- Please. - How polite. - Thank you. - Farmer Fred
said, my dog Susie used to jump up and catch
a frisbee in her mouth. But she ran away. So I taught my blank to
catch a Frisbee in her mouth. [music playing] I used to love
Fang, by the way. - Well, you'll always be
OK if it's nice weather and you have a roof
over your mouth. - Here we have our answers. Just explain them to her. All right. Robin, Farmer Fred
said, my dog Susie used to jump up and catch
a frisbee in her mouth. But she ran away,
so I taught my-- - Wife. - Wife to jump up and catch
a frisbee in her mouth. [cheering, applause]

ran away and doesn't catch it in her mouth anymore. So now I have my spouse, Ethel. - My spouse, Ethel. That's a match. - His wife, Charlene. - This guy gets around. - Yeah. He does get around, doesn't he? - He gets around, this guy.

hands off his wife? - Farm hands.
Wait a minute. Let me explain.
- Wait, wait, wait. Soupy wants to
explain something. - Couldn't keep his-- farmer couldn't keep his

good time here. Join us. - All right. - OK. - We're having a good time.

Wasn't it? - The football
coach said, Wendell is the wimpiest player I got. - How wimpy is he? - He's so wimpy, he's afraid
to tackle the other players, so he only tackles t

He
's smart. - He's a smart guy. This is amazing. Something's gone astray here. I can't believe it. There's nothing but
matches everywhere on the "Match Game." - Look at that. You're coming out
red hot, Jimmie. Sally? - Well, I assumed that a
wimp would be too wimpy to go near the women, so I
said he only pounces on the waterboy persons. [buzzer] - The water boy persons. No match. Sorry. Charles? He only tackles the-- - Were you a regular on
the "Soupy Sales Show" in the mid-'60s? - Wrong show. You
're so silly. No, I was going to be
a mystery guest, right? And I met him in New York. By chance he said, hi, what
brings you to New York? I said, I'm going to
be the mystery guest. I'm-- oh. So it's a very
interesting story, and I know that it will
be savored years after. Cheerleader. [cheering, applause] - It can be savored
years after. Oh, children will be

- Bill. - Bill.
- Bill. - Yeah. Why did I say Chuck?
- I don't know. I think you were
thinking of Charles. - Yeah. Well, Bill, we have some--
because I have property. - You should take better notes. I mean, we just can't go in
front of the camera like this. [laughter] - Anyway, as I was saying
very unfunnily that I have property in Washington. The Hilton Hotel is
h
olding two of my bags. I said cheerleader. - Cheerleader. [cheering, applause] Andi? - Ross, you know, every day

until I'm stopped. I'm a mad man. - Sally? - Well, I was going to say that
they were just going to land in a little container
of maybe chopped liver, but instead I decided
to go with coleslaw. [ding] [cheering, applause] - Oh, Charles? - Oh, I just was looking at the
water at this time of the day. It's so beautiful. [laughter] - Had to
land in a
giant container of what? - Chopped liver. - Chopped liver. - Aww. - Chopped liver. - Well, it's more interesting-- - Pam, when I pole

he would have landed in a big old vat of ox tongue. - Ox tongue?
- Yeah. But he didn't. He landed in some tater salad. - In some tater salad. All right, Soupy. What did you have? - I went to a
delicatessen last night
, and I asked a waiter what
the catch of the day was, and he said fish sticks. So I said sour cream. - Sour cream. Andi? - This is another white thing. I said mayo. - In a mayo container. - What did she say? - Well, we've got
a high score here, and it's still pretty
close now, Bill with $500 and Robin with $600. Let's play Final Match-up now. Whoever's ahead at
