Betty scored her 9th H/H match today and seems to have a truly incredible gift for matching the contestant! She is now in second place for most H/H matches overall (behind only Richard), and has the best accuracy rating of any celeb who's been chosen more than 5 times overall. (Seeing both Jo Ann and Betty on the panel today with their above-average records in the H/H match, I would have screamed if the contestant had chosen Richard!) (Also, Morey has matched on a prior H/H, having been chosen twice. Will he get another shot this week?) Here's the updated leader board for the 7 celebs to have scored 3 or more H/H matches so far, ranked by their current accuracy scores: Orson - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). Betty - 52.9% (9 wins in 17 attempts). Jo Ann - 46.7% (7 wins out of 15 attempts). Charles - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). Richard - 32.4% (35 wins in 108 attempts). Brett - 28.6% (6 wins in 21 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 246, excluding the lost/missing episodes 31, 32, 33.
George Kirby's Wikipedia page does not mention military service, but he did do a USO tour with Bob Hope...and spent a little time in the pokey for drugs 😉
George Kirby kicked off the 2020 Summer of Love when he died a criminal having fentanyl in his system. He was personally thanked by fellow criminal, Nancy Pelosi.
This is one of those odd situations where a celebrity doesn't play a round (Jo Ann this time) because in the prior show a different celebrity who occupied the seat had already matched the contestant.
Very early on in the '73 season a male panelist in the first seat (thinking maybe Bert Convey, but would need to check) was the first to do this. And he did it a couple of times that week - but it didn't catch on. Watching these in order and wondering myself at what point (and in what way) the audience starts participating in this particular thing.
It would have been funny if Rose Carter had been on the show a few years later, they could have had some fun with her name being similar to the First Lady's.
I thought "big bad wolf" was the obvious answer to the Red Riding Hood question, considering the context of her story. I also thought of "loin cloth" immediately for the Tarzan question since a flag is a piece of cloth.
It was an okay answer, but if you think about it a little, "big bad wolf" was the definitive answer. After all, Red Riding Hood had a hard time telling one apart from her grandmother.
10:16 You can obviously tell that Jo Ann Pflug always did her early Match Game episodes on an empty stomach because she laughed when one of her answers had something to do with food.
ROFL! Another fine episode! :0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Charles! ;0) ROFL!

In an interview she said that her career was more important for her. If she had children she wouldn't continue working. I think it was in Intimate Portrait.
davidrbecken nope, he kissed everyone from the get go. On Family Feud there was a woman who said she & her grandma met Richard when she was just a little girl around 6 or so and Richard came over and kissed them both. The lady was in her mid-late 20's on FF so it had to have been in the days of Hogan's Heroes in the mid 1960's or before. Heard a similar story from another lady in a interview on Entertainment Tonight ( who could forget Mary Hart the interviewer? ) so Richard had already started kissing the ladies young and old by the time he appeared on MG.
Why... oh WHY did they bring Morey back? He is so ANNOYING! He's more interested in getting laughs for his answers than trying to match the contestants. And he's not NEARLY as funny as he thinks he is. 😠

Love this episode of MG, best ever🤣😂😅 when Richard came up with the perfect answer “ Brett” lol
Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50?

On this date in 1978, The tv show Fantasy Island episode Call Me Lucky/Torch Singer with Richard Dawson as Harry Beamus aired.
rest in peace , George - great comedian
wtg, Betty on the big match

I never heard of this guy.
George Kirby kicked off the 2020 Summer of Love when he died a criminal having fentanyl in his system. He was personally thanked by fellow criminal, Nancy Pelosi.
On Rose's question, I'm surprised no one said, "Wolfman Jack"
I was with Morey on the Tarzan question
I was with Richard. I said Brett too.
Panelists:
1. Morey Amsterdam
2. Brett Somers
3. George Kirby
4. Jo Anne Phlug
5. Richard Dawson
6. Betty White

