Great episode! I’d like to see all five from that week. Gene Rayburn is one of my favorite guest panelists 😎 Likely taped in early 1999 on GSN (when it was a good channel). 25 years ago. Seems hard to believe.
Boy, Gene and Kitty were really getting into it in the first round! And Peggy wasn’t too far behind! It’s been said that Gene was a notorious drinker! There are a number of video clips of him on “What’s My Line” and other shows where it was obvious he was sloshed! And “Match Game” in the 1970’s was infamous for its dinners between taping shows where almost everyone ended up getting smashed!
I’ve heard that it was customary to go have a couple of drinks after taping two episodes and again after the next two as they taped five in one day (Tuesday I believe). The cast on the black and white WML? also went out for drinks on Sunday night after the live show was over.
They should served fruit, cheese and crackers. The panel is going to get either very high or Drunk. I bet they will all be feeling mellow when the game is over. 🍷🥂🍇🍓☺️. NEITA.
Gene Rayburn with glasses here reminded me of the nighttime Break The Bank when Jack Barry wore specs.
Gene wearing his glasses! To me, that's a rarity. I haven't seen him too often with his spectacles.
Garry Moore sounded like he tipped a few BEFORE the show started!!!!!

That wasn’t water in their glasses on Match Game
What a fun episode🍷
Peggy Cass irritates the stuffing out of me.

The third contestant of girls that ride looks more like 26, rather than 16!
