He married one of those contestants.
Nice!
P.S. When will the Whose Line cast accuse Colin Mocherie of harassing them during the Party Quirks skit where he touched everyone inappropriately?
Someone needs to switch in Bidden on that show in place of Dawson.
I'm a guy and I felt uncomfortable and it spoiled the show for me.
Died 5 years ago: Richard Dawson passed away on June 2, 2012, at 79.
Also - watch Dawson in "The Running Man." Greatest 2nd supporting acting role that didn't win an Oscar after Val Kilmer's "Tombstone" role.
If you see the movie about Bob Crane, you will learn her really was a supreme pervert. He helped lead Crane down the path to perdition. You never want a friend like Dawson.
Haha, good one.
Joe Biden should do a Show like that on Nickelodeon.
How about Colonel Robert Hogan and every female co-star?
Richard Dawson was an amazing fellow. Perhaps no one else became so beloved on two different game shows: Match Game and Family Feud.
There was a pretty good documentary about Match Game some years ago. Now available on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkkxJ4zn3qY
Dawson took the show very personally and wanted to win as much money of the contestants as possible. He knew they were often everyday people who good really use cash. He took it so personally - and was so driven to succeed on the show - that several memorable meltdowns occurred: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmJXaNasQ84
Richard Dawson discusses meeting his wife on Family Feud -EMMYTVLEGENDS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0omZ72KieM
And here’s Dawson’s wife from when she first appeared on the show and a later appearance with their daughter (perhaps Dawson’s last appearance?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuudDLU5NfY She was a pretty later. I can see why he was interested in her.
I suspect that Dawson was a raging alcoholic. I met him once at an advertising association affair around 1980. The group had loads of money and brought Dawson in to do a special version of the game for all the local advertising/PR freaks. Before his act was due on stage, I went to the men’s room and there was Dawson stumbling at a urinal. Half his pee missed the porcelain. When I tried to engage him in conversation, he told me to “f*ck off”. He stunk of whiskey. Canadian, no doubt. A real prick of the first order.
