Match Game was the TV game show that defined the 1970s,
with ribald jokes, tacky fashions, and guest appearances by
the decade's top television stars. It was also the TV show that
defined its host, Gene Rayburn. Generations of game show
watchers will instantly recognize Rayburn--the toothy grin and
the comically long, thin microphone that he clutched while
reading suggestive fill-in-the-blanks to be answered by
panelists like Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly.But the
book The Matchless Gene Rayburn, by Adam Nedeff
(Quizmaster: The Life &ampTimes &ampFun &ampGames of
Bill Cullen, This Day in Game Show History) delves into
Rayburn's life before the classic show, from his popular and
influential morning radio show--one interviewee called Rayburn
The Howard Stern of the 1940s--to his role in launching The
Tonight Show. Rayburn also amassed an impressive

resum&#232in theater, including Bye Bye Birdie and La Cage
Aux Folles.In addition, The Matchless Gene Rayburn explores
Rayburn's life away from the cameras, including his fractious
relationships with Match Game panelist Richard Dawson and
game show kingpin Mark Goodson, as well as his struggles
finding employment after Match Game ended.Among the
interviewees that author Nedeff spoke to for the book were
Match Game panelists Orson Bean &ampDick Gautier,
Hollywood Squares host Peter Marshall, animal trainer Warren
Eckstein (The Mickey Mouse Club), and Rayburn 's daughter
Lynne. All paint a portrait of Gene as a complicated man torn
by the success he enjoyed in television, and the frustration he
felt about not getting the roles he truly wanted or the respect
he felt he was owed.
