Fill in the blank
Bob was so dumb
How dumb was he?
He was so dumb, when George asked him for a bite,
Poor George, he --blanked-- the poor man

Gene Rayburn,
Here is my answer

He bit him
My answer doesn't stink

**Rue MacClanahan**
Sorry, Mel
That's not my answer
I said he took the guy to McDonald's

**Contestant**
Match Gamer, Match Gamer
Make me a match
Charles Nelson
You are the best
Night after night I'm watching this dumb show
So find me match
Here we go

**Charles Nelson Reilly (Spoken)**
Mel, I can't give you a match answer! I said he took the guy to the zoo

(Audience chuckles)

In order to win, you need at least one

**Gene**
Well, why not?
Why not answer the same as our great contestants? Oh no!
What is your answer, Ringo?

**Ringo**
Because I've never heard such a joke before
There's no answer I could write, so I wrote,
"A Hard Day's Night"!

**John Lennon**
Oh, Mel, oh, oh, Mel
Have I made a match for you!
This Bob guy, he bit
the man whose name is George
But it's a good match, a good match, true?
True.

**Paul Lynde**
My answer isn't crappy
I match I give to you
He bit the guy, yeah yeah---
Don't ask me why

**Rip Taylor**
Here is my answer
I sure hope it doesn't bite
It's nothing like yours
But it will bust your side
Bob had kicked him, a good match, right?
Wrong!

**Gene Rayburn**
Jane gets the other question
The points you need are five
Don't get those points, it's over
Oh, what a night!

Have you ever heard of Prince?
Well, he loves to change his name
He was known as the artist, then he went back to Prince
He changed his name to --blank--!

**Contestant**
Match Gamer, Match Gamer
Your answers suck
Mine are the best
You're out of luck

**Gene**
Now a commercial
Me must take a break
Now, what must our sponsors say?

--Commercial break--

We're back now
Time for the answers
Remember
The points you need are five
If not that
You'll lose in an instant

Someone needs to win this game!
