[@davidganderson870]

[@stnwrd]

The mold was broken after these people were made!!!!

[@charayrogers2788]

First the 12 o'clock high I would have said Cheech and chong

[@pencils812]

Lol

[@shedjammer87]

I thought of Timothy Leary.

[@lonewolfette]

Love the Newkirk cameo. 😉

[@roberthiguera5346]

I remember Mary wicks she used to be on the Make room for Daddy show she was a character named Liz she was so funny

[@pencils812]

She was funny on an episode of Sanford and Son as a maid.

[@roscoesnell7961]

She was also in the movie White Christmas.

[@dakotalovett2450]

How about Miss Cathcart on “Dennis the Menace”? She was hilarious; she stole every scene she was in!

H/H match update: ... ~~~Today's action: The challenger completely strikes out with her second-round answer, and so our champion wins another game without even hearing her round-two question! *Today's audience match question: "Solid________"* (My thoughts: Gold, as a rock, State) The celebs: Fannie (Gold), Richard (Gold Cadillac), Brett via Charles or Gary (State) The choice: Gold The answers: Rock, State, Gold Much better than "yesterday" (the champion struck out on the audience match her first go-around). Well, last time she chose Richard to offer the first suggestion, only to take that suggestion and strike out in the audience match. Today she picks Fannie first and goes with her suggestion to win $500. So will she choose Fannie (who has a better history of matching in the head-to-head) or go with Richard like everyone else lately? She seems a bit undecided before choosing King Richard for his 49th consecutive H/H attempt. (No other celeb has played a head-to-head question since Fannie in 1132.) Stats: Richard has matched 145 of his 337 most recent attempts (43.0%), 84 of his last 197 attempts (42.6%), 37 of his past 89 attempts (41.6%), 23 of his past 62 attempts (37.1%), and 6 of his past 20 attempts (30.0%). His overall success rate is *42.1%* and this is his 815th attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Charles has matched 34 of his 70 attempts (48.6%), Fannie has matched 16 of her 33 attempts (48.5%), Brett has matched 30 of her 71 attempts (42.3%), and Richard has matched 343 of his 814 attempts (42.1%). Neither Mary Wickes nor Gary Crosby has yet been chosen for a head-to-head question. *Today's H/H question: "________Jumper"* (Puddle jumper? Claim jumper? Turnstile jumper? High jumper, as in athlete. Nothing really sounds great. I'll stick with my first thought, puddle jumper. But I'm tempted to say claim jumper.) Richard looks pensive. The champion looks pensive. Apparently, Richard wasn't puzzled for long. The camera showed the champion for just a few seconds before returning to Richard, but he's already finished writing and files his answer. Our champion goes for "High Jumper." Not bad. I'm not sure why I rejected it. It sounds like a likely response... The audience applauds enthusiastically. To me, Richard looks like he's matched. Indeed. "High." Richard scores his 344th H/H match today. ~~~Here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (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). TIE: (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 71.4% (5 wins in 7 attempts). Betty - 50.0% (19 wins in 38 attempts). Charles - 48.6% (34 wins in 70 attempts). Fannie - 48.5% (16 wins in 33 attempts). (*)Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 42.3% (30 wins in 71 attempts). (42.2535%) Richard - 42.2% (344 wins in 815 attempts). (42.2085%) Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1177, excluding the missing/damaged/unavailable episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, 910, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027, 1028, 1029, and 1030. *Also, note that episode 849 was never produced. (These stats do, however, include the H/H results of missing episode 968 as those results were revealed in episode 969. Note: There was no H/H in missing episode 1035, as we learn in 1036.)

[@jacobestevez7570]

... that's right Fannie ...

[@markjamesmeli2520]

Turns out that play Fannie was in only (PATIO/PORCH) ran for 11 performances.

[@donaldleroy6502]

Not sure what Gary Crosby is famous for other than being Bings son. Gene's a pretty smart guy so I'm astounded that he said 14 carat when the answer was SOLID gold, I thought even the unwashed knew it's actually 24 carat

[@KevinPare]

Whenever Brett doesn't get the question, then suddenly says she gets it, she doesn't get it.

[@lynskyrd78]

Yeah, that happens every question... She should just ask to point the camera at her.. Thats all she cares about...

[@feudfan55]

Clearly none of them have been to church if they’ve never heard of “The Solid Rock.”

[@daverice2426]

Funny how "high" got taken over by the stoners.

[@georgemaster689]

Which episode of MGPM was the star wheel debut? I know it's the week of June 28,1978.

[@sdlively27]

ROFL! Love ya Charles! ;0)

[@pencils812]

So funny.

[@abrahammorrison6374]

Throws checks (hip and shoulder checks) should be the definitive answer. Definitive answer is pucks.

[@pistolgrip44mag]

Punches.........as hockey players often fight.

[@jeanthibodeau8686]

Teeth cause they loose teeth

[@kimandrews7186]

Brett she’s 50 years younger than you and no you do not listen!!

[@scottm.franklinnc7942]

I'd love to frisk Fannie😜😂🙈

[@pistolgrip44mag]

Why does Irving have to be Jewish?.......

[@daverice2426]

Dunno, but "oy vey" was the first thing that popped into my mind too

[@masonrobichaud8791]

I don't know why but Pat Sawyer creeped the hell out of me! Something about her was really weird... O.O

[@garfield2439]

I get what you mean, there is something but idk what

[@ScholarAnn]

It might be her glasses. They really give her insect eyes.

[@sdlively27]

Free spirit flying again but not very often it seems lately.. ;0)

[@richardwhite5633]

An additional good comment about Gene Rayburn. He needs to be careful on what he says to the contestants because they may come back with a law suite against his m.

[@tonystone1016]

He's dead, it'd be difficult to sue him.

[@joebertolini3518]

I never thought it was the man's job to put the seat UP. I figured that I'd just leave it down so I wouldn't get yelled at. Of course, sometimes the stream drifted and got on the seat. But that was always "her" problem, not mine. If wanted the seat to be clean it was HER responsibility to put it up.

[@beckydutra6543]

What the?? 🤣🤣

[@randydellinger2996]

How long have you been divorced?

[@lesburns7395]

That's the dumbest shit I EVER heard

[@johniringan8460]

Linnet was pretty but dumb.

[@pencils812]

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