The revised pdf schedule with the entire Christmas Day Match Game marathon is now up on the blog. In case you're interested, the episode number for the Match Game 98 ep is MG98021, which I guess indicates a show pretty early in the run. The Bert Convy Match Game 90 pilot is just listed as "Pilot 3."
By the way, Joe Van Ginkel has uploaded his Match Game 98 episode with the same lineup of celebs to YouTube. I doubt it's exactly the same ep as in the GSN marathon, but you can watch the panel in action. Joe, of course, would later show up as a contestant on GSN's Russian Roulette. His Match Game opponent's mother and aunt were both contestants on the classic 1973-82 version.
I agree with one of the YouTube commenters that panelist Judy Tenuta was the worst. But for some reason Joe thinks Vicki Lawrence disliked him. Joe defends the 1998 version in his onscreen notes about the show. I do agree that Michael Burger did an okay if somewhat bland job as the host.
