Sarah Silverman and Norm MacDonald do "Match Game"

Match Game

The famous gameshow of the 70's and 80's is back!!

Featuring Sarah Silverman, Norm Macdonald and more celebrity guests! For anyone who isn't familiar, Match Game pits two contestants against one another as they attempt to match fill-in-the-blank questions with their celebrity counterparts. Unlike most game shows however, comedy is the real prize here, as comedians are given the opportunity to have fun and help the show even if things sometimes get a little out of hand...

IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION:
Parking & entrance to studio is 1 block south of Beverly on Fairfax. Parking on the CBS lot is subject to availability. If the lot is full we suggest parking at The Grove or Farmers Market adjacent to the studio.

CBS Television City Stage 58
7800 Beverly Blvd.
Hollywood, CA. 90036

Register for tickets here

I've heard the host for this new version of "Match Game" will be Andy Daly, from "Mad TV" and the movie "Semi-Pro".

Sarah Silverman could be good. Not sure about Norm McDonald... I hope the other celebrities are light on the snark. Two is enough for this show.

Yes, way too much snark. It gets very annoying after a while.
I can't imagine they will be able to recreate the atmosphere of the old show.

I think he's very funny. He got a raw deal on SNL.

I think he's funny as well. I just don't know if he'll work on Match Game.

Norm will be fantastic. Silverman can be good in small doses.

That depends on the amount of blow, booze, and effeminate male celebrities available.

How early should I get there if I want to ensure that I don't have to part at the overflow lots?

If you get there before the Egyptians you should be okay.

Sarah Silverman and Norm MacDonald? I wonder if there will be any anal sex jokes.

Oh great, another lame "re-imagining" of a classic game show. I'll pass.

If I get there and I can't park at the studio, is it safer to leave my car at the Grove or at the Farmer's Market? Any thoughts?

Screw ticket information. How do I get to be a contestant?? These game show remakes are only fun if I can win cold hard cash playing them.

In keeping with the spirit of a the 70s version, you will have the option of winning $500!!

Note to producers:

Sets that look like spaceships, overly dramatic music and "million dollar challanges" are bad.

Sets with huge orange shag carpeting, and wonka-wonka music are good.

This is a great idea. Putting two of the most annoying people on the planet in such close proximity to one another will make it easier to kill them both with a minimum of effort (and ammo) expended.
