Match Game 73 (Episode 41) (Don't Act Like A Bitch?)

[@KittyMatador]

I love how Gene blushes a little when he sees Richard's "bitch" and tries to move along quickly! Golly I love these people so much.

[@royveteto4134]

wow stu's first episode and he's picked for the head to head

[@philybarra2702]

Richard Dawson: Don't act like a bitch. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 Good answer. I can't believe they put that on television at that time.

[@kristabrewer6736]

oh yeah REAL good!

[@Echognomics101]

They'll say it all the time at the Westminster Dog Show, because bitch is like mare or doe, a female of an animal species. But it is a hilariously unexpected answer.

[@earlofopsis1307]

@3:45 Debra waves at one of the celebrities and says hello as if she knew the person. I think it was Richard Dawson.

[@pencils812]

Shame on Jack for saying he wished his wife wasn't there.

[@zq9m3xh8]

If Grady had said "In" Stu would have said "Out". And that's how it goes!

[@drawken]

Stepmother - Stepfather Inside - outside Awwww...... This guy can't win! Literally.

[@annika_panicka]

Lol! 00:48 You know it's going to be a good show when the first full sentence out of Gene's mouth is: _"I greet you celebrities, welcome you and ask you to give a very brief round of applause for Richard Dawson's new mustache."_

[@gerryu21220]

Wow, two new people nobody's ever heard of: Stu Gilliam and Stephanie Edwards. I've been around since the 60's, and never heard of either.

[@markrothenberg9867]

Stephanie Edwards co-hosted with Bob Eubanks of Tournament of Roses Parade on Channel 5 (KTLA) Los Angeles 1978 to 2005, again in 2009 until 2016.

[@rockaway2k]

Diane Newman Stephanie was also the longtime tv spokesperson for Lucky supermarkets.

[@joeambrose3260]

Honestly don't give a squat

[@frankswisher6342]

I've heard of both of them

[@kevansf]

Stu appeared on "Get Smart"

[@antster1983]

Time for antster1983's Guide to Week 9! First week for stand-up comedian Stu Gilliam (Johnny Olson would later pronounce the surname with a silent _i_ ). He'll be back for another go in a couple of week's time. The first thing he does is get picked for the head-to-head, and it truly was a baptism of fire! Brett and Jack sat together for the first of three weeks. Only week for future morning television and Tournament of Roses Parade host Stephanie Edwards. At the time of this, she was working as an actress and about to have a recurring role in the sitcom "The Girl With Something Extra" alongside Sally Field and John Davidson. Edwards, along with the person I am about to write about, is still with us. Third week of Betty White. As I write this, today is Betty White's 96th birthday, and she's clocked up nearly eight decades in this business we call show. Happy Birthday Betty!

[@DENo1MatchGameFan]

Stephanie Edwards appeared on the show again in the early 80's.

[@kevansf]

It's a quirk of the game play that the celebrities sometimes change right in the middle of a game, or even right in the middle of the super match. Grady could have stuck with a known quantity (Brett or Richard or even veteran player Betty) but he chose to pick a celeb who hadn't yet played a single round of the game, and so Grady knew nothing about what kind of answers Stu might give! Really an unexpected choice.

[@kristabrewer6736]

Jack Klugman looks like Mir. Roper

[@trekkiejunk]

No he doesn't. He looks a lot more like Oscar Madison.

[@neversaygoodbye4]

Grady is so handsome!

[@kellykonoske91]

Stehanie Edwards was the voice and face of Ralphs supermarkets for many years and she was on the first year of Good Morning America. Her father is a good friend and still alive in his 90s. She is in her 70s today

[@henrystrauss168]

She was horrible at thr end of her tv career. Heck, she was always horrible. Aargh.

[@henrystrauss168]

She was an all out bore!

[@ABCEasyas--]

Henri ShihTzu She May have been great on To Tell the Truth, but she doesn’t seem like a match for Match Game.

[@djm55]

I'm pretty sure it was Lucky's (not Ralph's). She used to co-host the Rose Parade with Bob Eubanks for many years.

