Match Game 73 (Episode 88) (Apple __________?)

[@kevansf]

I love Gene's entrances. Today's was one of the best!

[@jessechristian8665]

I believe that question was written to get "penguin" as the definitive answer, but I'll bet even the question writers didn't know that there are no penguins at the North Pole.

[@kevansf]

Yes, not many other choices for a good answer. Maybe "elf" would work... Brett had the right idea with seal though.

[@billericaysteve]

Polar bear?

[@tbd-1]

Plenty of seals tho.

[@kevansf]

"Why don't you take it off, sweetheart?" OMG, I love you, Brett!

[@swolfe9668]

Love Cass Elliott

[@musicfanhawk4523]

Loretta Swit was a cool lady, loved her sweater.

[@antmazement704]

I love how much Jack Klugman doesn't hide how much he DOESN'T want to be there lol

[@bribabytt]

What was the audience applauding for at 5:33

[@billericaysteve]

The audience was applauding at 5.33 because they had just BLANKED.

[@Okiedokie595]

Brett was pleasantly quiet in this one.

[@catman7153]

This will come up in later episodes also. Penguins are native to the South pole, not the North pole.

[@Floymin]

Can you believe I never heard the right answer to this question until 1985? No matter what game show had "penguin" somewhere in the question or answer, "North Pole" would inevitably be matched with it!

[@geneburn5769]

@ thank you... they just had to match..

[@pumajlr]

@@geneburn5769 And how can you match if the answers don't make sense?. If the idea is just to match, then you could answer "yellow" whatever the question is, and always win (or loose, depending on the stars). No no, making sense is essential to the "matching" part. That's the whole idea behind the game. In this case for example, i answered "Polar bear", because they said North pole.

[@todddepue681]

@@pumajlr but therein lies the challenge! Many of the questions are open to interpretation. Then factor in an individual's knowledge, wit or imagination. Many contestants scored matches with seemingly bad or nonsensical answers. It's nothing to do with correctly answering trivia questions.

[@jessechristian8665]

Yea, I thought everyone knew that.

[@barbarajohnson3781]

Rip Richard Dawson very good actor on hogan heroes look nice and sweet

[@ItsAlwaysRusty]

There are no Penguins in the Arctic (North Pole) Aw well.

[@40bpaula]

Mama Cass!!!

[@m1sho2000]

I didn't know they had penguins on the north pole in the seventies 😂

[@pamelawood9289]

Bill Goldstein reminds me of John Fogerty. I even looked it up on Google to see if it could’ve been him.

[@wcwindom56]

I take it they didnt know you cant find penguins at the north pole

[@geneburn5769]

as someone said above it didn't have to be correct, it just had to match..

[@JT-lt5gr]

She thought the North Pole was in Alaska! There are no penguins there, either.

[@victoriasloan524]

Oh Richard, we miss you.

[@TheOfficialIceman]

Wow! Antoinette is gorgeous! She reminds me of actress Robin Lee from the movies "Hitch" and "Deliver Us From Eva".

[@770WT]

Rip Torn is a great answer Gene.

[@sharcrum]

@@770WT but that wasn't gene's answer.

[@ckincade9158]

Wondered why Brett kept flirting with the guy contestant and then saw her husband was on! I guess she was trying to make him jealous 😏

[@kevansf]

Many married celebrity panelists flirted with female contestants and made innuendos and jokes. Don't see why Brett couldn't too.

[@corrinewadino8771]

OK to get everything straightened out, about the penguins. The penguins migrated from the south pole to the North Pole!

[@wandertree]

Didn't Antionette play in an earlier episode????

[@brianmartin9167]

wonder if Gene knew Rip Torn was a person/actor?

[@kevansf]

He didn't seem to make that connection. There's also Rip Taylor, who would be a guest panelist (in CNR's seat) on upcoming weeks.

[@trekkiejunk]

I can't believe almost that entire panel doesn't know that penguins are exclusively at the SOUTH pole. There are ZERO at the north Pole. I would have said polar bear, and been pissed that everyone said penguin because they are stupid.

[@nowandaround312]

Jeez between the contestant saying "Eskimo" (Did she not know that an Eskimo is a human being or she's just okay with casual cannibalism?) and almost of the panel saying "penguin" which live on the opposite side of the planet from the North Pole, that question really highlighted some stupidity. Brett was the only one with a sensible answer.

[@gaamatsu4dewin]

for once. :) I'm not a big fan of Brett.

[@cybersal7]

That was a horrible comment Richard made about Cass falling on the front row to punish them.

