@R A good actor, even in comedy movies. He just needs to get used to the program and relax. Better a smiling, thoughtful panelist who matches a lot than a jokester who doesn't.
Arlene Francis was an American actress, radio and television talk show host, and game show panelist. She is known for her long-running role as a panelist on the television game show What's My Line?, on which she regularly appeared for 25 years, from 1950 to 1975.
George matched everyone He wrote hide when everyone else had find; he said bottle and everyone else said wife; he said upchucked when everyone else had slept …
That's just a common comb-over, very standard and sensible. If you think this one is bad, you haven't seen one that really is: a few strands of looong hair grown over one ear, plastered across the dome of the head to the other ear. It fools no one, and flaps in the wind like a scrawny wing unless it's gelled onto the scalp. But whatever the comb-over, yes, George Kennedy was cute.
That daughter herself and her two (non-biological) siblings were also adopted by George and his [second] wife. They must have been wonderful people. You can tell George was a lovely, thoughtful man just by seeing him here. He seems patient, pleasant and present. ❤
Patti was really hot and smart. In the early days of the show, there were more gorgeous women than by the mid 70s so she stands out. Same with men. I didn't even notice George's comb over.
17:10 Richard said _"Came for you in the mail"_ and presented Betty with something on a blue card that made her LOL. I wish I could see the notes and doodles they're constantly passing or hear more of their hushed off-camera convo.
19:30 Lol! I can't tell whether it's Brett, then Betty or just Brett, but 🎵 _"Hirahara nagila hara"_ is the best thing to have come out of the whole Hirahara wordplay bit.
H/H match update: ... Today's action: It goes to a tie-breaker, but our champion pulls out a third victory. Today's audience match question: "________ Shadow" (I'd say eye shadow.) The celebs: George (dark), Charles (me and my), and Richard (5 o'clock) The choice: Dark The answers: Eye, Me and my, Dark Our champ picked the top answer three times in a row! Her first H/H match was with Richard and it didn't go well. Her second time she matched with George. I'm thinking she might choose him again... ... and she enthusiastically picks George again! This is now his second go at the H/H match... (I see some parallels to episodes 645 & 625 when a contestant chose Isabel Sanford and matched, and then chose her twice more without matching again. For this contestant's sake, I hope the pattern is different this time.) Today's H/H question: "Race _______ " Car is my first thought, but track seems like another good choice. George meditates for a good moment before writing, and it looks like his answer is too long to be "car," so I'm thinking he might have written "track." The contestant seems slightly less confident this time. "Horse" is her answer. It's definitely a valid answer. I have no prediction. A bit of a fake-out this time. I had the feeling there wasn't a match. George said he'd thought of two answers, one was "track" and the other was... "Horse"! George Kennedy becomes the 17th MG celebrity to score two head-to-head matches! (And he did it in just two attempts!) (Joyce Bulifant was the 16th MG celebrity to score two head-to-head matches! -- And she also did it in just two attempts!)

George does it again! Yeah, his hands tremble when he flips his cards, he's clearly nervous. But it's a different thing, being an actor on a set, with a film crew around, and being in front of a live audience. I doubt he had much theater experience, and definitely not a live Vegas show. But damn, he came through big time here.
I don’t think he minded. He’s happy to see contestants win either way. I think that’s partly why he was not fond of the Star Wheel later on. Not so much he couldn’t be picked directly anymore but more that the contestants odds were now reduced.
Well, I'm not sorry to see Greg go. He was a pretty good player, but he had all the personality of a telephone pole. Whereas Patty is just delightful, and gorgeous. I'm in love with her! (ahem!) I'm also happily married, and old enough to be her grandfather. I love her in a plutonic, parental way. Just in case my wife ever reads this.
ROFL!! OK another good episode! Gene laughing is always fun. I know but I love seeing Gene laugh, sorry, I am sick I know. ;0) When Gene laughs is going to be a great and funny episode.. ;0) Uh oh Gene having brain reboots again, I guess it has been a long two days.. ;0)
ROFL! Another fine after dinner episode! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Charles! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Betty! ;0) ROFL!

