I grew up watching Match Game and now I watch reruns on BuzzrTV (channel 169 for me - San Francisco Bay Area Xfinity). This is one game show that doesn't get old no matter how many times I watch it. The main reason is it's host Gene Rayburn (pictured left on above picture).
I must say I was little when I watched this show, therefore,I don't remember a lot of the contestants and some celebrities guests (minus the regulars like Brett Sommers, Charles Nelsen Reilley and Richard Dawson and few others) that were on the show, but I remember the format and some other things related to the show.
Watching re-runs I've been introduced to the most nervous game show contestant I've ever seen, past and present. Her name is Evie Phineas. You have to watch the entire show below. I must warn you, you will be rolling over Evie. I have a feeling this lady was the nicest person on earth.
Enjoy!
I just saw Evie today on BUZZRtv & she really was hysterical. All those faces she made - so funny, and so much fun to watch. I am a loyal viewer of BUZZRtv & enjoy all the old game shows. Love your review!

ReplyDeleteI just saw “Match Game’s Most Memorable Contestants: Evie.” What an adorable and sincere personality. Whenever I need a pick-me-up, this video will be at the top of my list.
