She was a great singer

Where he get baby blue.

No men contestant?

Kevin is Nice: Pale blue was once called "baby blue" and it was also the title of a popular song of the time.

Choked on a sandwich! Good lord

Thank you.👍 Very shortly after this, Gene asks, "The pretty nurse said to the doctor, 'Doctor, I really don't think you should (blank) while you're operating'". Jack Klugman's answer was, "eat". So Brett says, "Take a look at his WEIGHT, and you'll see why he said 'eat'", just before it was Mama Cass's turn to answer. I wonder if Brett drank, and if she did, I wonder if she was a 'mean drunk'?

Thanks

And to think she sat beside Charles, for how many years? (episode 90 is early, so not even sure if Charles had joined the show yet, but still...)

Well aren't you just amazing...

Thank you.

Except for Price is Right and Family Feud, what other game shows are on these days?

Agreed. The new match game with alec baldwin is unwatchable garbage.

Most of the new game shows suck-------big time--do not watch any of them.

Match Game was always fun to watch,they were always cutting up and nothing was scripted!

Nancy Hahn That's so true. I miss the old Monte hall show Let's make a Deal. My Dad was friends with Gene Rayburn when they was little kids , way before Gene became famous.

huge is right...

MJCLAXDEN, Cass Elliott (aka Mama Cass of the Mamas and Papas) only appeared on Match Game for that one week in 1973. But it would not be her last TV appearance on a game show. From what I researched, she along with Jacqualine Susann made their final game show appearances on "Celebrity Sweepstakes" in the summer of 1974. Cass Elliot died shortly after of a heart attack while eating a ham sandwich (due to contrary belief, it was not due to choking on one as many believed). She was replaced by Eliane, the lead singer of Spanky and Our Gang during all later and future Mamas and Papas reunion tours.

Yes, she was...huge

That's not nice everyone, Yes, Cass Elliot was overweight, so what?? She still had a fantastic voice and like it or not she is part of our musical history.

I thought that's who that was..... Mama Cass was definitely one of a kind.

True. Entertainment in todays world is filled with filth, murder and low standards

Same here. TV today sucks. I watch older episodes of 60s and 70s tv series or sitcoms on DVD.

I used to think it would be fun to go on a gameshow and call the host "Wink" just for laughs. I don't think anybody would get it anymore.

I think you missed the adult human because it was intentional for children to miss adult humor. It takes a lot more intelligence in screen writing to do that then it is to be blatant with sex like things are today

Couldn't help but notice your name. When my wife and I got married in 2005, I was living in Lexington, KY at the time. In 2013, we went on vacation to Pigeon Forge via Lexington (we were living in St. Louis at the time) and drove downtown to relive a few memories. Now I am a Christian and don't normally talk like this...but I couldn't help but bust out laughing upon seeing a restaurant there in downtown Lexington called "Hugh Jass Burgers". LOL

I think it’s one thing to make fun of appearance (which isn’t cool to start with) and making fun of someone’s sexual orientation.

@Willie Gordon no one also chooses to be gay. Many people who are gay go through a period of time where they do wish they could “change” . Many people do say they are “fat and proud”, so I don’t know where you’ve been lol. Point is it’s wrong to use that type of language and it’s a good thing it’s a “banned” episode.

@Willie Gordon if you aren’t someone who is apart of the LGBTQ+ community you can’t decide if something isn’t offensive to that community.

@@tjmoore8281 That’s two things.

I certainly don’t miss the days when Fag was an acceptable word on television, but speak for yourself I guess

@@zerotwoisreal when it says “banned” it means banned in syndication, not banned at the time it was made. This was a live show, so this 100% aired at the time

Totally agree.

I still watch reruns of these old Match Game shows, on Game Show Network.

WTF does your sexual orientation have to do with anything? Why do always need to scream that from mountain tops? Nobody cares. I'm heterosexual - big deal.

Yep. I don’t want them to erase it out of existence. It’s how it was back then, and it’s a reminder for people of how gay people were treated.

@@tommykeith6589 That's A myth. She did NOT choke on a sandwich. She had a heart attack.

@@tommykeith6589 So many *ugly* spirited people in the comment section. My friend Faith was an average size pretty European 26 year old, who many guys wanted to date in my home town, but had stolen the heart of a fellow European guy originally from Romania. She started getting sick and was tested and found to have Chronic Kidney Disease. They put her on medication, which was a steroid, for her CKD. As with many steroid drugs, along with other medications such as insulin..... she started gaining weight uncontrollably. By the time she was getting married 6 months later, she had gained 40 pounds...now needing her gown altered to fit. A year later, she had grown to nearly 80 pounds overweight. They adjusted her meds repeatedly, but could never get the weight off. Looking at her weight, you could assume and make jokes about eating, pig etc..... but you would be a jerk, and as she fights for her life 20 years later, waiting for a kidney ..... she will still be a better human being than some of you in this comment section. She is kind, thoughtful, and has never mistreated anyone or looked down on others. This world will never deserve such people.

@@bigbertha4080 I agree with you - don't be mean. Also tho we can acknowledge that 80% to 95% of overweight people are NOT overweight for health issues. They are overweight from eating the wrong foods/ too much food. A number of people who blame their weight on age or being big-boned or having a baby or birth control hormones or surgery years ago. These people so focused on HOW/ WHAT initially caused it while ignoring what is needed to maintain all that extra weight. It requires CONTINUING to eat too much of wrong food = portion control 101. People who r obese should try what can to get control & get healthy. Esp young people, like how Mama June had no control over her own eating & instilled same failed relationship w food to Honey Booboo. We might only have 1 life, so should all try for a prolonged life of health. Overeating is not healthy. BOTTOM LINE: NOBODY should say hurtful mean things to ANYONE, but we should all value health for as long as we can. That is part of respecting the gift of life.

I watch reruns on buzz and game show network

I had a babysitter when I was little who always had the TV on at her place, and she got me hooked on game shows, including Match Game, over KOLR, channel 10, the Ozarks' CBS affiliate.

She's close with friends with Charles (who is openly gay), of course she didn't meant any "ill will." Plus the show has had multiple gay moments where every guy literally ran around and kissed each other.

As a gay male I think you should lick a team like the rest of us.

Saying fag was like saying gay or homo these days.

She was married to Klugman for over 50 years. Up to the day she died.

Though they were separated.

as a gay i dont think she meant it in a bad way.

I saw news article after she died saying she was lifelong friends with CNR and visited him until he died. She died less than four months later.

They were divorced when on this show they were married for 20 years but not while appearing on MG.

I watched it all the time. I was 13 when this aired. But I had no idea what Cass was famous for until years later. We weren't permitted to listen to "The Devil's Music." Highly suggestive game shows sure, but never "The Devil's Music." Mom was an ironic person.

Monti Rock referred to himself as "The Disco Faggot" for years! I think it comes down to the only people who find words offensive are those who make a point to get offended --- and they're usually middle-class, white women. lol

Being CALLED a fag by someone in person is a lot different from what she did...again this was different time. It shows a LOT of IGNORANCE from society today to look back on old times with TODAY'S eyes and TEACH that way of thinking. It's LAZY whitewashing and LIES... those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it lol How else do you TEACH what's right and wrong WITHOUT the wrong.

I read that the producers wanted Klugman to be a regular, but he would only do the show if they gave his wife Brett a job on the show. Of course, JK was too much of a in-demand actor to be on the show all the time.
