Match Game 75 (Episode 519) (Allen Ludden/Betty White Week)

Allen Ludden, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Dolly Martin, Richard Dawson, and Betty White

[@rebeccajoyner3858]

“You heard them clapping..and naturally they’re wrong” So dramatic Richard Dawson and I love it!

[@hanksballoons]

Richard will DO ANYTHING for a Kiss!!!

[@thomaswashburn3513]

It’s referred to as wit… wit is a class of humor that is similar to sarcasm, but without the demeaning nature.

I loved this show as a kid. Now I'm binge watching again and I still love it!! Also, I just read up on Allen and Betty. That really made me very sad....

[@CharlesWhite-wh4cc]

@@loulue872 they were truly in love!!! Then the 'c' hit Alan. Stomach!!!! Betty never remarried or had children.she was so pretty and quick witted, I can't think of any female comedians that are as classy as Betty White was. Meaning you can be funny without being vulgar!!!?? And as aside note. The questions asked on the match game invoked an answer that you couldn't say on television, meaning it wasn't fair that they asked a question that you couldn't say what you really thought!!??🇺🇸🙏😷💯😭

[@neitajames6029]

👍👏👏👏 Finally this popped up.i guess because I've been watching Betty white interviers. My twin been bragging she get to watch these Match Game Episodes. After all I share with her. Well now I too have subscribed. So Blank you Vee. To be fair, we Love Betty white. I still watch the Golden Girls. Every now and then, They Show The Mary Tyler Moore show. For some reason watching Betty White story from when she was a Baby. She had the cutest dimples. On Hot in Cleveland, Betty was a hoot. She gave us so much enjoyment. Losing Betty has left a void in my life. RIP BETTY WHITE.🕊🕯❤🦋🌠✨🌻🌷🌹💐🤗🥰💕. LOVE,RESPECT AND POSITIVITY ALWAYS. Neita James . Thank you for this episode of Match Game.👍💯❤❤. Both Allen and Betty was on here. Loved it. It's Dec 17,2022. Happy Holidays.🎄💕✌🖖🙂👋.

[@djdon60]

I've wanted, for years, to see ANY, of the Maxine Lambeth shows; I had a mad crush!(too, I've remembered her name, all these years, in case ANYTHING surfaced.) Thank-you, for finding and, posting.

[@CharlesWhite-wh4cc]

Don you sound like a stalker!!!!!

[@kickballjedi]

Seeing her for the first time in 2022, I can see she looks like a very fun, bouncy girl.

[@djdon60]

Charles, I thought she had an engaging personality and, also, she was very intelligent and, pretty. I, also, am the possessor of a superb long-term memory (hence, I remembered her name, for forty-seven years.) That's all. My short-term memory, however, is terrible.

[@SuperC888]

I bet Maxine is sorry she ever said she took belly dancing lessons because they’re not gonna let it drop until she does it

[@nunosoares2329]

RIP most members of the panel and host who are no longer with us especially Allen Ludden :-( . Condolences to all families. By the way. The contestant who won could have shown a bit more restraint. Having said that, she's cute.

[@sesamefan]

Is Maxine Lambeth still alive? Can't find her on the net.

I like Richard's sport coat, I had one just like it. I wore a bow tie with it.

[@pencils812]

He had some nice clothes.

[@dmnemaine]

I guess I didn't understand the "walking off the job at 5" question. I had two answers: "surgeon" and "firefighter". I was thinking about people who can't just up and leave in the middle of things like surgeries or fires.

[@kevansf]

I thought of "night watchman" and "bartender".

[@ShortyGirl63]

I said he was pacing under my wedding gown. That wasn’t fair of them to play orchestra music for a belly dance. Even at 12 years old (the first time I watched this episode) I felt sorry for her and thought everybody knows what Belly dancing music is! I wonder what Gene and the audience would have answered to the last question...

[@sesamefan]

Hey Julie. So you were born in1963 and remember this episode? Wow! Cool.👍 Is Maxine Lambeth still alive? I looked and can't find her on the net...

[@brettgb1314]

I thought Doctor was a good answer, actually. Lol

[@mapleleaf0]

I didn't think it was bad. Surgeon would have been even better.

[@viennawaits4u36]

WOW! It was like watching challenger Ali MacGraw against reigning champion Julie Hagerty battle it out on Match Game 75.

[@CharlesWhite-wh4cc]

Ali McGraw!!! Yes I agree!!?

[@SuperC888]

Maxine is very jumpy

[@kickballjedi]

Fantastic comparison.

[@kickballjedi]

Gosh! I apparently went in a different direction on the "Walks off the job" question... I immediately thought "Airline Pilot" or "Ship Captain"... Surprised nobody else said either of those.

[@ifiwereamatchgamepanelist6779]

Lambeth-Williams, round 2, question A: "I don't think you even have these in the 1970s, but I couldn't resist: Unless she removes her ONESIE." (Bzzt!) Question B: "The curse of having a good vocabulary: Dolly becomes immortal, and I get forgotten because I remembered the word LOINCLOTH." (Ding!) Tie-breaker (let's assume I was in Betty's position), question A: "I don't say he didn't *want* to eat the warden, but sound strategy forced him to go with the EXECUTIONER." (Ding!) Question B: (just holding up the card) SUITCASE Super Match, part 1: (if asked before Richard) CHRISTMAS (if asked after Richard) WATER Part 2: PAPER Lambeth-Peek, round 1, question A: "I don't know all your technical terms, so I just said CONSTRUCTION WORKER." (Bzzt!)

[@jefferystewart5576]

My answer to the question about the guy walking off the job was pilot.

[@tomsaaristo6294]

Thank you!

[@optimizer6488]

Outrageous questions. Look at the, er, growth arc between 1973 and 1975...was Dick DeBartolo doing all the questions? Was he always?

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

BuzzrTV's copy of this episode is much clearer. GSN really mangled these shows.

[@feudfan55]

Why was doctor a bad answer to that last question about walking off the job? I would have said surgeon. It seemed self-evident.

[@km-zu6qm]

Nah. Pilot or Astronaut would be the "definitive" answer.

[@SuperC888]

Heart Surgeon was my answer but pilot is excellent too
