Richard scores an amazing 11th head-to-head match today. He has been chosen a lot in recent shows, despite his below-average track record. Here's an update on all 5 celebs to have scored 3 or more matches so far, along with their current accuracy %: Betty - 46.7% (7 wins in 15 attempts). Charles - 46.2% (6 wins in 13 attempts). Bert - 30.8% (4 wins in 13 attempts). Brett - 28.6% (4 wins in 14 attempts). Richard - 26.2% (11 wins in 42 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 143, excluding the lost/missing episodes 31, 32, 33.
I wonder if any of the winning cards given to the contestants have survived? Would like to have one of them, particularly one signed by Richard Dawson.
Ever notice how Brett is always coughing almost every episode? She doesn't even try to do it off-mic. Yet another way for her to gain attention. Richard says he's doing a Dean Martin roast. I can't find it. Anyone know if it's on YT? That Meredith McRae is scrumptious!!!
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast Dan Rowan & Dick Martin, March 22, 1974 Roasters: Joey Bishop, Foster Brooks, Ruth Buzzi, Richard Dawson, Arte Johnson, Steve Lawrence, Audrey Meadows, Bob Newhart, Nipsey Russell
that's like going to a TV show today for one little contest and making 20,000 in less than one hour, one game is half an hour and after that you can just quit and go home with 20 Grand.
Michael Nivens And insistent interrupting, bringing up Jack Klugman every other second for NO REASON, and non funny jokes! Oh and her always telling everyone what to do and not to do like she was the host! She never let anyone else get time in and she interrupted the serious part wayyy too much for the contestants AND she asked Gene to repeat the question after she had already written!
I think they had it playing it in the studio, because I've heard Gene and some of the panelists comment on it in a way that indicates they could hear it in real time.
i think its because of the slate they use in the very beginning where Johnny Olsen says the date and episode number, i was wonder the very thing when it just hit me that was probably the reason
@@drewtaylor2297 SORRY - NOT EVEN CLOSE . . . The "slate" provides a Reference Point used to sync the video and audio in POST-PRODUCTION, since they're recorded independently. The loud "clap" noise produces a spike in the audio signal. In our modern Digital Age - it produces a visual spike on a timeline graph viewed on one's computer monitor. I've done such editing professionally for decades. Editors use the slate on the video and the "clap" on the audio track - to locate various "Takes" in a TV show or Movie. Also, the info an Editor needs in Post-Production is written on the slate and spoken aloud.
I thought it was out of character for Olson to whistle when others were talking, but he was just giving the contestant a hint. Too bad it was a wrong one ...
watch this: he was also called out for ruining a whole round at 19:32👈 they had to replace a whole question because of him, while everyone else was already writing. lol
The movie Meredith Macrae mentions that she was in, ECHO OF A MASSACRE, was (eventually) released December 10, 1977, under the title MY FRIENDS NEED KILLING.
Amazing how stupid some contestants were. Entertainment was the reason. Still to this day producers have no problem finding entertainment like that. Dumbass people will always provide a show of fun.
Orson Bean was even more annoying than Brett in this episode, with his inane whistling and then ruining the question for Virginia, the contestant, A question with the easiest answer - "DIrections".
Brad Stephan I do not respect people like you because of your age and inability to keep your thoughts (that nobody else cares about) in your head and off the internet
Oh dear another sexist remark from Richard. Needs a kiss to get motivation instead of being a stand-up guy and try to match contestants in good faith, not because he just happens to be in the mood. And the implication about he'd love to go to bed with.....great danes.
I'm surprised they ever invited Orson Bean back to do the show. The guy had rotten answers and he was a complete annoyance. He and Brett should have started their own show, "The Never Match Game".
