[@retrochick9993]

I'm with the person who whistled when Duff went up to play the Super Match! 😍😉

[@keepersink9905]

I will never get tired of eatching thiz game. I think Gene Rayburn was the best host ever.TY for makimg this available.

[@m.e.d.7997]

The show was like one big party.

[@kevansf]

Richard scores his 78th H/H match. This is now the third week in a row that only Richard has been chosen for the H/H match. (I can understand why the producers must have been thinking about changing the game, and I wonder if they were already considering the star wheel or something similar? It's really much less interesting when the same star answers every single head-to-head question...) Here's the updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: TIE: Orson Bean - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 80% (4 wins in 5 attempts). Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Betty - 50% (15 wins in 30 attempts). TIE: Fannie - 50% (7 wins in 14 attempts). Charles - 45.7% (16 wins in 35 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 35.8% (78 wins in 218 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). Brett - 32.1% (9 wins in 28 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 430, excluding the lost/missing episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325. (As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library. Sadly, looks like they are lost forever!")

[@beatlequeen06]

Yay, it’s Earl again!

[@storylass9071]

41 shows to go before the return of Charles Yea Earl!

[@maynardsmoreland]

Duff King is listed on IMDB as having appeared in a 1986 episode of "Magnum, P.I."

[@dennissmock1522]

Duff passed away in 1998 from a hang gliding accident in Hawaii. He was 52 i believe.

[@ShortyGirl63]

Thanks for the fun (and sad) trivia.

[@pencils812]

@@dennissmock1522 wow.

[@mehboobkm2018]

Duff is definitely the most handsome guy, including the panelists, to appear on Match Game until now and women women panelists wanted to kiss him, no wonder.

[@ts.elliot5870]

Duff on Magnum with Tom Selleck seems like a great show. I'm sure they did something very butch!

[@caseyyarnold2959]

Sarah keeps losing weight according to Gene, from 88lbs. - 84lbs. and now 80 lbs.

[@LynxSouth]

"Duff", also spelled Dub or Dubh in Scottish Gaelic (pronounced the same), is the name of a king of Scotland in the 900s. So, from King Dub to Duff King.

[@hellomynameishello2159]

gary thinks hes funny but hes not. god i need charles back😭

[@Uniquely-Unoriginal]

Wow they had a lot of really tall male contestants on this show; Gene was 6'1" tall and many of the men towered over him. Also, I'm very thankful to MGP as well for uploading these shows as I was one when the show started so I didn't see/remember the first few years though even with my bad memory, years later I could remember the "How x was s/he?" from the crowd and Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Riley and Gene (Wayburn - I kept going back and forth, couldn't remember) Rayburn. Either didn't know or forgot Richard Dawson was on it.

[@pattypark8548]

Several of the women were as tall and taller!

[@sddwtbnofather]

Gene Rayburn was 6'1" so Duff must be like 6'6". Tall and handsome!

[@edwardlozano8807]

Just thinking how giant he really would have looked standing next to 5' Sarah Kennedy!

[@Floymin]

Is this when people learned that Earl would be working the board full time?

[@tuddley]

Don't squat with your spurs on, and never drink downstream from the herd .

[@StooGP]

Richard's card in the opening: "Allen Ludden Lives?" Then Betty's card: "Alone." Hahahaha!

[@deedenehy5280]

I love it when the panelists can make Johnny Olsen chuckle

[@rubinnz]

Duff is such a hottie. I want me some DUFF.

[@bannedheretic2971]

As Brett would say, "Well, honey, get in line!"

[@garfield2439]

Thank goodness Gary thinks he is funny he needs someone to laugh at his jokes, now that's embarrassing Gary not Gene forgetting u don't play🤭🤭🤭🤭

[@TeamCat1128]

I’d like to see Duff stand next to Miss Cannady!

[@bannedheretic2971]

Duff was hunkalicious 🏋‍♀️

[@pencils812]

Too much hair.

[@mittens4kittens435]

He reminds me of Magnum, PI.

[@ts.elliot5870]

I'll bet Duff had some boots and spurs. Yahoo!

[@DreamDancer82]

I always wondered what Earl looked like! Makes me wonder if Orrie ever appeared on camera.

[@sdlively27]

Little slow this week but once again Richard won the week giving away 5,350 dollars in head to head and audience match matches with 11 matches for the regulars. Betty gave away 500 dollars and Charlie gave away 250 dollars in audience match matches for the semi regulars. Sarah won with 9 matches for the semi regulars.

[@caseyyarnold2959]

That Gene is a riot! He must keep his wife laughing all the time!

[@pencils812]

All his flirting and gratuitous touching & kissing of women might not have made her happy.

[@donaldleroy6502]

Especially ALL the way to the bank

[@robinstewart6422]

And telling Brett to shut up I bet his wife is shocked

[@ts.elliot5870]

They were on Tattletale together. Helen looked like a strong, independent, happy woman. Helen and Gene were a great match.

[@mosseisleyYT]

"Pick up ______" - But nobody answered "line".

[@glendathegoodwitch6987]

Thats what i thought first.

[@pencils812]

True.

[@dmnemaine]

It also wasn't one of the three top answers.

[@pencils812]

@@dmnemaine I've been watching MG 78. I haven't seen you comment in a while. Did you stop watching?

[@yowpyowp7374]

"I didn't hear the question"?!! Isn't that what the producers are paying him to do?

[@mehboobkm2018]

Actually, he didn't understand the question, so he said he didn't hear

[@davelinn32115]

Why do you think Earl isn't listed in the credits?

[@sdlively27]

Ok at the 1/4 mark of MG75 the top 5 money givers are 1. Richard 81,250 dollars, 2. Joyce Bulifant 16,000 dollars, 3. Gary Borghoff 15,100 dollars, 4. Betty White 10,350, 5. Brett 6,500 dollars and 6. Fannie Flagg 6,000 dollars. For a total so far this season of 139,700 dollars (8,550 dollars more than MG74 and 79,500 dollars more than MG73 at this point) between 16 panelist..

Gary burgoff...yawnnnnn

[@pencils812]

Lol

[@michellepost3098]

That player named Duff looks kinda like Mike Stivick from All in the Family. Dawson was the smartest celeb player on this, that's why he is often chosen by the contestants. When that woman's baby was born, I had started 9th grade. Wow.

[@mehboobkm2018]

He was chosen because contestants were dimwits. His winning percentage lesser than people like cnr, betty, joyce or Gary

[@ts.elliot5870]

Duff is way more butch!

Jesus is coming back soon and He is bringing judgement! ..signs are everywhere

[@LynxSouth]

Good. I hope he cracks down on wet blankets.

[@dmnemaine]

"Signs" have been everywhere since Christianity first became a thing. Anything can be a "sign" if you spin it the right way.

[@earlofopsis1307]

That's exactly what I thought when they announced Gary Burgoff was going to be a regular until Charles returned.

[@kristabrewer6736]

Jesus is coming back by 2030. I believe that with all my heart!

Jenny, did you forget to tell the "blank" part? You blew it, ask us another question.
