Match Game 74 featuring Nancy Jones pt 1 of 2

My mom the game show queen. You may know her from such game shows as Let's Make A Deal, The Price Is Right, Wheel Of Fortune and High Rollers. I believe this was her first game show. Had she named me Bertha, she may have had a better result!

Sorry that option 'A' didn't work out for you Mom... but thanks for not naming me Bertha! ;)

wait a minute, this nancy jones wouldn't happen to be the woman who was the producer of "wheel" would it?

@Wheeloffortunefan999

No, this Nancy Jones was not a producer of "wheel", although she was a contestant on "wheel" in the late 80's.

@Wheeloffortunefan999

According to this Nancy Jones, having the same name as the producer almost kept her off of Wheel of Fortune in the 80's. I never knew that tidbit. Sadly her luck on Wheel wasn't much better than her luck on Match Game. I believe the consolation prize was a year supply of Little Debbie snacks... yuck! :P

@catlady772 lol, that's funny.

@tvtimetravel Wikipedia says all 1973-1982 episodes were at Studio 33.

Fannie usually sits on the other side of Richard Dawson - wonder why the switch?

i think i saw valerie on 'jokers wild' .... maybe....

[tvtimetravel]

Valerie, Nacy's opponent, was the contestant whose "boobs" answer made the panel walk out on the previous episode, or the one before. This was also the only week where Match Game was not taped at Studio 33 (Bob Barker Studio). Any idea why?