George Kennedy - Match Game Rookie of the Year for 1976.
He was unreal! Definite match for Richard. Wish George had been on lots more!
George Kennedy was an awesome panelist!
Always liked him. He was awesome with Clint Eastwood in The Eiger Sanction. Would have liked to known him. Take Care
He was definitely a natural on this show. Or so it seemed. It would have been Great if he would have or could have been on more.
@R A good actor, even in comedy movies. He just needs to get used to the program and relax. Better a smiling, thoughtful panelist who matches a lot than a jokester who doesn't.
George was master of anything. Tv series, the big screen, game shows. Very talented and humble man.
Humble is the key word. 😉❤
Not to mention tough as nails
I loved George in those campy 60’s and 70’s and 80’s movies like naked gun & earthquake etc.🤗
There where I have seen him in The Naked Gun movies!!! ;0)
I didn't know that George Kennedy was so bright!
Arlene Francis was an American actress, radio and television talk show host, and game show panelist. She is known for her long-running role as a panelist on the television game show What's My Line?, on which she regularly appeared for 25 years, from 1950 to 1975.
George’s arrow down sign” Isn’t she gorgeous? “ Betty’s “Who do you have under the desk George “ takes the cake. Isn’t Betty gorgeous & witty
RIP Betty White. 31 December 2021. Almost made the century mark.
WOW! Is George EVER good at this game! All week, he's matching left and right
Every time I hear his name or see George I instantly flash back to his role in Cool hand Luke
My first thought was pooper scooper for the Noah's arc question.
Yeah, that's the answer that makes the most sense for a salesman to be selling.
Me too
If George Kennedy wasn't married at the time he should have taken Patty and she'd have made a whole lot more money
I like George Kennedy a whole lot more❤❤❤❤❤
If George Kennedy had become a regular, he could have bumped Richard as the contestant's favorite.
no way
He seems to have a sweet, gentle way about himself.
Oops.
Yes! He gave Richard a run for his money and that’s saying a lot bc Richards an amazing player
Not only is he handsome but he seems kind and gentle, just like someone said above.
George matched everyone He wrote hide when everyone else had find; he said bottle and everyone else said wife; he said upchucked when everyone else had slept …
I wonder, do the losers get the bucket of KFC on the way out the door? Imagine eating a drumstick as you're on your way to your car! 😆
I wondered the same thing.
They probably fed that to them while they waited back stage.
Thanks for posting this, George Kennedy was so cute, bad comb-over and all ! :)

@@LynxSouth you described my father 🤗
Baldness can be traumatic.
George & his wife adopted their granddaughter when their daughter was deemed unfit due to drug addiction. ❤❤❤
That daughter herself and her two (non-biological) siblings were also adopted by George and his [second] wife. They must have been wonderful people. You can tell George was a lovely, thoughtful man just by seeing him here. He seems patient, pleasant and present. ❤
OMG I’m crying at “Hey Noah! ... What?” Too Funny!
A couple of years later, one of the answers could have been "White Shadow".....
Patti, what a delightful contestant !
Patti was really hot and smart. In the early days of the show, there were more gorgeous women than by the mid 70s so she stands out. Same with men. I didn't even notice George's comb over.
I remember Chick-o-sticks.
15 cents at the concession stand and 10 cents for a large coke
They were yummy.
Patty was absolutely gorgeous.
“who do you have under the desk george” oh betty! 😂

Lauren : “I’m single” no kidding
George never had much hair. That's a good looking rug though!
Too yellow.

H/H match update:

Today's audience match question: "________ Shadow" (I'd say eye shadow.)
The celebs: George (dark), Charles (me and my), and Richard (5 o'clock)
The choice: Dark
The answers: Eye, Me and my, Dark
Our champ picked the top answer three times in a row!
Her first H/H match was with Richard and it didn't go well. Her second time she matched with George. I'm thinking she might choose him again...

Today's H/H question: "Race _______ "
Car is my first thought, but track seems like another good choice.
George meditates for a good moment before writing, and it looks like his answer is too long to be "car," so I'm thinking he might have written "track."
The contestant seems slightly less confident this time. "Horse" is her answer. It's definitely a valid answer. I have no prediction.

Lee Meriwether, I loved her in Star Trek the original series.
Ummmmm no?
@@alysononoahu8702 Ummmmm, Yes. She guest starred in the episode "That Which Survives."
Planet of the TAPES
(2 matches)
Funny that KFC was an advertiser after all the jokes about Colonel Sanders.
Brett looks so beautiful I love it when she puts her head down
DARK shadow (before help)
(stay with it)
$500 match
Race CAR
Bzzt. But good for Patti.
I wonder if shovel and pooper scooper would match because I said shovel
I truly wonder how Richard was dealing with this in his head after George helps her win a second $5,000? This is supposed to be HIS part of the game.
I don’t think he minded. He’s happy to see contestants win either way. I think that’s partly why he was not fond of the Star Wheel later on. Not so much he couldn’t be picked directly anymore but more that the contestants odds were now reduced.
I've wondered if Richard got tired of all the attention. He was always working harder than everyone else!
He'd just be glad she won
He was already getting moody when he got picked third in the first part of the super match
You could see he was miffed. George was matching better than anyone on the panel
Well, I'm not sorry to see Greg go. He was a pretty good player, but he had all the personality of a telephone pole. Whereas Patty is just delightful, and gorgeous. I'm in love with her! (ahem!)

The name of the TV show and movie was, ....Dark Shadows.......
not Dark Shadow.
Oh well it still got her $5,500
You're right. But, the answers came from the audience survey. So what ever they said or how they said it, was how it was used.
I thought Dark Shadows too. I used to watch it. I thought it was an 80's show!
@kristabrewer6736 Dark Shadows would have two runs: one in the 60s in daytime, and a very short one in primetime...

Great show, terrible editing.
Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2;50?
