Upcoming Match Game Episode: Host, Show Details Revealed
The popular game show "Match Game" is making a comeback this summer, and comedy legend Martin Short is set to take the reins as the new host [1][2][4].
Originally aired in the 1960s, "Match Game" is back with a fresh twist and an impressive lineup of celebrity panelists [1][3]. While the exact list of panelists for this season has yet to be announced, viewers can expect a lively and entertaining atmosphere as they try to match answers with the celebrities [1][3].
Short, a veteran in the entertainment industry, has made a name for himself in various TV shows and movies, including "SCTV," "Saturday Night Live," "Primetime Glick," "The Three Amigos," "Father of the Bride," and "Schmigadoon" [4]. Most recently, he won an Emmy and currently stars in "Only Murders in the Building" [2].
The game show follows the classic format, with two contestants competing head to head to match the answer to a fill-in-the-blank question among the celebrity panelists [1]. Each hour-long episode consists of two games [1].
To catch the new iteration of "Match Game," viewers can tune into their local ABC station or a live TV streaming service such as Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, or YouTube TV [6]. The show airs immediately after "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" [7].
For those who miss the live broadcast, the latest episodes will be available on-demand on Hulu the day after they air on TV [8]. The ultimate goal is to get the most correct matches to move on for the chance to win $25,000 [9].
Martin Short joins the list of previous hosts for "Match Game," which includes Gene Rayburn, Bert Convy, Charlene Tilton, Rickie Lake, and Alec Baldwin [10]. With Short's energetic and comedic presence, the new version of "Match Game" promises to be an entertaining addition to ABC's summer lineup.
