Match Game 75 (Episode 444) (Number BLANK?)

[@aracelyguerrero360]

Awww I like Peter. Seems like a great guy. I love how happy he gets when he wins.

[@kristabrewer6736]

I like him too, but for a guy, he sure acts like a girl (and I'm not just talking about in the supematch; either)

Richard's reaction at 15:00 .....PRICELESS!! :D

On the 22nd of last month Orson Bean joined the "Match Game 90's Club" (celebrities who have made it to 90) along Betty White, Kaye Ballard, Schecky Green and Bob Barker. Congratulations on getting to 90!

They really appreciated each other's intelligence, humor and comic timing, especially when it was risqué or especially witty. They were master and mistress of the sexual innuendo, but it was more subtle on her part as per their personas.

Didn't Lynda Day George say that? EDIT: Never mind. I stand corrected. Betty did say that.

Sorry folks. Yes it’s 444. All fixed now!

@@donaldleroy6502 I just went back to look. It was a Rubin Bros suit. The tie didn't go so well. One time he said something like all the ties were gifts from his wife. Anyway, he also said that his outfits were coordinated by a man named Dayton Anderson. Many times his ties seemed to clash.

[@donaldleroy6502]

@@pencils812 yes that is true, I do agree that an ugly tie can kill every wardrobe but in THIS case the suit was awful

[@pencils812]

@@donaldleroy6502 so who is to blame? Rubin Bros for making it, Dayton Anderson for coordinating it, Gene for wearing it, Gene's wife for giving him that tie, or the panel who cheered and complimented him?

This episode of Match Game 75 is featured in a book by Elana Levine called "Wallowing In Sex: The New Sexual Culture of 1970s American Television". It specifically references the turtle question, although it does get at leas one detail wrong about the episode. It credits Betty White with the "engine in the back" line instead of Lynda Day George.

[@dmnemaine]

Oops. I got that wrong. Betty White did say that. Never mind.

[@deanstrand4260]

Betty: "Now he's kind of turning gray and moldy."

I agree.

The correct way to spell master's degree is with the apostrophe. The s in master's indicates a possessive (the degree of a master), not a plural.
