Match Game: ABC Orders Season Three & Makes New Deal with Alec Baldwin

by Trevor Kimball, August 6, 2017

Match Game TV show on ABC: season threeThe alphabet network wants to fill in a (blank) spot on their schedule. ABC has renewed their revival of the Match Game TV show for a third season. In addition, ABC Studios has signed a new first-look deal with host Alec Baldwin.

Here’s the press release:

ALEC BALDWIN RETURNS FOR SEASON THREE OF ABC’S HIT GAME SHOW ‘MATCH GAME’ AND SIGNS FIRST-LOOK DEAL WITH ABC STUDIOS

Roll out the shag carpet… ABC announced today that it is picking up season three of its hit game show “Match Game,” with host Alec Baldwin. Additionally, Baldwin’s company, El Dorado Pictures, has inked a two-year first-look deal with ABC Studios.

“Alec’s quick wit, charm and star power set the stage for an unadulterated and can’t-miss hour of television each week on ‘Match Game,'” said Channing Dungey, president, ABC Entertainment. “The series is an integral part of ABC ‘Fun & Games,’ and I’m glad to have it and Alec back.”

Under its new agreement, El Dorado Pictures will develop scripted and unscripted projects under the ABC Studios banner. The production company’s development executive, Mallory Schwartz, will oversee the slate which Baldwin will executive produce.

“Alec Baldwin is one of the most prolific, creative people in the entertainment industry,” said Patrick Moran, president, ABC Studios. “We’re looking forward to channeling that creativity for our studio.”

Match Game is produced by FremantleMedia North America (FMNA) with Alec Baldwin, FMNA’s Jennifer Mullin, Scott St. John and Mallory Schwartz as executive producers. “Match Game” garnered Baldwin a 2017 Emmy(R) nomination for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program.

Today, ABC also renewed Celebrity Family Feud and The $100,000 Pyramid for next season.

The current “Match Game” is vulgar and offensive! The 1970s version hinted at double-meaning questions and answers, while Alec Baldwin openly uses the word “*****”, “******”, and panelists routinely swear. I will NOT be watching! ABC can take the new “Match Game” and shove it up their blank!

So glad they renewed Match Game. It is the best of the revived game shows and I am relieved it was not cancelled. Alec should have a special show with all his brothers and his wife and daughter. That would be a hoot!

Have to agree with you DIA. It is so sickening with all the Jabs at President Trump. I don’t watch the show since Rosy O.
