They’ve been playing the Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour (MGHSH) from around ‘83, and Gene Rayburn and Jon Bauman just seethe with hatred for Reagan. That coward Fred Grandy even got in on the act when they asked him who earned more—Ronald Reagan or a chimp on a show called Mr. Smith that the MGHSH was heavily promoting—and Grandy said, “Reagan’s been a chimp a long time.”

Of course, Nixon bashing was all the rage on the ‘70s version of the Match Game. And they had a contestant who said she worked for a congressman, and Brett said, “Before I give my answer, do you work for a Republican or a Democrat?” When she said Democrat, Brett lit up and said, “Well, then we match!”

Bauman’s nephew is currently head of the California Democrat party. 🤮

I miss the days, when we had guys like Mark Russell, who could be even-handed in their mockery of the two parties.
