Match Game SYN - Part 1.

[cmguy64]

Man Kirstie really looks good on this show.

[RadioPaul1]

Many Scientology destroyed her over the years.

[g0forthethroat]

Where's Richard?!

[bluebear1985]

@g0forthethroat He left the show in 1978.

[morgan8757]

I never liked dick martin

[TVCriticAmy]

Jamie Lee Curtis looks no different! And yay, KIRSTIE! <3 x

[gottalovelife79]

wow!

[DaveWollenberg]

Has Kirstie WISELY quit smokin'. I sure wouildn't wanna die that way, and disappoint my relatives and loved ones who WANTED me to quit.

[toddy2519]

So a wannabe actor had to be one of the contestants...that was a requirement??

[angellife21]

Obviously, this was an acting gig for Kirstie. Vanna White was on "Price is Right" and also Kathy Najimy was on "Wheel of Fortune".

[WrestlingHeretic]

@angellife21

Kirsty was also a civilian player on Password Plus. Lucille Ball was her celebrity partner.

[cbellfan]

Love this game!

[TALAfan11]

I loved this show. Kirstie was very calm.

[zzzzz87]

anyone else think of adam's apple?

[catholicpriest1]

Betty White is everywhere! I actually met her in 2004. Nice lady.

[catholicpriest1]

This reminds me of Vanna White being a contestant on "The Price is Right".

[catholicpriest1]

Just saw her on Leno....she just celebrated her 60th birthday.

[sonicstefan1991]

What year was this from?

[WaltGekko]

@sonicstefan1991 That was from the fall of 1979, early in the first season of the five-night-a-week syndicated run of Match Game after being on CBS from 1973-'79.

[sonicstefan1991]

@WaltGekko Thank you for telling me. I really appreciate that! =D

[KJdaBlackBandit]

Former Baltimore Ravens head coach Brian Billick was on Match Game PM and got housed badly...anyone have that clip?

[kristell9]

Kirstie is in a bunch of old game shows. She looks the same!

[bokprop420]

@kristell9 fat and disgusting?

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@kristell9 I saw that she was on Password with Lucy, but what other game shows did she appear?

[rats9001]

interior designer turned actress

[gabrielcrimson]

why was kirstie being so closed. kinda douchey

[AnonyFerret]

Thank goodness someone else picked mortuary / morgue besides me, playing along at home. :/

[boohauntedhouse65]

whos brett i thought it was phyllis diller

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@boohauntedhouse65 That's Brett Somers. She was a mainstay on Match Game, and she was an actress and singer, and she did a lot of shows in the 70's. She was married at one time to Jack Klugman who played Oscar Madison on the Odd Couple. Match Game was a great show with great celebrities!

[Ronf465]

Jamie Lee was very balls deepish back then!

[MrDukemeister]

As a teen in the late 80s and early 90s, I had a massive crush on Kirstie Alley on Cheers. Now that I've seen this clip, my crush his resparkled. Holy moly was she hot in her 20s!

[balderdashman]

Interestingly, there are two connections to classic 'Star Trek' films here... Robert Pine's son would go on to play young Kirk in Star Trek 2009 while Kirstie played Saavik in Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan.

[unclevanya]

Weird -- Dick Martin was also Kirstie's partner on Password Plus.

[rtoedman]

Bizarre, I noticed that too.

[SuperPAC]

Indeed.

[CraigFoye80]

What about that syndicated episode of "Match Game", where both Brett and Charles gave David Doyle the "Pathetic Answer Award"??

[Grapes428]

There were many celebrities on game shows before becoming big.

The Dating Game: Carl Weathers, Gregory Hines, John Ritter, Mark Harmon, Don Johnson, Bob Saget

I'm Telling: Sean Astin, Giovanni Robisi

The Gong Show: Paul Ruebens

[MisterSitcom]

Kistie looks soooooo un-enthuzed to be on TV, it's not even funny ;)

[tucsonia]

This must've been when "Halloween" came out 'cause nobody had heard of JLC before then. I matched Betty White also, woo hoo! And yes, they used to shoot a weeks worth of episodes in one day. In between shows they had a buffet with an open bar, so by the time the shows that were destined to be first aired on a Thursday or a Friday Brett was usually pretty snockered. I too at the time was too young to catch onto this stuff, just as I didn't pick up that Charles was gay and wore a toupee.

