When They Found Brett Somers dead... her family [blanked] her.

Brett Somers dead at 83. (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jZSdAp2A3-N4JGhuatQhxCylV9Cw)

Now, the immediate question that springs to my mind is... Brett Somers was still alive?

[Viking Kitten]

P.S... Why am I doing the Angel of Death's job for her?

did anyone see the Match Game special they did a few months back on the Game Show Network?

i think it was Brett who told the story about them taping two shows per day. one was before lunch and the other was after.


and by lunch, i mean a fifth of Gilbey's and a jar of olives.

[swardboy]

Never heard of her.

[Xstnlsooner]

"cursed" her for wearing those GOOFY-looking glasses on TV. heh

[Viking Kitten]

Never heard of her.
You young kids today with your Whoopi Golderbergs and your Bruce Vilanches and your Caroline Rheas. You don't even begin to understand the magnitude of the debt those folks owe to the great ones like Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly and Richard Dawson.

You think Whoopi Goldberg invented the formula of D-list celebrities exchanging cheeky one-liners and double entendre-laden schtick in a daytime game show format? Do ya? Go back and read your history, son. Caroline Rhea couldn't hold Brett Somers polyester panstsuits.

Kids today are spoiled. That's what you are. Spoiled.

Richard Dawson pwns them all for appearing in "The Running Man".

And all those Hollywood Squares people are sober.
These kids don't know how to run a daytime game show.

Paul Lynde may have been sober but he was funnier than ****. :D

I believe he was referring to present day Hollywood Squares. Not old school HS.

[sooneron]

This must have been the year that he won the Masters...

I thought Paul Lynde was funny too. Loved him on Bewitched. :D

[sooneron]

Yup.

He was definitely the funniest.

Match Game taught me a lot as a lad. Where would I be today if not for tounge-in-cheek double-entendres?
Brett you will be missed, but enjoyed forever in rerun heaven.

Caroline Rhea is Costaki Economopoulos' girlfriend. I think the other guy is fat and has a beard! ;)

Yup for around 20 years i think; never divorced, just separated from each other and never made it official

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

I really liked her on Three's Company.

Bruce Vilanche looked like Jerry Garcia's stunt double. I think he was a comedy writer in Hollywood; thus, he got to appear on the Squares.
