Match Game is an American television program that is a game show. This show is quite old as it premiered back in 1962, and since then, it has been revived several times. In season 4 of this comedy show, the panelists were at their wittiest best as they tried to match the celebrities' answers. This particular episode named Episode 4, was an entertaining and hilarious watch as the panelists played the game with great enthusiasm.
The show’s host, Alec Baldwin, kicked off the episode by welcoming the panelists and the contestants. He introduced each of the panelists, which included some of the funniest and talented celebrities in the industry. These panelists included Margo Harshman, David Alan Grier, Ellie Kemper, Kal Penn, Sherri Shepherd, and Adam Rodriguez. The contestants were two individuals from the audience, who were excited to take on the challenge and win the grand prize.
The game itself was straightforward, and quite simple. The contestants would be given a fill-in-the-blank question with a key phrase missing, and the goal was to fill in the blank to match the celebrities' answers. In this humorous show, each of the six panelists had to provide an answer to a question, and the contestants had to match their answers. The contestants would score one point for every correct guess and the one with the most points at the end of the game wins.
In episode 4, the questions were hilarious, and the panelists' responses were even funnier. The first question read, “The neighborhood looks so different now, last week they opened up a ___ store.” The panelists had to fill in the blank, and their answers were quite varied. Some of the answers included a liquor store, a dildo shop, and a marijuana dispensary. Sherri’s answer was especially hilarious as she said, “A store that sells boots, so I bought some, and now I'm six-feet-tall!"
Another question that had the panelists in splits was, “The pet store owner said, ‘I promise you this is a genuine bobcat. Just look at it, you can see its blank.’” The answers ranged from a bobbed tail, a wildcat, a nasty disposition, and various other humorous responses. Ellie Kemper’s answer was quite amusing as she said, “You can see his attitude, he’s a rebel.”
There were also some questions that were a bit controversial and had the panelists and the audience buzzing. Nevertheless, the show continued with its hilarious and witty banter, making it an entertaining watch for everyone. The contestants were also quite good at guessing the panelists' answers, and it was funny to see how some of them struggled with the questions, whereas others were spot on.
The highlight of the show was the bonus round where the winning contestant could win thousands of dollars. Alec Baldwin presented a fill-in-the-blank sentence to the contestant and then called upon all the panelists to write down their answers. The contestant then had to match his or her response with just one panelist to win the cash prize. The panelists' answers were quite funny, and it was entertaining to see how the contestant chose the correct answer, as the audience cheered him on.
Overall, the fourth episode of Match Game season 4 was a fun-filled and entertaining watch. The celebrity panelists were at their witty best, and it was enjoyable to see them banter back and forth with each other. The contestants were also quite engaging, and it was interesting to see if they could match their answers with the panelists. The show continues to be a classic game show that provides ample laughs and entertainment to its viewers.