First time I've heard the "how blank is it" bit. Betty said it. She must be the inspiration for including that bit regularly later.
Very early on in the '73 season a male panelist in the first seat (thinking maybe Bert Convey, but would need to check) was the first to do this. And he did it a couple of times that week - but it didn't catch on. Watching these in order and wondering myself at what point (and in what way) the audience starts participating in this particular thing.
@@mflanegan291 Yes it was Bert if I am also remembering correctly.. I wonder when it began common thou, I can't remember.. ;0)
I remember the audience doing that sometimes during Johnny Carson's monologues, and thought that was the inspiration for it.
I wonder how Betty really felt about that kiss....
C'mon, no Robert Stack?
It takes a real man 👨 to wear pink 💗
I noticed that Gene's shirt was also pink. Not quite as bold as Mr. Kirby's jacket, but still.
It's bright.
Come on, it does not. All colors are available to all genders. Brave indeed. 🙄
It must've been spring or summer. I remember guys wearing brighter colors during those seasons.
It would have been funny if Rose Carter had been on the show a few years later, they could have had some fun with her name being similar to the First Lady's.
I thought "big bad wolf" was the obvious answer to the Red Riding Hood question, considering the context of her story. I also thought of "loin cloth" immediately for the Tarzan question since a flag is a piece of cloth.
I agree.
It is not as much fun when the regulars are missing... Charles was sick last episodes.
And he made some comment about Brett needing to stay home for the next week,
Good to see that at least at this point Richard and Charles appeared to be friends.. ;0)
Charles wasn't here for this week of recording. I wonder where he was.
@@pencils812 Charles was not feeling well on last week shows
I believe Charles, Gene and Richard were at least work friends. Brett and Richard didn't like each other.
Is that the same George Kirby who Nancy Pelosi thanked for kicking off the 2020 Summer of Love?
I think it was Jo Ann who is the first to say, "How dumb was she?" This historical moment is captured a 8:00.
That was Betty's voice asking "How dumb was she?" at 8:00
Hilarious show! 😅
Totally .
I thought Martha Ray was a great answer. Her nickname was bigmouth.
It was an okay answer, but if you think about it a little, "big bad wolf" was the definitive answer. After all, Red Riding Hood had a hard time telling one apart from her grandmother.

Not sure why she thought moss rock was so funny.
@@pencils812She was out of her mind.
Morey couldn't come up with Robert
I thought Martha Raye was a good answer.It was the first thing that popped into my head.
Call me crazy but isn't the definitive answer to the first question "navel"? 🙄
Jolly Green Navel? Most navels aren't fuzzy. I thought "peach" was probably the definitive answer.
Love Brett Somers. What a great woman!
So do I.
Jack is adorable and handsome. 😊
For anybody who didn't do good in English, you just got a grammar lesson

Johnny Olson sounds bored and maybe a bit mad during the slate.
More was always the comic never tried to watch the contestant
Brett is clueless
Don't be a hater,hater
That is no eurprise
@@joeambrose3260look who is being a mentor for the class.
Why didnt betty white have any children
She had 3 step
She would’ve had beautiful children
I would guess that either Allen or Betty was infertile.
In an interview she said that her career was more important for her. If she had children she wouldn't continue working. I think it was in Intimate Portrait.
Some women don't want 'em. I never did.
I wonder if Richard Dawson got the idea that all women wanted to kiss him from Gene Rayburn?
davidrbecken nope, he kissed everyone from the get go. On Family Feud there was a woman who said she & her grandma met Richard when she was just a little girl around 6 or so and Richard came over and kissed them both. The lady was in her mid-late 20's on FF so it had to have been in the days of Hogan's Heroes in the mid 1960's or before. Heard a similar story from another lady in a interview on Entertainment Tonight ( who could forget Mary Hart the interviewer? ) so Richard had already started kissing the ladies young and old by the time he appeared on MG.
@@margaretkinnaman3154 He claimed it was an English custom.
I bet.
@@dmnemaine I bet made that up.
He didn't have an English accent.
Why... oh WHY did they bring Morey back? He is so ANNOYING! He's more interested in getting laughs for his answers than trying to match the contestants. And he's not NEARLY as funny as he thinks he is. 😠
Amen
He is good
