The New Season Of Match Game



Hello everyone! I was initially going to have my next Match Game blog post be about some of the questions I have come up with, but due to recent events, I feel the need to write about something else instead.

This past week, the entirety of the new season of Match Game was taped in three days, with a total of eight episodes. For those of you wondering how this is even possible, they taped two episodes on the first day, three tapings on the second day, and three tapings on the third day. 

At the same time, I was also thinking that some celebrities would post pictures and videos of them being at tapings, but I was not prepared for what was about to happen. On the first day of tapings, a trailer was released that shared the names of some of the celebrities that will be on the season, then an article was released that shared more celebrities that will be on the season, and celebrities posting to Instagram has revealed even more celebrities. For those of you who are wondering, as of right now, we have a total of 30 celebrities that are confirmed to be a part of the season. Some of the photos also showed some pretty big changes that are coming to the show. In all past versions of the show, the setup for the panelists has been man-woman-man on the top row, and woman-man-woman on the bottom row, but some celebrities posting have shown that in some episodes the layout will be man-woman-man on the top row, and woman-woman-man on the bottom row, and other episodes might also follow this format, and at least two episodes have four female celebrities and two male celebrities. I think it’s cool that they are making so many changes, as it makes it different from the Alec Baldwin version and all other past versions. 

I am now going to go over all the celebrities that have been confirmed as being panelists on this season, and I will also explain who each of them are for those of you who don’t know who they are. 

Adam Pally - comedian and actor known for starring in Happy Endings, The Mindy Project, and the Sonic The Hedgehog movie series.

Match Game Questions

After having talked about it in two previous posts already, I am now finally going to share with you all the Match Game questions that I have written!  Before I share them with you all, I would like to inform you all of how the questions on Match Game work. They are not standard game show questions, as they are bizarre, random, humorous, risqué fill-in-the-blank questions where contestants have to fill in the blank with whatever they think is the right answer, making it almost more like an improv prompt. With that out of the way, here are the questions I have written, with explanations for the correct answers. Snow White Has Added An Eighth Dwarf To Her Cult Named Racy. Racy Still Sings Heigh Ho On His Way To Work, But He Doesn’t Work In The Diamond Mines, Racy Works At A ________  I feel that the correct answer in this scenario would be strip club.  Dr Seuss Has Created A New Reality Show Called The Bachelorax. Instead Of Being Given Roses, Contestants Are Given ________...

Match Game Episode 1 AKA An Event 4 Or 6 Years In The Making

Image
After FOUR. LONG. YEARS, and coming to acceptance that I would never see another episode of Match Game again, it was time to watch the first episode of Season 6 of Match Game! The excitement that I was feeling at this moment was unlike anything that I had felt for any show since at least February when the latest season of The Masked Singer premiered, although I still don’t think that’s a good comparison because it’s always a couple of months before The Masked Singer returns, and again, it had been four years since there was any new Match Game episodes. I was so happy that the show was coming back, and with a host as funny and iconic as Martin Short. And after watching the episode, I can safely say that it was just as good as the Alec Baldwin version. Before I get into the episode, I will let you all know which celebrities were panelists, as well as their claim to fame for those of you who don’t know who they are. Selena Gomez - I do not need to explain who she is, as I am positive that...
