This is not aired because MGM, co-owner of this show, is stingy with the rights. Gene Rayburn requested that his hosting of the 1985 travesty "Break the Bank" not be aired. That's not to say that this wasn't a disaster, though.
Too bad that can't change now that he has passed on. Other then the full episodes that were on here. I really haven't seen mcuh of this show at all. It was made a few years before I was born. (86)
I met Jon Bauman (aka Bowzer of Sha Na Na) at the New York State Fair one night, and as he autographed a photo for me, saying that's it's "Gonna make me happy," I replied, saying another thing that would make me happy would be if GSN added MGHSH to its line-up. All Jon said was, "We'll see."
I like Jon fine, but I never understood why he was chosen so often for the Super Match. Especially since he hardly ever had the 3O.

I think the old adage about how "every joke has a kernel of truth" applies here. :-)

Gene love it when Bowzer got knockout.

Jon Bauman belongs with Doug Davidson and Jim Caldwell in the game show host hall of shame - the worst trio ever!

@armymjm Care to make it a quartet by adding Patrcik Wayne?

Heh...this moment could well have been the high point of Gene's hitch with this show.

what a terrible answer, and what is worse is he had the best answer and changed it

Did Jon ever hold the 30?

@mtiller2006 I've seen him have a 30 once in a while.

Anyone have $20,000 or $30,000 Super Match wins on this show?

Yeah me too!!! But The Match Game-Hollywood
Squares Hour cannot be seen in re-runs on
cable nor GSN because of cross-ownership,and
besides,there's only one way you can see this
show again is that you tape trade with anyone
who has it.But hey,look at the brightside,
YouTube's got some clips of MG-HS like the one above and who knows,maybe YouTube could
upload an episode or two of The Match Game-
Hollywood Squares Hour.

I don't think we will. Gene requested it not to be aired on GSN before he passed away

That's as I read it. Apparently, Gene didn't like working with Jon. It was at Game Show Galaxy
mtiller2006 4 years ago
I think it is, as it was talked about at Game Show Galaxy. And by the way, I looked it over at Wikipedia as well.

I was actually hoping there would be one episode where Gene could end it without Jon.
