It seems to me a game show host would have to be very smart and quick on his/her feet. It sounds like Gene gave audiences their money's worth!Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-12463924906362679252016-08-04T00:51:42.289-04:002016-08-04T00:51:42.289-04:00I had searched all day long for somethins like thi...I had searched all day long for somethins like this.<br /><a href="http://luckypatcheraz.com" rel="nofollow">lucky patcher</a><br />slither.iohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206037060887867201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-87905965116515592452016-08-02T16:51:12.768-04:002016-08-02T16:51:12.768-04:00I don't remember the two celebrities and one c...I don't remember the two celebrities and one contestant, I thought it was one celebrity and two contestants.

It does indeed sound a lot like Family Feud! I just can't picture Gene Rayburn playing Dick Van Dyke's role in Bye Bye Birdie. He had a brief part in It Happened to Jane where he was, once again, holding a microphone to his mouth.The Metzinger Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728879307994086409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-69942551716470982602016-08-01T10:13:22.982-04:002016-08-01T10:13:22.982-04:00I loved Gene on The Match Game, and I remember him...I loved Gene on The Match Game, and I remember him as a congenial host on Radio's Weekend Monitor broadcast. The current revival of this show and Pyramid are extremely lacking in quality. My wife and I like to catch reruns of Pyramid hosted by Dick Clark on GSN. Dick knew what the audience liked.... to be able to watch a word play game show. He treated it with respect. Sadly, most television today is lacking said respect.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598321249896138287noreply@blogger.com
