Wow, one of the few episodes from which not a single celebrity is still alive. Not one. It’s sad to see this great show age. Correction: Fannie Flagg is still alive.

[@GarretGrayCamera]

Damn! I didn’t know Robert Hegyes died ten years ago! That’s sad.

[@Julie-sl8ul]

Yes, thank goodness she is ❤❤❤

[@MikeSebastianVideos]

Ethel Merman has no problem coaching up Brett when she won't stay in her lane.

[@magikexpert]

You can just tell or see it, that Brett REALLY bugs Ethel. As she does everyone lol

[@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687]

OMG people don't understand Brett and Ethel were GOOD FRIENDS. It's called banter.

[@ts.elliot5870]

​@@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687Let's see Ethel is a big star and Brett is a D lister wanna be. I'm guessing Ethel would hang with Gene but Brett wouldn't be included.

[@donaldleroy6502]

Wash and wear OR wash and dry, tough toss up. Jeretta was a 🍯 pie. I think 🐢 wax was a product back then

H/H match update: ... Today's action: Brett's "Makes Luv" scores our champion her second victory. Today's audience match question: "_________ Wonder" (My thoughts: Stevie, One-hit, No) The celebs: Richard (Stevie), Fannie (Is it any), and Brett (boy) The choice: Stevie The answers: No, Boy, Stevie Interesting that our champion chose the same three celebs in the same order as last time. Makes me feel fairly confident that she'll choose Richard again for the H/H even though they didn't match last time. Richard will indeed be playing again. He's missed the last three in a row, but he's matched five of the last ten. Today's H/H question: "Wash and _______ " (Back to the easy questions. Wash and wear. What else? Nothing good.) Richard finishes quickly. He looks toward Fannie and ever so slightly shakes his head as he files his card. The champion gives the predicted answer. I can't imagine Richard would say anything else. Holy Toledo! (No offense, Ohioans.) He wrote "Dry"! I actually thought of that, but it sounded so uncommon compared to the better answer. This is one of those rare times when the contestant had the definitive answer and Richard was the one who blew the match. No match today. Here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (Note: An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (Note: For tied scores, I consider the one with the greater number of matches to be higher; if the matches are equal, the celeb who first achieved that score goes on top.) Orson Bean - 100% (4 wins in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 83.3% (5 wins in 6 attempts). TIE: (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Charles - 51.0% (27 wins in 53 attempts). Betty - 50.0% (18 wins in 36 attempts). Fannie - 47.8% (11 wins in 23 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 41.4% (188 wins in 454 attempts). Brett - 41.3% (26 wins in 63 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 767, excluding the lost/missing/damaged episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, and 645. (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!")

Fannie was wearing a W C Fields sweatshirt.

[@steveyounker7897]

I thought the writers were looking for "turtle poop." They love rhyming answers, and if you can say "doo doo" or "droppings," you should be able to say "poop." But nobody said it.

[@StLawrencePlace]

In this year Stevie Wonder released his double album Songs in the Key of Life!

[@donaldleroy6502]

Legendary album

[@StLawrencePlace]

@@donaldleroy6502 my favorite album By him!

[@Julie-sl8ul]

It would be something if Gerretta & Doris Ann were on together... All that hair in one frame 😮

[@Julie-sl8ul]

Charles is such a doll ❤❤❤

[@lisaevans7293]

When this show started could they only use one word to fill in the blank? I dont know why i remember Gene saying that way back when.

[@randydellinger2996]

Are you old enough to remember “Little “Stevie Wonder?

[@cd-qt4zu]

Yes! Went to Toronto to see the Stones...and there he was, "Little Stevie Wonder!", headlining for the Stones! Back in '71? I think...

[@Floymin]

Didn't Carl Maulden also do commercials for American Express?

[@rodneyspears4867]

Yeah , he never left home without it. 😁

[@joeambrose3260]

Karl Malden

[@pencils812]

Oh yea.

[@pencils812]

Notice how Gene never calls Richard the "star" of Family Feud? He insists on being called a "star."

[@craigfoye6674]

The Godfather said, “At the nightclub, Billy the Comic got a big laugh when he hit me in the face with a cream pie. But I got a bigger laugh when I hit him in the face with a bullet.” 😂😂😂😂

[@magikexpert]

I was thinking bat. Maybe that was too violent an answer?

[@DJRitty]

thank u always 4 this show

[@Maskatronn]

$5,000 would be over $22,000 in today's money

[@ddruxman3579]

Did this show predate the expression "One Hit Wonder?"

[@swistedfilms]

I don't think so. They also didn't mention small wonder so there are a few that they didn't think of.

[@ts.elliot5870]

I googled one hit wonder. One of the articles traces it back to 1977. So this show would've predated the phrase.

[@janetselleck2871]

The contestant Patty bugs the hell out of me

[@shalimar1657]

She looks like a deranged seal when she claps

[@cd-qt4zu]

@@shalimar1657 aaahhaaaaahaaaaa!

[@jimwilloughby]

Jerreta was the one that bugged me.

[@joeambrose3260]

Don't be a hater, haters

[@joelkendrick965]

I was going to write Patty’s hot!

[@sdlively27]

On this date in 1922, Betty White was born..

[@KG-xt4oq]

Good grief...2 of the goofiest answers I've ever heard from a contestant...and that Sweathog guy hasn't been far behind in his stint on the show.

[@vilstef6988]

I feel a bit sorry for Jerretta and how the stress of the moment didn't leave her much to give answers. Gene was certainly being borderline rude.

[@noampitlik2332]

It's clear Charles took liberties with the rules, having more than one card to pick from.

[@sdlively27]

I don't know, they all were writing notes to each other all the time what you see him tear up might have be a note or him drawing something and then tearing it up. Could be wrong. He seems to be the card in the slot where he can pulled it out and lift from the front which might look like he had two cards ready. ;0)

[@pencils812]

It could be called into question.

[@ts.elliot5870]

​@@pencils812It's all part of the game.

[@wmkyle1]

7:43 Last chance for Stevie. Stevie, are you hiding under there? " Slide it Earl "

Ethyl is cool.

[@Bobalicious]

She was grazing.

[@briansk8362]

When he has the answer, he draws. When he doesn’t, he just sits there. 😂

[@ajmittendorf]

I would have said "turtle poop" to rhyme with "turtle soup." Although "turtle tinkle" has nice alliteration.

Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHa9nHakibB6jZY
