Ginger snaps

A while back I reviewed the new Canadian revival of Match Game. So I decided to stroll through some of the old show's bits and pieces on YouTube.

Game show maven Adam Nedeff has uploaded clips from one of the most memorably blooper-prone contestants in the show's history. Her name was Ginger Morris, and the poor lady probably was very sensible in real life. In Match Game life, though...well, the clips tell the story.

I don't want to spoil the bloopers for anybody who hasn't seen them before. Almost any Match Game fan has at least heard of the clips and has probably seen them plenty of times. And if you're not a Match Game fan, these clips may make you one. The dumber the answers, the better the show.

One technical note: these clips date from Match Game's post-Dawson era. Bill Daily occupied the front-and-center Dawson chair for these episodes. Daily's role in these clips was relatively minor, but he wasn't a terrible substitute for Richard, especially the bored, uninterested Dawson who finally left the show.
