Charles scored his 14th H/H match today, and moves ahead of Jo Ann Pflug in the accuracy department. He's now solidly in second place for both times chosen and total H/H matches. He also has the best track record of the regular celebs by far. This was also the first successful H/H match this week. (Fannie was selected yesterday, but sadly didn't match the contestant. She's been selected 7 times so far and has matched once.) Here's the updated leader board for the 8 celebs to have scored 3 or more H/H matches so far, ranked by their current accuracy scores: Orson - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Betty - 52.2% (12 wins in 23 attempts). Charles - 48.3% (14 wins in 29 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 46.7% (7 wins in 15 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). Richard - 32.1% (42 wins in 131 attempts). Brett - 28.6% (6 wins in 21 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 288, excluding the lost/missing episodes 31, 32, 33.
The look on Gene Rayburns face and Bretts reaction when the contestant said Brett to keep her mouth shut as the answer to her question made me almost fall to the floor laughing!
The way she laughs when everyone roasts her is a very endearing trait. I've noticed that questions geared to insulting her have become a pretty regular feature of the show recently.
Wow did anybody else notice when Gene was about to ask the female contestant for her 3rd pick from the panel, Charles blurted out Hi-ho. She didn't choose Charles.
It sounded like a couple of panelists gave my answer for the toupee question, they ALL shoulda answered punchbowl. I think fins is an excellent answer, in fact they would look awesome on a sharkskin jacket
I'm also happy when CNR is chosen for the head-to-head match. I honestly think he's just as good a player as RD. No one can match every time, but I'm sure the contestant was happy she chose Charles this time. -- My first thought hearing the question was the same answer they both gave, but then I wondered if the contestant might say "Coat of many colors".
From Brett’s first show to getting on gene’s Rayburn’s nerves Brett laughing at the to keep her mouth shut is hilarious and gene has a smile on his face
another comment. I think Gene really does get upset when Brett is eating on set. That`s why he threw the hard candy into the audience. Maybe the director of the show has told him if he sees Brett eating to get on her case about it as often as he can, because it seems like she`s always sneaking some little munchy in her place on the set.
Well Gene didn't like seeing people eating on tv and got them all to agree to not eat on set but Brett and Charles kept beating it and upset Gene. Althou that might have been the point to get a laugh at Gene throwing food away.. ;0)
@@sdlively27 He may have gotten people to _say_ they wouldn't eat on set, but they clearly did not actually agree. I'm guessing they were resisting Gene taking himself too seriously.
ROFL! on the Brett answers... ;0) Almost like the week taping at Studio 41.. ;0) Gee guys how many times does he have to tell you no eating on the show.. geez..
In 1974, Masquerade Party was revived for syndication by Stefan Hatos-Monty Hall Productions and aired weekly for one season. Richard Dawson hosted the revival with Jay Stewart announcing. The basic premise was the same as the original show. Bill Bixby, Lee Meriwether, and Nipsey Russell were regular panelists. Col. Harland Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame made an appearance as a celebrity guest. A reference to this version was made in a final-season episode of The Odd Couple. Felix asks Oscar what he is watching on television, and Oscar reports, "Masquerade Party with Richard Dawson." Felix, who said he knew Dawson in the Army, replies "That man ruined my life!". There are episode on youtube...
5:46 Gene asks the contestant to call on one more celeb, she says nothing while Charles proceeds to give an answer. Bad editing or did CNR speak out of turn, or maybe she already said it or pointed at him during all the cheering of the previous answer? We'll never know.
Happy Mother’s Day to Brett somers in heaven and Helen Rayburn in heaven too hey gene give your wife flowers and jack give Brett some flowers and some loving
Technical crew was on strike.. so the director wasn't drunk but doing the best he could do with what he had as they had been on vacation for a month and already had Gene flying in.. ;0)
Why does BRETT ever have to butt in every single time? It’s so irritating! Gene was speaking to Charles and of course, BRETT has to make her comments! It’s so irritating. It’s just sickening how she starved for camera time trying to upstage everyone!
I wonder if the mic has settings that should have been adjusted but weren't due to the strike. We're hearing her far more than we usually hear anyone in that seat. It makes me think that the reason we think Brett is so loud is that her mic is on while others are not.
Beth Di Bartolomeo I agree - nipsey Russell is the best, but Scoey has grown on me. He kinda reminds me of Joey Bishop and I really loved Joey. (By the way i just read that Scoey is 90!)
