He had a lot of respect for her intelligence and wit. I have noticed during the head to head match, he will often look over at Betty to confirm his answer before he submits his card. He rarely did this with anyone else in chair #6.
They put Betty in the 6th seat but she deserved to be in the 4th one. Her answers weren't as crazy as Joyce,Patti or Fanny would give. She is awesome. Glad she's still alive.
oh no watch him later on get up to leave because he got EXTREMELY mad at saint Richard (not that I'm defending saint Richard, cause I'd never do that no matter what), but that was still uncalled for. (Especially knowing that was REALLY mad)
H/H match update: ... Today's action: Our champion won her fourth victory with Bill Daily's "Bathtub"! Today's audience match question: "Lion ________ " (My thoughts: Tamer, -'s Den, Cage) The celebs: Richard (Country Safari), Charles (in Winter), Betty (Roar) -- Not a great batch of suggestions today. The choice: Country Safari The answers: Country Safari, Hearted, Tamer She took Richard's answer yesterday and it wasn't even on the board, so this is actually an improvement for our champion. Quick recap: 1) Charles for $5,000 matched. 2) Richard for $1,000 matched. 3) Struck out with the audience match. 4) Who will she choose for today's shot at another one grand? I honestly don't know! I imagine Richard is likely, but maybe she'll choose a totally different celebrity. She has three "new" panelists to choose from (since this is her first H/H with this week's celebs). Will one of the new stars catch her eye? Will she try Brett? Will she go back to Charles? It's back to Charles! He's matched 9 of his 13 most recent attempts (69.2%). (I went back 200 episodes: from 616 to now, CNR has played only 13 times, sad but true.) Today's H/H question: "Part _______ " (Time? That was my first thought, and I'm not getting much for a second thought. Part and parcel? I"ll stick with time.) The contestant doesn't seem to have an instantaneous thought. CNR verifies the spelling to be sure he heard correctly and writes his answer. It looks likes he's writing four or five letters and he seems to dot an "i." Maybe he wrote "time"? (I get the feeling Brett was writing answers based on "Park" ______, the way Charles seemed confused when he looked at her cards.) The contestant says she drew a blank. "Nylon," she finally answers, to avoid the buzzer. Charles did write "Time." Since no other answers were offered, I'll just say that was the definitive response. No match today. (That means that Charles falls back into a three-way tie with Betty and Fannie at 50%! Those three stick pretty close together, just like Richard and Brett stick pretty close together!) 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). Gary Burghoff - 83.3% (5 wins in 6 attempts). TIE: (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Charles - 50.0% (28 wins in 56 attempts). TIE: Betty - 50.0% (18 wins in 36 attempts). TIE: Fannie - 50.0% (13 wins in 26 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 41.0% (204 wins in 497 attempts). Brett - 40.0% (26 wins in 65 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 817, excluding the lost/missing/damaged episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, and 645. (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!")
It just dawned on me, the ending of this show, two beautiful Miss America's on it: Lee Meriwether and Betty White, only Miss America missing here would be Mary Ann Mobley.🥰
@@helenlogsdon7822 yeah, since Betty departed in December of 2021, just a month before her 100th B-day, that would have her at 20 years old in 1941 so around the early 40s she was crowned Miss América.
Lion Sleeps Tonight, lion's share... And WOW, they'd have fun in the modern Match game with that stripper (but NOT that kind) husband and that name. And too bad Fanny wasn't in this episode, I would have loved to see her attempt at spelling "artificial respiration".
It's funny that Richard Dawson let Gene kiss his cheek, nowadays that would be looked upon as gay, but back then it was just for fun, how things change for the worse now as not many people show that they care anymore towards each other.
Oh no, it's the Son of Moby Duck question! The writers keep trying to revive this gag, and it just keeps confusing everybody. How, exactly, does a banana go about putting out a fire?
In keeping with the old adage tying a string around your finger, of course he's gonna tie his FINGER in a knot. Either part time OR part and parcel, other than that I got nothin. I had forgotten the term artificial respiration, nowadays it's referred to as CPR and 👄 to 👄 resuscitation
That big mouthed Brett shouted out "he's a canary" 14:05 and sure enough the lady contestant said canary and of course Brett had canary on her card... not fair....!!! But that contestant lost anyway so...
@@pencils812Gene looked like he was having the time of his life. Having an Emmy would've been nice I'm sure but remember there were a dozen game shows on at this time. MatchGame definitely was a conventional game show.
So nice of Richard to plug in Allen Ludden’s show. He & Betty are amazing with one another
He had a lot of respect for her intelligence and wit. I have noticed during the head to head match, he will often look over at Betty to confirm his answer before he submits his card. He rarely did this with anyone else in chair #6.

