I agree; surprisingly Game Show Network hasn’t edited that out. Eva was a really good sport; many celebrities would have been offended. This was three years before the Lennon tragedy and roughly a decade before the Rebecca Schaffer incident; that “moment” could never happen today!
H/H match update: ... ~~~Today's action: Well, after all that Eva Gabor kissing business and a word from our sponsor, we pick up where we left off last time, and that's with our champion's third head-to-head question! Quickly recapping, the champ took Joyce's suggestion yesterday and won $250. (Richard's and Bob's suggestion weren't even on the board, so that $250 is a better result than it might seem.) She's chosen Richard for the H/H both times prior, and they matched once. She'll certainly choose him again... She chooses with conviction: This is now King Richard's 14th consecutive head-to-head question, and he's played 47 of the past 49 times. Happily, he's also been on a red-hot streak lately, matching nine of his last 13 attempts, and cutting Brett's lead in overall accuracy to a razor-thin margin! Stats: Richard has matched 110 of his 253 most recent attempts (43.5%), 49 of his last 113 attempts (43.4%), and 30 of his last 69 attempts (43.5%). His overall success rate is *42.2%* and this is his 731st attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Joyce has matched 3 of her 4 attempts (75.0%), Charles has matched 33 of his 69 attempts (47.8%), Brett has matched 30 of her 71 attempts (42.3%), and Richard has matched 308 of his 730 attempts (42.2%). Bob Barker has answered two questions without yet matching, and Eva Gabor hasn't yet been chosen to answer one. *Today's (first) H/H question: "Think________"* (I remember hearing "Think fast!" a lot when I was kid around that time. Kids would say that as they tossed stuff at your face. Think for yourself? Think tank? - The Online Etymology Dictionary says the term "think-tank" as in "research institute" dates back to 1959, so that's a possibility. Think/ing out loud. Hmm. I'm just going to stick with my first thought "think fast" even though I don't think I'm likely to match today.) This one causes Richard to ponder far longer than his average. He looks over at Joyce before the camera cuts away. The contestant seems like she's not coming up with anything she likes yet either. When we see Richard again, he's looking towards Eva, appearntly reading something. He turns back to his own card, shrugs, and begins to write. After about three letters, he apparently discard that answer and begin another one which seems to be about four letters. He quickly files this second card. Wow! Our champion answers think "Fast"! I'm a little surprised. It was my best answer, but it still didn't seem to have that oomph you'd like for a H/H answer... The audience rewards her with a decent round of applause. Will Richard reward her with a $2,500 match? It sure seems possible. No poker face today. He's shaking his head. Is this a deep fake-out? I'm kinda thinking he really didn't match after all... Indeed, he reveals "Tank." (The look on the contestant's face is priceless. She clearly hadn't the slightest idea what a think tank was.) Gene's suggestion was "Think Big" which never occurred to me, but isn't bad either. No H/H match this time. ~~~~~ Our champion wins her fourth game by sticking a thermometer in Dumb Dora's "Ear." Charles gives the official winning match. *Today's audience match question: "________II"* (My thoughts: World War, Queen Elizabeth, King Richard*) *I don't know, I'm just punting. The celebs: Richard (World War), Bob (Elizabeth), Charles (One and*) *I guess Charles was just punting too. The choice: World War The answers: Godfather, King Henry, World War After choosing Richard three times (and matching once), does anyone think she'll change course now? This is now King Richard's 15th consecutive head-to-head question, and he's played 48 of the past 50 times. He's still on a hot streak, having matched nine of his last 14 attempts, and still within striking distance of overtaking Brett when it comes to his overall matching success rate in the head-to-head. Stats: Richard has matched 110 of his 254 most recent attempts (43.3%), 49 of his last 114 attempts (43.0%), and 30 of his last 70 attempts (42.9%). His overall success rate is *42.1%* and this is his 732nd attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Joyce has matched 3 of her 4 attempts (75.0%), Charles has matched 33 of his 69 attempts (47.8%), Brett has matched 30 of her 71 attempts (42.3%), and Richard has matched 308 of his 731 attempts (42.1%). Bob Barker has answered two questions without yet matching, and Eva Gabor hasn't yet been chosen to answer one. *Today's (second) H/H question: "Mink________"* (This one sounds familiar. It's either Mink stole or mink coat. I'll say coat.) Richard files his answer at the speed of light. Our champion gives the suggested answer and the audience boisterously applauds. I think we've got a match this time. Yeah. It's unanimous. Richard scores his 309th H/H match today. ~~~Here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (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). Betty - 50.0% (19 wins in 38 attempts). Fannie - 48.3% (14 wins in 29 attempts). Charles - 47.8% (33 wins in 69 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 42.3% (30 wins in 71 attempts). Richard - 42.2% (309 wins in 732 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1087, excluding the missing/damaged/unavailable episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, 910, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027, 1028, 1029, and 1030. *Also, note that episode 849 was never produced. (These stats do, however, include the H/H results of missing episode 968 as those results were revealed in episode 969. Note: There was no H/H in missing episode 1035, as we learn in 1036.)
