I always like it when Fannie is on the panel.

Richard Paul portrayed Jerry Falwell.

CNR was quite familiar with Crisco and towels in the baths 😂❤😮

I'm sure Charles distracted him with this "YO, GENE. YO!" XD

nice to watch these celebrities.

H/H match update: ... ~~~Today's action: This is one of those fine days where we jump right in with the head-to-head match! Our champion had just won her second game and $100 in the audience match as time expired in the previous program. Given she matched with Richard her first time out, it seems a safe bet she'll pick him again... And she does. This is now King Richard's 11th consecutive H/H question. His most recent mega-streak of 70 consecutive H/H questions began after Fannie played in episode 1132 and ended when Betty was called on in episode 1200. (Since then he's watched Betty play again in 1205, Brett in 1206, Dick Martin in 1209, Don Sutton in 1212, and Betty again in 1213. Since then, Elaine also had a shot in 1226.) Stats: Richard has matched 169 of his 387 most recent attempts (43.7%), 108 of his last 247 attempts (43.7%), 47 of his past 112 attempts (42.0%), and 30 of his past 70 attempts (42.9%). His overall success rate is *42.5%* and this is his 865th 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 31 of her 72 attempts (43.1%), and Richard has matched 367 of his 864 attempts (42.5%). Neither Barbara Rhoades nor Richard Paul has yet answered a H/H question. *Today's H/H question: "________Animals"* (Grr-animals? That kids' clothing brand. Farm animals? Zoo animals? I don't know. I'll say Farm animals because it felt like that that was a cheap plastic toy that every kid had at one time, a bag with a set of little farm animals. My confidence level is low with this answer.) Something obvious occurred to our H/H King. He scribbled his answer quickly, filing it as he glanced over at his sixth-seat colleague. Our sophomore champion is ready with her answer: "Wild." Hmm. The audience response is an 8 or 9 on the positivity scale. It does sound like a good answer. I have no predictions. Richard goes "Wild"! Richard scores his 368th H/H match today. Random trivia: During the "Miss Kitty" ("Gunsmoke") question, Fannie said she liked her (I'm not sure if she meant the character or the actress), and that was enough to inspire me to do a quick double-check, but the two women's paths never crossed on Match Game. Amanda "Miss Kitty" Blake was on the panel one week only, for episodes 346-350, back in late 1974. Fannie had been on in the prior week, but the taping dates for the two weeks were 22 days apart. The semi-regular during Amanda's week? Joyce Bulifant. Gary was sitting in for CNR that week and Gene Wood (another one-and-done guest panelist) was in the first seat. Incidentally, Amanda was called on for a head-to-head question that week, but sadly didn't match. ~~~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 matches in 4 attempts). TIE: (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 matches in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 matches in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 71.4% (5 matches in 7 attempts). Betty - 51.2% (21 matches in 41 attempts). Charles - 48.6% (34 matches in 70 attempts). Fannie - 48.5% (16 matches in 33 attempts). (*)Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 matches in 18 attempts). Brett - 43.1% (31 matches in 72 attempts). Richard - 42.5% (368 matches in 865 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 matches in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1238, 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.)

The Crisco Kid....was a friend of mine.

Excellent video quality

Ahhhhh....there are no penguins in Alaska.....so glad Gene mentioned that

Laura Whipple may be the most beautiful game show contestant of all time. All natural too, unlike the cheap plastic women you see today.

I'm surprised they didn't stop tape and restart the round.

Contestant Laura - same outfit as last episode?

There's no way to know what the B question was, but the challenger would have matched 5 with "bats." If she ends up losing, a case could be made that she should be called back for another chance.

Laura Whipple. What a beautiful woman.

Fannie was a southern belle, who is single.

Fannie is life period :)

I hope when this match game, aired episode 1238 that the film was not grainy or wavy, because this young lady is so gorgeous and looking for an agent I’m sure she found one.

Gene only said ba he never said BATS and the contestant immediately said that’s what she was going to say. But he never said the full word.

In the intro RD is looking right at BR's HB's and it leaves him cross eyed.

After all those times that you've told the audience not to shout out answers, Gene!

"Stuffed" Animals! 🙂

I am oddly attracted to Richard Paul ❤

Richard Paul , was a very and talented gentleman. A fine actor, and lost way to soon.

Penguins don't have lips. They have beaks. Polar Bear is the correct answer

Too bad for Miriam gene messed up with answering the question because bat was the definitive answer

Miriam is my mother's Hebrew name.

You didn't put a lot of effort into that last question, did ya, Dawson?!

At 12M28S Charles is still writing, man!

Richard, Richard, Richard. That's all I heard until the Star Wheel came along.

Couple pretty gingers on the panel! I have no idea who Barbara Rhoades is.

ROFL!! Good one Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Charles twice! You have been a roll lately too.. ;0) ROFL! Love ya Fanny three times! Fanny you are on a roll this week.. ;0) ROFL! Love ya Richard! ;0)

I want Laura Whipple.

Terrible color for a suit.
