantic, you can spot that western PA, erm, “style”.
@@wh4193 Yes, it's really comical how he can't keep his eyes off Dawson and can't stop talking about him. Plus, nobody else EXPECTS Richard to be infallible. Only this commentator seems to expect perfection from Richard. Hmm.
That last question to the Howard Lefkowitz I thought "Smell" was a great answer. But no one else did apparently.
it' the only thing I thought of
Suzanne Somers was so damn pretty and sweet...I grew up a fan, grateful for all the laughs and just watching such a nice, talented person.

I agree! 💯
Nobody seems to care how exhausted he must have been. I know my brain doesn't work well and I'm very short tempered when I am beyond tired 😩😴
Howard Lefkowitz seems like a Jonah Hill character.
Yes
Aka Lazy Bum
THAT was a meltdown?? OKAAAAAY
I wouldn't call that a meltdown.
15:44 The Walden Pond I visited was in Massachusetts, not New Hampshire

My first though was On Golden Pond, with Henry and Jane Fonda, and Katherine Hepburn. But that film didn't come out for a few years.
the only Paris I visited was in Texas, don't mean it's the only one
I love Suzanne Somers she is the prettiest down to earth girl. 🥰
I never saw any meltdown
It's nice seeing susanne summers!
That wasn’t a meltdown.
That was a pretty mello meltdown. Think you should look up the definition of meltdown...lol
It's Walden Pond not Walden's Pond and it's in Massachusetts not New Hampshire.
Howard's jacket is outstanding.
His weird personality was the only reason he got on. Certainly not his intellect.
How about those blue glasses?
The jacket was very interesting to say the least
Yes Howard, it was very slimming.
Howard Lefkowitz is a rich entrepreneur living in Las Vegas and Henderson, NV.👍
freckles arent just in your face, but that was hardly a “meltdown” he was just joking

Hey Gene by rubbing noses with the pretty lady from Alaska as a kiss will that make her royal heiress Brett jealous of that.
Stapled: I'm scared I matched with Patti Deutch
😀
Howard Lefkowitz provided concelation prizes to game shows and went on to become President at vegas.com
Why don't you say Lilly's on this show?
That jacket is killing me
Gene wiped that lady's Alaskan kiss off his lips
11:30 Horrible Hannah and a nose both smell
Yea, how'd they blow that one so bad?
@@noampitlik2332 Don't know, it was right under their noses
😀
😀
YES, that's what I thought!!! 👃🤦♀️💯
(Run/Drip & Blow were good answers, too, but SMELL was the "definitive" answer, in my opinion... 🤷♀️)
Tibbets and Leftgowitz? Sounds like a cop flick.
I thought with Richard being English he would've answered across the pond
That was one of my answers, along with On Golden Pond, which couldn't have matched since it didn't come out for another 4 or 5 years.
Hmm wouldn’t say that was a meltdown. He meant his ‘go sit on it line’ with humor. ;)
"Sit on it" was a putdown popularized by Happy Days, which started in 1974. So it's possible people today are missing the humorous content of an older cultural reference. To be fair, he looked ticked off, but that was WELL short of a meltdown, because we've seen him lose his cool!
I can't believe no one said, "They both Smell!!" That's the definitive answer. Get it???
That's what I thought.
I agree with you. I think they must not have liked Howard for some reason, or they really liked the other contestant.
That's a great one!
Wearing a jacket like howards I'd say he and charles go around the same social circles
16:13 Any idea what Gene meant by "We don't say lilies on this show"?
Walden’s Pond is in Massachusetts!
Why can’t they say “lily”?
Good news: Howard Lefkowitz is no longer unemployed He's CEO of

He's unemployed and a student not going to school - - a millenial 23 years early

Loser for sure.
Howard was a drip

Howard was one of the worst contestant ever on the show.
On Golden Pond 😂 lol

Howard got screwed over cuz they put yet another round 2 question in round 1
Patti may be a few short on answers, but she sure is fetching.

Gene manages to be creepy even when he's just rubbing noses.
She wanted him to rub noses and kiss her. Jean did nothing wrong
God bless you
What about the woman? She's the one who wanted it. Nothing creepy except in your own mind.
Rubbing noses is not creepy because that is the way they kiss in Alaska
Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50?