[@billericaysteve]

Creeque Alley.

[@Muddybuddie]

I agree

[@wandertree]

People weren't as sensitive and constantly offended back then.

[@jaengen]

@@wandertree Oh please, it was rude no matter what decade you are living in. Nobody wants to be made fun of on National TV.

[@neversaygoodbye4]

I wonder that woman didn’t know what an Eskimo was 😬

[@Floymin]

Antoinette has a creole name, and she even looks creole. Wonder if her family is from Louisiana.

[@baltimorez-wad7281]

Floymin --- never knew Antoinette was a Creole name. That was my aunt's name and we're 100% Polish

[@baltimorez-wad7281]

Floymin --- never knew Antoinette was a Creole name. That was my aunt's name and we're 100% polish, nothing even remotely close to Creole in our family

[@Floymin]

+Baltimore Z-Wad Technically, you are still Creole since the sociological definition is "a combination of several cultures", as Poland housed refugees from France during World War 2.

[@WienerVL]

Penguin at North? What can i say?

[@geneburn5769]

as someone said above it didn't have to be correct, it just had to match..

[@WienerVL]

@@geneburn5769 I will not blame the game my critic goes to what Cass said!

[@robertbecker2225]

Sure we’re stupid back then! Half of the celebrities said that penguins were in the north pole. There are no penguins in the North Pole they’re all in the south pole for crying out loud

[@pattip2788]

How horrible of Dawson to make fun of Cass’ weight 🙁.

[@swolfe9668]

Cass laughed, people in the 70's weren't offended by things people said

[@billericaysteve]

She had no problems with the words to Creeque Alley.

[@sharcrum]

How very unkind of Richard to say what he said about Mama Cass falling on everybody in the front row even for those times back then where being politically correct or whatever was not a deal that was just personally mean irregardless of the times

[@kentetalman9008]

Cass received lots of insulting remarks about her weight. She was expected to just laugh it off. Cruel times.

[@lateshachurney5965]

He would never have fit in in today’s world

[@MooncricketsInc]

​@lateshachurney5965 Yes, he would have. There's still normal and sane people who can handle those jokes and humor.

[@قتيبةابراهيم-ز5ك]

[@kristabrewer6736]

How RUDE was Richard to make fun of Cass's weight, WOOOOW!!!!! (and then to have everyone APPLAUD) His vulgar answer's isn't enough; now he's making FUN of people? I am so SICK of saint Richard getting away with ANYTHING on this show simply because he's Richard Dawson

[@Echognomics101]

You all really would have hated Don Rickles and Rodney Dangerfield and the classic Celebrity Roasts. If it was like modern times Cass' boyfriend or husband might have walked up on stage and slapped Richard like Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars.

[@MooncricketsInc]

Calm down crazy miserable bitter woman. Take your meds and feed your cats.

[@wandertree]

Oh good grief. People weren't as sensitive and constantly offended back then.

[@pencils812]

Loretta was wearing a wig.

[@stevecb100]

Eskimo? really?

[@Echognomics101]

It's a great Thanksgiving tradition in the US, eating the Natives. 🤭 Although I believe eskimos primarily reside in Alaska and Canada, which isn't the North Pole either.

[@bradstephan7886]

Leave it to Mr. Snarky to fat-shame Mama Cass. What a jerk.

[@pengsmom]

Brad Stephan that surprised me he’s usually more classy than that.

[@40bpaula]

I love Richard Dawson, but yes; I wish he wouldn't have said that about Mama Cass. It was unnecessary.

[@annkatherine6327]

Don't know her, however she seems like a person who would laugh at such jokes instead of being offended. At least I wouldn't in this situation, if I was her. It's not like he implied she was ugly or repulsive, which would be a cause for anger of course. To me it's similar to how the cast of "Whose Line is it Anyway?" made jokes about Drew Carey (i.e. his weight) and about Colin Mochrie's baldness. No resentment, they just gave as good as they got.

[@richardwhite5633]

Mother Brett always has something stupid to say at the beginning of the show and still no me tells her to shut up

[@earlofopsis1307]

When Gene tells the new contestant they get to pick because some find a question harder than others, has a contestant ever replied, "I'll take the easier one."

[@phaedrabacker2004]

I have a crush on Gene. ❤

[@staciebonner4919]

I know Richard Dawson's comment was stupid but momma Cass laughed at it, people were not do sensitive, she probably heard worse comments. People just get so nervous they day stupid things up there, I've heard but the comment about eating Eskimos was more stupid to me than eating/stuffing penguins. They are human beings.
