I was at a taping of Match Game today (Nov 3). I ended up seeing all three shows. After the second show, they said anyone who wanted to stay for the third show could remain in the studio. Some observations I picked up on:
The judges seem to be more picky about answers they accept as matches
Alec seems to have gotten better with ad-libbing stuff funnier than what's on the TelepromTer.
The Celeb List for Show 1
Tituss Burgess, Sasheer Zamata, Darrell Hammond, Jane Krakowski, Rick Fox, Constance Zimmer
Show 2
Tituss Burgess, Jane Krakowski, Chris D'Elia, Any Sedaris, Rick Fox, Constance Zimmer
Show 3
Tituss Burgess, Jane Krakowski, Matthew Morrison, Valerie Bertinelli, Taye Diggs, Busy Phillips
Fist show started taping around 10 am. Last show finished around 6:30 pm. The warm-up guy was Kevin Bartini. Some stuff you won't see on the air:
A question had to be replaced when one celeb showed their answer before the contestant responded
One show had Round 2 recreated with new questions when they had a 0 - 0 tie
One interview was retaped when a contestant said the F word
When one celeb took so long, Alec said "Just write down a F__ ing answer."
So there you go.
