Match Game

With Match Game having 4 different versions in the last 4 decades, ABC brings back the star-studded, big money and hilarious game show in a whole new era!

The show first began with Alec Baldwin, showcasing his sarcastic and witty humor and great rapport with the celebrity panelists. Then, after the show went on a hiatus for a few years, it returned to the airwaves with a new host that has a hosting style that's similar to the late Gene Rayburn's, but adding his own sense of humor too. That man was the hilarious Martin Short, who is pretty decent as well, although the panelist selection still needs work, it still is a fun watch.

So, enjoy the all-new star-studded Match Game on ABC!

This show was perfect when Alec hosted. It was funny and everyone looked like they had good times.

I had high hope when it returns with Martin Short as host. Even though Martin managed quite well, many things just don't work. Martin forgot the rules several times. The stand holding the questions didn't work properly. Some guests are not funny (especially Selena Gomez, even though she's very lovely.)

And the questions! The writers should have come up with better questions. Most of the time, the question did not give hints to what answers should be in general, leading to almost non-matching answers. The questions in Alec Baldwin's shows were funny because they often had double-entendre and witty answers. I had great fun watching it but these new shows in 2025 paled in comparison.

Below average junior high school boys must be writing the ridiculous questions on this modern lowbrow version of Matchgame. It's painful to watch Alec Baldwin, through no fault of his own, struggling to explain the stupid questions to the guest celebrities. I'll take reruns of the classic version any day over this tripe.

I will say that I got addicted to this in the summer of the year 2016 and can not wait to see more no it's not always appropriate for children but that is the whole point of the late time it's super fun and hilarious loved Tyson and some of the others not so much of a fan of Rosie odonald but besides that I loved it couldn't quite laughing at some points of the show just please get Rosie the hell off of the show and we should have a great time and a few good laughs and regards to alec Baldwin he was hilarious and just made me want more of him and his style of things such a joy to enjoy and language at a very funny bunch of people just having a good time

Despite all of the less intelligent people who posted one star reviews this show was entertaining when Alec Baldwin was hosting. Martin is great at what he does, but he just cannot hold a candle.

It has completely lost its cadence. Even with Alec's bad luck in the last few years how is that not going to help his self deprecating ways on the show?
