"Match Game"-Brett (R.I.P.) and Charles'(R.I.P.) First show

This is the intro of Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly's first appearance on "Match Game. I apologize for the quality, but it got 5 stars. Thank you, MistressElvira96! NOTE:This is also Betty White's first appearance (as for the 70's version. She did appear in the unaired pilot, however.) Note: NO copyright infringement is intended. This is just for fun.

Which is why I put R.I.P. in the title.

Brett used to be on the Bottome Tear?! I was not aware of that! I love to watch Match Game, but now i never really see it on GSN! Brett and Charles were always my favs, along with Fannie and Richard ^.^

[travis7310]

Yes, it is weird a little weird not seeing Brett next to Charles. It takes a lot away from the show for some reason. They're not fighting when they're not next to each other.

i loved match game when i was young and now my son has discovered it via the game show network. the 70's were simply sublime.

[travis7310]

Thanks for your comment! I too, discovered from GSN. This clip if from the "Best of Match Game" DVD collection.

how come betty white still looks the same 36 years later?

2008 - we'll have Regis doing a remake of this show. Today's celebs aren't nearly as funny as they were back then.

I always thought that Richard had mind reading powers and x-ray vision that he uses to match people and see the board.

@KoraggRules Charles died in May 2007, and Brett the following September.

I can't believe this is 37 years old!!!

[weatherboi]

I still watch these reruns on GSN everyday. They still make me laugh. Wonder if that is Brett's real hair? This was before she got her permant spot on the top row with Charles. Richard Dawson did a lot of appearances on this game show too.

@KoraggRules I think you meant "they're" both dead.

[ManekiNeko1972]

Bert Convy (R.I.P)

Jaye P. Morgan (78 years old)

Charles Nelson Reilly (R.I.P.)

Brett Somers (R.I.P.)

Richard Dawson (77 years old)

and Betty White (88 years old)

I love the old school of game show hosts, but sooner or later the torch will need to be passed. Time to let some new hosts get good, I think.

[KoraggRules]

when did they die? i thought one of them was still alive
