A SHORT DESCRIPTION:
"Match Game"-Gene Rayburn hosts as contestants fill in an excluded word in humorous, often double-entendre-laden, sentences and attempt to match answers with a panel of six wisecracking celebrities in this popular 1970's game show.
"'Match Game' was generally a silly format for a game show, but the interaction between the panel, the contestants, and myself made it a hit."
- GENE RAYBURN , Host of Match Game (1962-1984)
"It wasn't a job. It was a social engangement."
-CHARLES NELSON REILLY,Regular Panelist (1973-1982/1990-91)
