Match Game is a classic game show that originated in the 1960s and continued throughout the 1970s and 80s. The show was revived in 2016, with season 2 airing in 2017. In episode 1233, the panel of celebrity guests includes actors Cheryl Hines and David Alan Grier, comedian Mario Cantone, TV personality Sunny Hostin, actress Miranda Cosgrove, and television producer Mark Cuban.

As with every episode of Match Game, the show is hosted by Alec Baldwin, who introduces each contestant and sets the stage for the game. The game itself involves a panel of six celebrities who must try to match their answers to a fill-in-the-blank statement with the answer of the contestant. Each time a match is made, the contestant earns points.

In this episode, the panel faces off against two contestants, each hoping to win the grand prize of $25,000. The contestants are introduced and given a chance to explain a bit about themselves before the game begins. As always, Alec Baldwin provides entertainment and humor throughout the show, keeping both the contestants and viewers engaged and laughing.

The first statement of the night is presented, and the panelists write down their answers. The contestants then take turns guessing which answers the panelists chose. The first round is often slow, as both contestants and panelists get used to the rhythm of the game. However, tensions soon rise as the contestants begin to gain points and the panelists struggle to come up with matching answers.

As the rounds progress, the statements become more and more outrageous, often leading to fits of laughter from both the contestants and the panelists. The chemistry between the celebrities is evident, and they often play off each other's answers for comedic effect.

One of the highlights of the show is when the panelists have the opportunity to give their own shout-outs or plugs. This gives them the chance to promote their various TV shows, movies, or other projects while also providing a bit of humor for the audience.

Throughout the episode, Alec Baldwin interacts with both the contestants and the panelists, providing commentary and adding to the overall energy of the show. He keeps the game moving at a fast pace, ensuring that both contestants have the opportunity to earn points and possibly win the grand prize.

In the end, one of the contestants emerges victorious, earning the grand prize and the satisfaction of knowing they have bested the panel of celebrities. As the show comes to a close, Alec Baldwin thanks the contestants and panelists for their participation, and assures viewers that they will be back again soon for another episode of Match Game.

Overall, Match Game season 2 episode 13 is a fun and entertaining installment of the classic game show. With a talented panel of celebrity guests, hilarious fill-in-the-blank statements, and Alec Baldwin's expert hosting, it's a must-watch for fans of comedy and game shows alike.
