what most people don't remember is that gene rayburn hosted the first match game on nbc in 1961. it was a hell of a lot different then. when cbs revived it in 1973 it became the golden gem of game shows that we know and love now. even after all these years.
@torchkit Actually this is while Christopher was on "Taxi", as this is from the 1981-82 daytime syndicated season of "Match Game", and "Taxi" was on ABC during that time.
@ericandy88 LOL, that's funny. I once saw Gene standing in front of a theater in NYC wearing that exact jacket, and I remember thinking, Gee, he'd never wear something like that on the show. And I never thought he did, until just seeing this clip.
I want this show back!! With new celebrities I would love to see. Judy Gold, Ellen DeGeneres, Bonnie Hunt, Steven Martin, Mike Myers, Snooki, NVM on Snooki I just want a show like this back on the air!
You know I have Contestants like Janet Finn on Match Game 74 & Nervous Nancey on Match Game PM . But this girl was so nervous that she had to sit down . Boyyyy !!!
Interestingly, I watched this because I kind of had Frank Lloyd Wright on the brain, since I got back from a Christmas trip to Phoenix yesterday (and for those who don't get what I'm saying, Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home, Taliesen West, is in Scottsdale).
@@canyoubelievethis220 This was not the 70's lol, this was the early 80's by this time (1981-82 syndicated season). Was a lot closer to 85 than further.
