Get ready to match the (newer) stars...

At the San Francisco Sketchfest this year they are going to include in the program a live remake of "MG" (until Fremantle finds out and sues), with some names that some of you may recognize from today's comedy circuit and Jack Bauer's favorite assistant--the schedule from www.sfsketchfest.com:

DAY 10: Saturday, January 19
Match Game Live:
with panelists Patton Oswalt, Bob Odenkirk, Brian Posehn, Maria Bamford, Paul F. Tompkins, Scott Aukerman and host Jimmy Pardo
The Eureka Theatre at 9:30PM

DAY 11: Sunday, January 20
Match Game Live:
with panelists Mary Lynn Rajskub, Brian Posehn, Maria Bamford, Paul F. Tompkins, Doug Benson, Scott Aukerman and host Jimmy Pardo
142 Throckmorton Theatre at 8PM

Lots of other goodies for you comedy fans (on the 20th is a "Freeks and Geeks" reunion and on the 19th is a "Dr. Katz" reunion--the big reunion is a "Kids in the Hall" reunion on the third weekend of the fest).  The URL above has the ticket information.

Ah, but will they be giving away a $100 cash prize and York Peppermint Patties, Turtle Wax and Rice-A-Roni? After all, Rice-A-Roni is the San Francisco treat. I highly doubt it.

Not that it makes the San Francisco occurrences less notable, but Jimmy Pardo and crew have been doing live Match Games for some time now in Los Angeles.

Yes but they don't give away York Peppermint Patties, Turtle Wax or Rice-A-Roni in L.A., either. Or $100 cash. And judging from the pictures on line, they don't have those writing doo-dads with name cards for the panelists (they keep the Marks-A-Lots from drying out).

I'll be doing live performances of Mindreaders some time in the distant future :-P

Do you still have the ones you used at Congreff? Maybe Jimmy could borrow those, or (the better alternative) you could lease them out, just like the folks at College Bowl, Inc. sell clocks and lockouts as a side business.

I still have them, and they will probably surface the next time MG is played at the Congreff. If he doesn't have the budget for York Peppermint Patties, etc., what makes you think he has the budget to lease my doo-dads? Those suckers were not cheap to have built in the first place, BTW.
