The History Of ‘The Match Game’…MUST SEE!
From start to finish, this is the whole story of ‘The Match Game’. From the TK41 days at NBC days to the Norelco days at Television City and LOTS more. After a great intro, the real history of the show that began in 1962 at NBC starts a 3:05 with TK41s at 4:00, but there are great studio shots all through this 45 minute piece from GSN. Even if you have to come back to it, do! It’s worth taking the time to watch! Enjoy and share!

The Bad Old Days Here’s Red Scare monger Sen. Joseph McCarthy in his favorite position…in front of a camera. Thank God for real newsmen and journalists like Edward R. Murrow who took him on and took him out. Source
When I was a kid I wanted to run camera (PC-70) for Match Game and Price is Right. On tpir those guys got to move. Boom truck zoom run camera. Awesome.
My mother and I enjoyed the show whenever we could watch it back during its CBS days.
Who ever dreamed that when Bob Noah asked me to come up to Goodson-Todman Production to talk about writing questions for a new game show they were going to produce, it would be a show that people would still play 50+ year later! It’s absolutely ____________!
Worked on the 30 Rock version…rehearsals were hilarious, Dick DeBartolo is a very funny man.
Thank you. I loved match game. Is that wrong?
