Match Game - Ticket Plugs

[stevethemeave45]

1:22 sort of looks like Wilem Dafoe a bit...

[yetanotherdavid]

Ha ha. Best one is at 2:01--Charles as Hedy Lamarr.

[cd637299]

These were great! It kept people watching during commercials.....The funniest one for me I recall was the top half of the face of Scoey Mitchlll (yes that is how his name is spelled) & the bottom half being Joyce Bulifant, with those teeth! I think possibly that Johnny O. just plain lost it!

[the06bug]

CBS needs to bring this show back, and base the new set on that of 1973 (TPIR did that when they changed the set for Drew, and it looks fab!)

[Partyrific]

is it me or does the second one with Robert Donner and Marcia Wallace look like michael mcdonald from mad tv in a wig.. LOLOLOL

[miketodd67]

I thought the exact same thing.

[DejectedPanda]

Yes it does totally.

[quizmaster85]

0:27 - God help us!

[yaggy9]

the ticket plugs always make me grin ear to ear. love 'em.

[brettsomers]

Robert Pine was an absolute doll!!  He was looking at me in that clip!

[heine71]

Are these clips all from the 2006 Match Game DVD set?

[tyrese3745]

You know that 2nd ticket plug? Wallace looks just like that actor Michael McDonald from "MAD TV".

[brettsomers]

OMG thats soo true!

[WhoseLineAnyway]

1:42 Kirstie Alley episode

[ejchiefsfan]

That address was used for this, TPIR, and, actually, I think all other CBS Goodson-Todman/MG game shows since they were all taped at Studio 33 (nka The Bob Barker Studio). I've definitely seen it advertised for Card Sharks (Eubanks) and Now You See It (1989).

[heine71]

Look at the first funny face ticket plug, would this be like Jeff Foxworthy (Are You Smarter Than a 5th. Grader) after a plastic surgery?

[denny906]

I just love this clip. Very funny. I didn't know they had morphing effects back then.

[JerryG918]

@denny906 The genius of Marc Breslow right there!

[denny906]

@JerryG918 has he done other TV shows or movies?

[frankd1965]

Those "Match Game" tickets are SO funny.

[burr1aj]

i want to go buy that DVD.

[botsicle5439]

o.O

[thirtymphs]

I like the one with Jamie Lee Curtis. Whose mustache was that? Robert Pine?

[yuhyup]

he has no facial hair

[coolwafferman]

Isn't some this from the Syndicated years? Was Match Game Still on CBS stations after 1979 or did it move to another station?

[yuhyup]

like u said, it went into syndication

[coolwafferman]

I meant was it in syndication but still came on a CBS channel or did they move it off of CBS to a whole new station.

[burr1aj]

syndication means they produce it, then various networks buy it. CBS may have carried it in your area.

[dsturbed10]

[D463]

These were all taken from the DVD set. There are a few more on there that I didn't include.

[matchgame69]

I have followed Johnny Olsen's instructions! I sent a self-addressed stamped envelope to the address in this video with a note that says, "Dear CBS, Please bring back the Match Game and send me tickets!" Consider doing the same to bring back the Match Game. I'll reply back here if I get a response. :)

[fribrann]

How about some more ticket plugs like for example, the one where they superimposed "Lou Grant's Robert Walden's face on Elaine Joyce's blonde-feathered hairstyle (it aired on the infamous "Cuckoo, Fran, and Ollie" episode). I could not stop laughing, it was funny, LOL!

[fribrann]

It sure is!

[smpage09]

is that kirstie alley as a contestant at 1:50?

[fribrann]

Does anybody have some more Match Game ticket plugs, especially from the 1979-80 syndicated season? Thanks!

[WileyCoyote69]

This is great!

And years before Conan O'Brian did that "If they mated" comedy bit!

[dijeinyje]

Delightfully unwholesome.