[@eriakali265]

It's a shame that some of the celebrity legends are no longer with us, they will be missed bet there all playing the Match Game together again in the Heaven

[@jvolgelstein6278]

I miss them too

[@kentclark6420]

A match made in Heaven.

[@beckydutra6543]

What bad luck for Grady. 😣

[@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687]

I love Brett and Jack weeks of Match Game. ❤️

[@ts.elliot5870]

Their shtick gets old very quickly IMHO.

[@ABCEasyas--]

It’s before when everyone picked Richard for the head to head match. It’s rare that someone picks someone other than Richard, and rarer when they match. It was also before the audience went “how ________ was it?”

[@kristabrewer6736]

LOOOOL Other than the a few days go, Richard hadn't been picked in a LONG time (thank Heavens) Also, he's been wrong on here A LOT!

Grady seems like a nice guy. I hope he didn't turn out to be a serial killer.

[@kentclark6420]

Maybe in a movie?

[@jjryan1352]

I heard his name was "Grade E Ham". So it's bound to go bad pretty quick. 🙈

[@joeambrose3260]

Buncha haters

[@tomsaaristo6294]

Grady's gone casual!

[@ajmittendorf]

Was the phrase "Girl Interrupted" a common expression in 1973? That would be my guess for the "Girl ____" question, but I think I'm thinking in the wrong era. Y' think? ;)

[@henrystrauss168]

3 roses? Who the hell says 3 roses???

[@LynxSouth]

Stu remarked that when he gets frustrated, he thinks of booze. So, I'm guessing that under pressure, he conflated Four Roses whiskey with the 1971 song by America, _Three Roses_ .

[@40bpaula]

@@LynxSouth Good Lord, you're kidding right? That three roses was just plain crazy for an answer.

Betty got a great line in today's show. Gene: "Grady's looking for a chest." Betty: " Everybody's got to have a hobby."

[@tomitstube]

funny show with jack and brett together. don't remember stu gilliam, he did pretty good, just missed nailing the $5000 match on his first question. not a knock on richard but i actually liked it better when more people were called on.

[@generay9697]

I agree..

[@randilevson9547]

I think Grady liked Stu Gillam in that special way.

[@travis7310]

Was this episode banned by GSN? I don't recall ever seeing it.

Its possible, but I don't know.

3 strikes, 3 stooges, 3 wishes...I was thinking it'd be difficult with multiple well-known worthy choices. (Hadn't thought of 3 Musketeers before he said it, but that works too.) So, of course, we get an obscure answer instead...

[@royveteto4134]

i wonder if brett and jack had to agree to be civil towards 1 another when they both appeared on the same episode

[@mittens4kittens435]

Jack doesn't look that happy.

[@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687]

@@mittens4kittens435 he was happy. Brett and Jack still loved and supported each other in fact Jack went to Brett's one-woman show LONG after Match Game ended. They were still very good friends and loved each other. If you think Jack didn't look very happy well you just may not know him as a fan that well.

[@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687]

No, they weren't like that they still loved and cared for each other in fact Jack is the one to mention Brett's play when Jack fills in for Brett during the later years on his own terms and Jack was so proud of her. Long after Match Game ended Jack went to support Brett at her own one-woman show.

[@sharondaniels5912]

@@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687 is that why they divorced, because of all the love for each other?

[@Rasputin443556]

Jack has a perpetual "Please, I don't want to go home to her!" look

[@tonystone1016]

Can't blame him for that. Brett did grow into the part in later years, but in the early years it could be really painful to watch/listen to her. I know she quit smoking. I wonder if she sobered up too?

@@travis7310 Charles and Kay Ballard said fairy multiple times, but didn't get banned

[@LynxSouth]

In Standard English, the word "bitch" means a female dog, and that's how it was used here. It's no worse than ewe, sow, queen, doe, or cow. There's no crudeness involved.

[@LynxSouth]

@@travis7310 The owners of the other shows aren't buckling to GLAAD or similar pressure. There's no law or regulatory agency that has banned the programs for using words that someone decided to take offense at, it's the executives of the company that owns the video recordings of the shows and the executives of the television network in question who decide. It's their personal opinion and choice, usually determined by trying to avoid upsetting some pressure group.
