Match Game 98: Bad answer

[CaptainOvide]

2:25 I'm Not Yo Mama!!

[djdavemick]

DA BUTTA BABY!

[djdavemick]

1998: Butta-very common urban slang

2011: Passe term.

[nintendodailyvideos]

I like how Michael channeled Gene at 1:48

[DDRUTOU]

Wow, this one really was awful. I've never seen it. Why are there only 5 Celebs? Also, Match Game wouldn't work today. I DON'T WANT TO SEE SNOOKI AS A PANELIST!!!!! To many reality show stars would be on it

[bluebear1985]

@DDRUTOU There was a pilot taped in 2008 intended for the TBS late night schedule, but it didn't sell. They decided to go with Lopez Tonight instead.

[ghrpdx]

@DDRUTOU Match Game wouldn't work today because to many have become so politically correct that they can't speak their minds. African American? lol.

[kari00ws6]

I thought nose.

[73gossipboy]

Bitch was the perfect answer!!

[DENo1MatchGameFan]

Gene, Brett, Charles, Johnny Olson, and Mark Goodson are rolling in their graves over this shit!

[plugee]

What were the censored words?

[BCF919]

@plugee bitch

[dokboy77]

that is a good answer

[Dodgerfn5]

I spotted how Michael Berger used his Gene Rayburn reference when a contestant gave such a rotten answer that he would say to the other one, "you still have a chance."

[WhoBoy93]

is the full episode avalible?

[Hondo20132]

This version isn't that bad, if you compare other remakes...

[66hourenergy]

Judy, SHUT UP!!!

[DENo1MatchGameFan]

It's kind of odd that the censors didn't allow Vicki to say 'bitch' in 1998 when Richard Dawson had that answer for another question in 1973, and shows like "Dallas" and "Dynasty" had been using it regularly since the mid 80's.

[shoredude2]

Especially since this version was relegated to 3 in the morning in most of the country.

[AlbieGray]

hilarious!

[hugggyion]

Talk about the dumbing down of society--compare this to twenty years prior.

[angeloflove]

SHE SAID BITCH, you can see she mouthed it!

but i ADORE her bitchness

[HottBoi90210]

i read her lips and she says Bitch.. i used to watch this show.

[Paulywint]

This version of Match Game didn't even last a year.

[milkbon3]

It actually lasted until 2001 I think

[cartoongameshowfan76]

They may have censored out Vicki's answer but you can clearly tell what she says when revealing her answer.

Nell said the same thing! Gimme a break!

[johnissoevil]

Gotta feel sorry for Michael Burger here. Good host getting stuck on a bad Match Game revival.

[Hondo20132]

Well, they kept the old think music at one point.

[travis7310]

And, Nell, too. What did she say?

[gamshwfan]

Judging by the visible writing she probably said "bitch".

[gamshwfan]

The F Word.

[WSBT960]

oh yes the censored answers that often appeared on this version...heh

[gamshwfan]

I know what they said; I can read lips.

[travis7310]

OK, then what did Vicki say?

[gamshwfan]

Either the B word or F word.

[egyptiansushi]

"I'm a fuck too"? That doesn't make sense.

it's bitch.

[gamshwfan]

The F word is often synonomous with whore.

[8ballsix27]

gay

[Hondo20132]

Nice to see that the classic think music is used.

[UNCJerry77]

Vicki Lawrence to audience member,"I am not your mama!" lol

[bluebear1985]

Let us pray that the next version not be anywhere as bad as this.

[Hondo20132]

If there IS a next version!

[bluebear1985]

Well, there is a new version currently being developed to air on TBS in late night. From what I've heard, they have already taped a pilot for it.

[PriceRight89]

Actually, TBS seems to have abandoned it all together. It was picked up in favor of more their crap such as 10 Items or Less. Knowing TBS, I kind of saw it coming.

[bluebear1985]

They abandoned it? Well, I guess that shouldn't come as any big surprise. That's too bad. I was hoping that the pilot would be picked up for a series. Oh well.

[300palms]

This program was a hideous disgrace! Absolute garbage! Oh, but I'm sure none of the episodes have been destroyed. They should be disposed of labeled as hazardous waste!

[gooffbball]

@300palms this version of match game was awful

[mgsnv2]

Mike did an okay job. Judy needed to shut the hell up!

[bartolemeo]

Suckage....not worthy of Vicki Lawrence.

[gameshowluvr86]

Amen!

[DENo1MatchGameFan]

I think I read somewhere that Vicki thought that being on this version of the show was one of her biggest mistakes in her career - probably Nell Carter felt likewise, as both her and Vicki were on "MG '90", and Vicki was on the CBS version in the 70's as well.

[wontonnoodle23]

And that guy thought he gave the best answer too.

[TonyDuMont]

I understand what he meant by "buttah." He must have seen Mike Myers as Linda Richman in Saturday Night Live's Coffee Talk sketches.

[Modor20]

Yes, way to take that from the celebrity up there who said EXACTLY THAT. Gosh, you're just as big of an idiot here as you are on Tim's board.

[TonyDuMont]

I noted that before it was mentioned on the show, by the way. And I'll thank you to refrain from calling me an idiot ever again.

[WSBT960]

The 98 version was famous for CENSORED answers

[gameshowluvr86]

I want someone to set Judy Tenuta on fire!

[jhqw7u676yfw143t]

i wonder what nell wrote.

[scottof83]

I think her and Vicki wrote "bitch" as this was around the time the South Park episode was a big thing and new at the time, and she has been called that alot in that ep.

[NEPatriot]

One word can describe this--TRAINWRECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[Noveltooner]

Ah, more FreeMantle trash mined from two Goodson-Todman treasures (The Match Game and Match Game xx). Even more insulting was that this version still had a "Mark Goodson Television Production" tag at the end. Goodson must have been doing enough high-speed RPMs in his grave to cause a Southern Califorina earthquake!

[DENo1MatchGameFan]

@NEPatriot I got a few four letter words that would qualify!

[Jnelson09Returns]

Everyone was right. This version WAS godawful.

[gameshowluvr86]

Mike Burger should be exiled in Siberia.

[dchasse12]

Agreed. Burger was terrible, unfunny, uncomfortable and robotic, the celebrities were annoying, and there was no control. And I've picked that up just by watching 3 minutes worth!

[gameshowluvr86]

Not all of the celebs, Vicki was awesome!

[megamanj2007]

Even though I greatly hated this verison of MG, I do remember this moment and Howard was such a cornball. Now I can do my candidate players for each version of MG for worst contestant on each version. There was one on the '70s, one on the 1990-91 Ross Shafer version named Travis and Howard seen here.