I would've gladly paid $1000 to kiss beautiful Eva Gabor! Had a big crush on her since the First episode of Green Acres (that I watched first run way back then)
Today that clown would have never got near a celebrity and probably would have been escorted out and possibly arrested. This was three years before Lennon and at the time the thought of any harm by a fan was negligible!
@@lovett.da.j im very surprised that took place let alone they let it air how Gene got away with so much I cant believe how they got any young female celebrity to go on the show he way way over the top.
Joyce's answer to RD's Yul & Telly answer was terrifically funny!!.......
classic -witty , as well as cute
Oh yeah, I really 😍 her because she's not as dumb as her persona
15:33 Funnily enough, they do have devices to take temperature that you stick in your ear now.
Kris Ruppert
“He said ... stick it in my ear ...”
“ Don’t do it.”
In vaguely posh British accent.
That guy wanting to pay a hundred dollars for a kiss and only had 10 dollars was a real jerk. He didn't even take out his gum to kiss her
I believe if he had paid her she may have been arrested for prostitution. He was probably a member of the LAPD Vice Squad and was going to arrest her.
yeah, pretty obvious
I'm sure ava really appreciated that one from gene
I agree; surprisingly Game Show Network hasn’t edited that out. Eva was a really good sport; many celebrities would have been offended. This was three years before the Lennon tragedy and roughly a decade before the Rebecca Schaffer incident; that “moment” could never happen today!
If this is what happened on the air imagine what happen off the air
Omg! It’s so crazy seeing Bob Barker so young!
He's 98 now.

Poor Ava got robbed. Only $10 for a $100 kiss.
And yet Eva still got a kiss
That could never happen today; security wouldn’t allow it.
Eva is so beautiful!!
I agree. Beautiful, and uniquely funny.
Eva was the idol of youth. And she still is today; 25 years after she went off TV Heaven.
Disco-era Match Game.
Boioioing!
Eva was in her mid 50s on this Episode ...She looks Great
Judging by the look on Diana's face, I'm guessing she had never heard of a "think tank." She seemed very puzzled indeed.
I can see how someone who doesn’t live near DC or follow politics closely could be unfamiliar with the term.
I would've said think fast too. That's a better answer, simpler and more common.
Whenever a contestant starts their answer with "no offense" Brett should duck.
lol
She took it in stride.
She's a trooper, there were more and more Brett jokes, fair game!
Joyce was so sweet and funny
I'd be shocked if Ernest Borgnine won the Raquel Welch look alike contest.
If only Alex Trebek was on the stage/panel they would of had four of the best game show hosts all together.
Alex was 7 years from hosting "Jeopardy!" in 1977...he was not as well-known...
Bob Barker is still alive at 98!
Everybody in Hollywood was shocked when the Raquel Welch lookalike contest was won by Lassie
Each round seems one question more obvious answer than the other
I would've gladly paid $1000 to kiss beautiful Eva Gabor! Had a big crush on her since the First episode of Green Acres (that I watched first run way back then)
4:56 God forbid you say “November first” instead of “one November”, as someone may forget you work for the Defense Dept.
Why is the card always too light to read in the place where Eva is sitting? All others are dark and readable
Her key light was burnt out.
I'm surprised no one said Twiggy
Joyce gets it and Gene is clueless - they are suppose to try and match the contestant - not what Gene thinks is clever
Brett has the same affliction
in spades - it gets annoying
Completely Agree. Gene's egotism is nearly as bad Brett's. And her narcissm is is epic.
@@MikeSebastianVideos leave Brett alone.
In the opening, Johnny O says "match the stars."
Eva my fave of the G sisters
You can be the host of the most successful game show and still give crud answers. "In-seams?" Really?
Richard Dawson is acting odd😂
My answer would have been Zeppelin II, which would have flopped in front of the generationally distant panel like a lead balloon.
Or box office bomb from that summer, Exorcist II.
I would think B.O. would be a better answer than halitosis.
They could have had a social disease.
Body Odor?
Poor Eva I bet that was her last time on the show
Nice try. Eva thankfully came back many, many times.
Why? She was great entertainment in so many ways.
Today that clown would have never got near a celebrity and probably would have been escorted out and possibly arrested. This was three years before Lennon and at the time the thought of any harm by a fan was negligible!
@@Mozart2Muse yes very well put you understood my point exactly
@@lovett.da.j im very surprised that took place let alone they let it air how Gene got away with so much I cant believe how they got any young female celebrity to go on the show he way way over the top.
Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50?
