(song stops)
Now we like to award the Barry & Enright lifetime achievement award for excellence. It's been 20 years on GSN since it first aired, but the history of it traces back to 1962.
(lights turn out; cue film)
The Match Game first began on NBC as a little simplistic panel show. It had teams of 2 stars and 1 player trying to win cash. The show ran until 1969, but........
By 1973, everything changed. The stars expanded to 6 and the contestants still had 2. The premise was simple. Have stars write down what fills in the blank and have the contestant match the answer the stars gave. It was that simple.
Well, not that simple. Over the years on CBS and Syndication from 1973 to 1982, the cast consisted of Charles Nelson Reilly, Brett Somers, Fannie Flagg and more among others. Its humor and wild party atmosphere kept the show from being a hit.
After it went off the air, it paired in 1983 to team up with "The Hollywood Squares," another hit of the time. Although it ran until 1984, the show's host, Gene Rayburn hated his tag team partner Jon Bauman. After 2 false starts, he was too old to do another one. By 1989. Bert Convy was supposed to host but fell ill. However.....
It was Ross Shafer who took over. It somewhat ran in the lunch hour until 1991 and by 1998......
Michael Burger had a most recent version that ran for 1 season. Although today, many people can still hear & see the 70's nostagia that is.....Match Game.
(film ends; lights come back on)
and so, we present Match Game, the first ever recipent of the Barry & Enright Lifetime acheievement award for excellence.
(MG Ticket plug cue; quick ovation from the audience)
Okay, sit down, we have a lot more stuff to do.
(song stops)
Youtube sensastion Scott Bradlee came up with this next act. Turn modern hits into....something else. Boys & Girls, Postmodern Jukebox!
(applause)
(applause)
And we continue.
Earlier this past weekend, more awards were handed out at the Fast Money Mart and they were.....
"Idiotest" getting the "Hum Along & Dance" award for best theme song. Catchy & very upbeat to fit the show. It also won an award for "#You'reIt" with this:

The award for "I remember That!" went to the Tylenol Time Capsule events. Thanks for making your parents watch when they were sick in school.
The "Like a Boss" award went to Alice Conkright of $otc. Do I need to know who see is?...........no.
