Countdown to Christmas: Christmas on Match Game (1973)

 With the Christmas episode of Match Game in 1973, a tradition was born. Panelist Charles Nelson Reilly (ex-Ghost & Mrs. Muir, Lidsville) dressed up at Santa, and took method acting to a new level. Santa Reilly is joined by regulars Brett Somers (The New Perry Mason) & Richard Dawson, plus guests June Lockhart, who gets in a plug for CBS' coverage of the Tournament of Roses Parade a week later, Jack Cassidy (ex-He & She), and Loretta Swit (M*A*S*H).


Looking back at it today, a lot of the questions merit some facepalming, especially the contestants' answers.

Rating: A.