[jas22]

i said "mortuary"! i love betty white-- she's americas grande dame of comedy, in a way. as a kid, i could never figure out Brett. i think coloh's correct-- shes snickered. charles was always fun on this show.

[watthree]

It is wild that Kirstie is also a contestant on a Password Plus episode and Dick Martin is one of the celebrities on that as well. I wonder if he recognized playing with her before.

[bigkellyr]

I love the way you ask that question. I know I would remember having played with Kirstie Alley before! LOL!

[bulafritz]

Kristie Allee....is she a bull dyke? She has sort of beady eyes. I wonder if she and that Texas lady ate sushi after the show...

[PopeyeCove]

Star Trek references galore: Of course, Kirstie Alley of STII and Chris Pine's dad Robert Pine as a panelist.

[calalilygirl]

Kirstie is loaded with confidence--no fear of being in front of a camera..guess that's why she made it so big.

[coloh08]

haha brett's drunk

[essentialeugene]

I like that guitar effect in the song.

[rwboa22]

The magic of an electric guitar, electric base, and a wha-wha pedal.

[4evernate28]

That is spooky to see her as a contestant on this show...

[SuperPAC]

Soundboy6, use that language somewhere else, please.

[AmericanGreek]

I LOVE BETTY WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!

[MshrF]

He works in a morgue...

[bulafritz]

Wow Brett got a makeover

[nebraskame]

CNR is hilarious in this one! :-D

[ghrpdx]

Was Brett always drunk? lol ... her speech always seemed a little slurred and the comprehension of the questions was a little slow to come to her.

[MsTexas73]

I remember Kirstie being on MG...yes this was before she was famous...and Jamie Lee Curtis was by this time MORE than just a star's daughter.

[calalilygirl]

Jamie looked pretty and feminine here.

[RosaCarmesi]

She's gorgeous

[TommyBNSF]

A Fertilizer plant. Reilly is my favorite on the show. May he RIP.

[kxx46]

Kirstie Alley is in a "Password" clip and Dick Martin is the celebrity there too !

[dim432]

them 2 got rotton answer

[7beers]

Boy that audience is rude.

[malacious718]

haha for kirstie's blank question i thought of 'animal shelter'

[shinigami518]

an episode of Match Game with Jamie Lee Curtis AND Kirstie Alley on the same episode?!

Awsome!

And I love how blitzed Brett is. She is so silly.

[JessyGirl002]

Kirstie lookes like that girl from it takes 2....is it her :S OMG they had a future actress on the show and they didnt even KNOW IT!

[musicguy899]

My Favorite Actoresses Are On Here KRISTIE ALLEY

JAMIE LEE CURTIS

[MrAnus]

I immediatley thought: sperm bank

[7beers]

Best answer!

[cgodwin1]

I matched Kirstie! Woot.

[mcclatchy]

man is Brett blitzed!!! I am rediscovering this great show,,we were all so naive when it was on...It rocked!!!

[cubicleboy]

its kirstie u moron

[secretwaters]

i said 'dump'

[dsturbed10]

geez louise, can't believe nobody said adam's APPLE!!

[VioletAmarie]

My first thought was 'mortuary' as well. Go Betty!

[1cpw]

She was also a contestant on Password Plus with Betty's husband Allen.

[bluebear1985]

Another irony was that Dick Martin was a celebrity player for both shows Kirstie was on. For those who are curious, the other celebrity playing on Password Plus was Lucille Ball.

[CraigFoye80]

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Brett Somers' award: "The Pathetic Attempt Award to Try and Find an Answer", given by Charles Nelson Reilly (who is always a heavy smoker, smoking cigars, pipes, etc.)!

[onevestalfan]

I love when Charles says he has an adorable answer.

[musicmaker85]

Was this before anyone knew who Kirstie was?

[dkrikori]

interier designer?

[beckjl02]

kirstie didn't seem all too friendly, either!

[wheels85]

The host seemed a little tipsy as did a few members of the celebrity panel.

[WileyCoyote69]

"The host seemed a little tipsy as did a few members of the celebrity panel."

That's why this show ruled!

[shinigami518]

Darn right!

[wpghi5]

My answers would be a cattle ranch and bones.

[wpghi5]

U don't see very often to have a star's daughter and a future star all in one show. Especially when u have both Jamie Lee Curtis and Kirstie Alley.

[elscottro]

that is great, haven't seen this in a while, Jamie Lee was a pretty lady also : )
