Mr. Betty White is on Match Game for his first week. Today's Panel: Allen Ludden, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Joyce Bulifant, Richard Dawson, and Fannie Flagg
He was indeed a very nice man, even when he was in high school, my father in law graduated with him in 1935 at Corpus Christi High School in Texas. He also said he was very smart, but was always a lot of fun!
It's been a while since a contestant and celebrity matched on the head-to-head... Richard broke the losing streak today, earning his 18th match! Here's the updated accuracy stats on the 7 celebs to have scored 3 or more matches so far: Orson - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). Betty - 50% (8 wins in 16 attempts). Charles - 42.9% (6 wins in 14 attempts). Jo Ann - 36.4% (4 out of 11 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). Brett - 28.6% (4 wins in 14 attempts). Richard - 27.3% (18 wins in 66 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 183, excluding the lost/missing episodes 31, 32, 33.
@@hollystiener16 Allen did. The curse of being an educated man, I guess, growing up in one of those old fashioned school systems where kids had to memorize the names of presidents and state capitals. He'd have the last laugh, though, being able to smoke them all at a game of Trivial Pursuit.
@@brettmiddleton7949 Some people just retain factual information better than others. It doesn't have anything to do with a particular school system. Also, the entertainment industry doesn't require one to be good at remembering historical names.
So many people talking at once, almost missed Charles joke at 21:50 when Joyce said “Jack saw”, Charles said, “that’s President Arthur’s favorite tool!” and right before Gene snaps, “Audience, let me run the show!” and Richard holding up the ashtray, “did anyone lose a contact lens?” Or the blank card, “my secretary erased this!” Only us boomers can remember that classic Watergate reference, and this episode was taped in March 1974 (I was 14), Nixon resigned just a few months later. Really, I think this must be one of the funniest episodes ever.
Yep. He was Garfield's vice president and served out the remainder of Garfield's term after he was assassinated. He retired after finishing out Garfield's term, so never ran for his own term. He wouldn't have made it through a term of his own anyway, as he died a little over two years after the election of 1884.
Anyone else you can tell a lot by listening to the (quite audible) strokes of the marker on the paper. "Birthday" was a great example. Count the letters. Count the number of strokes on "y." If it was "Days" you would have heard a clear difference.