he always did
Charles could do no wrong. He was so amazing. Love, love, love him. 💘
oh no watch him later on get up to leave because he got EXTREMELY mad at saint Richard (not that I'm defending saint Richard, cause I'd never do that no matter what), but that was still uncalled for. (Especially knowing that was REALLY mad)
Charles is the cutest “I adore it” that made me laugh so hard 😂 hes such a gem. Betty also looks gorgeous as usual.
A convalescent home/hospital doesn't mean just seniors, it's those who are recovering from surgery.

Didn’t know
Lion Sleeps Tonight, lion's share...
And WOW, they'd have fun in the modern Match game with that stripper (but NOT that kind) husband and that name.
And too bad Fanny wasn't in this episode, I would have loved to see her attempt at spelling "artificial respiration".
Baldwin: "Jerry Cox?... That's a rather fitting name, now, isn't it?"
Gene loved wearing orange.
Lee Meriwether is beautiful.
Miss America 1955.
And on the other side of that spectrum we have Brett Somers.
She was on the show Barnaby Jones. playing Barnaby’s (Buddy Ebsen’s) daughter in law
As I've always said to anyone who'll listen, she's gotten even better with age
Ever notice these evening episodes when the celebrities change clothes but the contestants don't lol.
Free spirit flying again! ;0)
Good Game... Funny jokes..
Why didn't that woman think of part time?
Part nylon wtf? She froze up.
The whole time Ellen was dying for a cigarette.
Lion tamer!
Lion eyes.
Betty White is fabulous
As close as friend with Fannie, surly Brett knew that Fanny was gay. Brett is always trying to line up Fannie with a contestant.
are you SEIOUS lol? WOW
@@kristabrewer6736yes they were. It was show business. It's play acting. Notice Brett never tried to fix Charles up with a contestant?
It's my understanding that Fannie kept this quiet for a long time.
I want CNR's shirt.
It's funny that Richard Dawson let Gene kiss his cheek, nowadays that would be looked upon as gay, but back then it was just for fun, how things change for the worse now as not many people show that they care anymore towards each other.
Q
who cares
It just depends on the personalities. It's about comedy. Not many comedians today are as secure as Gene was.
13:45....THIS would be the definitive answer.....play on words.....Smokey The BEER
Oh no, it's the Son of Moby Duck question! The writers keep trying to revive this gag, and it just keeps confusing everybody. How, exactly, does a banana go about putting out a fire?

Did Barbara say she’s going to be a grandma? She looks so young
That big mouthed Brett shouted out "he's a canary" 14:05 and sure enough the lady contestant said canary and of course Brett had canary on her card... not fair....!!! But that contestant lost anyway so...
@Joe Mackojc yeah like Elizabeth Taylor was a stranger to alcohol and pain killers....!!! 😆
Brett is too loud, no class act
Brett was the absolute worst, even talking when it wasn't her turn. Shame on the producers for letting her attention-starved ass run amok.
@@mlchc9004 Loud, annoying, obnoxious, attention-seeking, physically unattractive...she didn't have any good qualities!
@@mikehunt4986 keep quite you nasty person.
If I were Bill, Gene would receive a right hook to the nose.
Gene really thought he was a comic genius. He was angry that he never earned an Emmy from his work of insulting people.
@@pencils812Gene looked like he was having the time of his life. Having an Emmy would've been nice I'm sure but remember there were a dozen game shows on at this time. MatchGame definitely was a conventional game show.
Smokey the Pear 😂
When, oh, when, will that "champ" lose? The sooner the better. Her attitude just rakes on me for some reason.
Luv her
Bill Daily...🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
“According to whats her name”. Gene was extremely rude
Do you realize the Gene was joking, right
8:40 Betty White
LOL
Lion King and a half
26 he wishes
Lion PORK ;)
I said, "Lion sack of..."
@@GizmoFromPizmolol!
STOP SHOWING THE WINNERS ALREADY!!!!!!!
Do you realize that MatchGameProductions does not do that all the time right, & even if he did I would watch the episode anyway
Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50?
