Gary did it! He scored his third and fourth successful H/H matches. He's now promoted to the big board which is looking a little cluttered... Gary also joins a short list of celebs who have scored 2 H/H matches in a single day: Charles scored 2 matches in episode 111. Jo Ann Pflug scored 2 matches in episode 148. Richard scored 2 matches in episode 193 and again in 218. Fannie scored 2 matches in episode 332. Here's the updated leader board showing the now *11* celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: TIE: Orson Bean - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 80% (4 wins in 5 attempts). Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Betty - 50% (15 wins in 30 attempts). TIE: Fannie - 50% (7 wins in 14 attempts). Charles - 45.7% (16 wins in 35 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 35.5% (72 wins in 203 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). Brett - 32.1% (9 wins in 28 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 412, excluding the lost/missing episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325. (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!")
In the mid-70s, Hollywood Boulevard had fallen into seediness...adult shops, porn theaters, coffee shops where hustlers hung out and plied their trade...it was fun, I miss it.
Joyce was the only one who actually got the Pillsbury Doughboy question. "Poking" was the obvious answer, as he was constantly being poked in the commercials. There's also the double entendre.
Euell Gibbons...Mrs Olsen, Mr Coffee, Mr Clean, The Doublemint twins, Let Hertz put you in the drivers seat...or as Rochester said once to Jack Benny..."the old rockin' chair is catching up on me"
Onnie Duvall I remember all those and go back even farther..... I remember Bucky Beaver for Ipana toothpaste, and do you remember Mr. Whipple and Josephine the Plummer?
Good Lord Dee has a gorgeous head of hair, simply awesome, not to mention a pretty face. Living in Central Ma. I woulda automatically picked New England
Always? Like in the first question when Jimmie said "gun powder," she said "spaghetti sauce," and Gary said "cheese"? Or the second question when Jimmie said "broke," she said "lit up," and Gary said "broke"? Maybe you mean the third question when the first five panelists all said the obvious answer bathroom/tub/shower?
That is a very understandable mix-up. Elaine Joyce looks very similar and has a silly demeanor to Joyce Bulifant. Plus they both occasionally appear on the show!! PLUS they both have "Joyce" as a part of their full name!! 😂
For the second head-to-head match: Big ____________ (spoiler alert) How could anyone NOT say "Big Ben" twenty seconds after the audience match "______________ England"?
Here's a good Match Game question. The bank robber held his gun out and told everybody to get there hands up. Instead they all just laughed at him. Turns out he wasn't robbing a bank. He was robbing a _.
two versions of the movie....the 1973 version-www.imdb.com/title/tt0070433/?ref_=nv_sr_1 and the 2006 version-www.imdb.com/title/tt0381053/?ref_=nv_sr_2 and the book that these movies were very loosely based on...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Ape
@@LynxSouth Joyce said it on national television in the 70s and it still aired. She said "well what do you call it?" in an obvious sexual reference. The 50s called, they want their prudishness back.... the 1850s.
@@jjryan1352 There's actually a huge difference between prudery and understanding that there's a time and place for everything. Repeating a lapse of sense and good taste does not make it worthwhile.
@@LynxSouth yes an entertainment game show famous for constant jokes about sex and homosexuality is certainly not a place for having any fun. You see everything. You understand so well. Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooshhhhh. Threadmucker.
@@lesburns7395 sorry I just read how pompous my comment sounded. I should have put a smiley face at the end. Wait do you hear that sound? It’s the toilet - flushing my books on English grammar down the toilet!! Don’t you just hate people who correct others? Anyway, forgive me please. 🥰😊
@@brachio1000 Nope. IMDB doesnt list any writing credits for Letterman or Leno writing for shows Walker has been on. He's only been on Late Night and the Tonight Show as himself. Many thanks if you can provide a reference to at least for what shows they wrote for him. It sounds interesting if true.
Everyone needs to quit bashing Brett. Yes, there were times she was annoying, but it just added to the show. She wasn’t annoying like Gary and Jimmy - they make me grind my teeth because they are trying to be funny. Brett is just being herself, and it’s funny.
Nothing wrong with Jimmy Walker. He was very popular at that time. You borderline racists need to quit bashing JJ. Gary was often annoying but tolerable this episode.
@@jjryan1352 whoa… hold your fire, sir. I am NOT a racist, or even a borderline racist. I just didn’t find Jimmy’s humor funny was all I meant. No need to go down a racist line here.
He may be the least popular panelist and a horrendous speller... but after watching these for a while now I've been thinking that if I had to pick a celebrity for the super match... I would pick Gary. He tends to give the most practical answers of the bunch, and he doesn't overthink his decisions. Nice to see him finally have a shot and having success. So far he has a 100% win rate in the super match when he hears Gene's clue correctly.
