Match Game 74 (Episode 298) (Tiger ________)

[@chrismayer3919]

Nipsey Russell is completely HILARIOUS!!!

[@juliusigmond]

I think he is booooring and not funny at all

[@garfield2439]

Loved Nipsey 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@papifacca]

Love me some nipsey ❤

[@RobertBowman-j7c]

Especially his poems! LOL!

[@thomasmagnum3588]

Dick Harper , the police office who won almost $6,000, was very handsome and quite a sharp dresser, not easy for such a tall man. His 1974 LAPD annual salary was probably around $15,000 so he did quite well!

[@crissrudd4554]

Was waiting for this one! What are the odds it would be Tiger____?!! XD Definitely one of the funniest MG moments!!!

[@pencils812]

So cute.

[@diverbob33]

Nipsey is a HOOT!

[@BigSeance]

This is one of the good ones! So funny! 😂

[@deedenehy5280]

I found it very touching that following the Richard’s dream question, Richard and Brett kissed

[@francis1971]

Of course if the Big Match were done today the answer would have been "Woods".

[@kevansf]

Interesting that Jo Anne said Tiger's Milk, as a few months back, Tiger's Milk Protein Bars was a sponsor of Match Game for a few weeks - their product was shown on those intra-program spots where Johnny would announce usually three companies that provided products (to give to losing contestants) and financial consideration. I remember being amazed that the Tiger's Milk bars had basically the same exact packaging/wrapper back then as they do now. But the audience that day didn't say it...

[@edwardlozano8807]

Had heard "Hold That Tiger", but never knew it was called "Tiger Rag"...

[@northerngirl1637]

I remember Gene mostly as a creepy perv. His needlepointing, taking ballet and healthy relationship with his wife are redeeming qualities that allowed me to like him all those years.

[@krkf8]

That was so funny when they brought out Tiger (Blank)

[@StLawrencePlace]

Charles: I was just thinking what a nightmare that must have been.

[@loissimmons109]

I thought that Jo Anne Worley was going to say, "Is that a turkey joke?"

[@LynxSouth]

I remember some cartoon (or sitcom?) character in the late 60s singing the Tiger Rag. It was an earworm for me as a child. Does anyone remember who it was?

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

People really do call Richard, Charles. I know I do. It's happened a lot on the show.

[@ShortyGirl63]

I love Nipsey❣️

[@johnstewart6366]

taager tail ?? TOOO cute. I would go down to the courthouse and MARRY that girl - right then and there !!! And, the Big Match - TIGER ________ !!!!! Wow. Talk about an amazing and funny coincidence !

[@thomaswashburn3513]

I always wonder if people over hear things in the back on game shows… She said tiger tail for the Tarzan question, which made no (or little) sense… However, later tiger (blank) was a question… I’m wondering if she heard people in the back saying Tiger… Tail… that could be another response, and applied it to the wrong question… If you ever watched the famous Family Feud episode with the guy who gave “Turkey” as the answer to the first three questions at the end… you know when he was leaving the sound proof room he over heard someone say something like “he should have said “Turkey” (for the third question)… Something people stuff… And he said it for all three answers until it made sense.

[@donaldleroy6502]

Can't believe nobody answered Tarzan wore a 🐍 for a 👔

[@lynskyrd78]

Lol when I first saw your anwser I thought thats was a Duck. But its a Snake 🐍

Gene still needs a haircut.

ROFL!! Isn't that a pink shirt you have on Gene as well? ;0) Oh that face on CNR when she meant Richard.. ;0)

[@sandrapelletier2208]

Where do they get those outlandish necklaces?

[@tonystone1016]

Gaudy was in fashion during the 70s.

[@kevansf]

Watch__________ (spoiler alert) That was actually a fairly easy head-to-head match in retrospect, because there don't seem to be a lot of good answers. I think Richard gave the best possible response. Unfortunately, the contestant's answer wasn't too good. A watch pocket? Maybe people still thought of those back in the 1970s, but I don't recall ever having heard of it. My mind went in a totally different direction: I thought of "Watch out!" or "Watch this!" so I wouldn't have won with Richard here either. I guess there's also watchman (as in night watchman) but it doesn't seem too likely either.

[@kylebutler7142]

What about 'watch tower' ? in a previous life Dicky Dawson was an inmate at Stalag 13........how quickly we forget

[@lovett.da.j]

Watch your step?!?

[@kevansf]

@@lovett.da.j Now that I hear it, "watch your step" does sound pretty good!

[@richardwind2859]

Tiger Tail is the one

[@tonystone1016]

Tiger tail? How about Tiger shark?

Gay guys must be selecting Gene’s clothes for him.

[@ts.elliot5870]

He'd look better than that.

[@RobertBowman-j7c]

It was the 70’s.

[@beckydutra6543]

I'm pretty sure the female contestant was on before, but she didn't win the game.

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

Could you hear Mayor Rudy Giuliani say, "Tiger Lilly"? Tiger Gigwy

[@kristabrewer6736]

Does Charles have any other clothes? That pink housecoat seems to be all he ever wears

[@ts.elliot5870]

It's a cable knit sweater honey.

[@SpidersHandle]

She said Tiger tail because there used to be a gas company called Esso (Exxon) that had a Tiger as a mascot and they had these stuffed tiger tails that you would place on the gas cap with the tail hanging out - just for fun...
