4. Why did Richard Dawson leave "Match Game"?

Answer: he had other entitlements

Richard Dawson left "Match Game" because he was doing that as well as "Family Feud" from 1976-1978. It became too much for him to handle doing two shows of each ("Family Feud" also had a nighttime version then).

Allen Ludden and Betty White were panelists the same week in 1980, just before the passing of Ludden.

Very few of them exist, as producers recorded over old tapes. The same falls prey for the original "Hollywood Squares" with Paul Lynde as the center square.

Answer: Johnny Olson

Johnny Olson did "Match Game 7X," and Gene Wood did "Match Game 90."

A new sign with the new year was dropped each year, and when it became 1979, the show became syndicated so the year was ultimately dropped.

Answer: Abigail Van Buren

Abigail Van Buren was a panelist on "Match Game" in 1979 during the syndicated run.
