If you love The Match Game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_Game), you're sure to get a kick out of Match Game Memories (http://odtv.me/2009/03/29/match-game-memories/) with Leo Laporte & Dick DeBartolo.

This is a raw recording of the 90 minute program (~145 MB .mp4) they recorded last Sunday night. Because it's unedited, there's about 5-10 minutes of organizational stuff at the beginning. Please bear with it though, the crunchy stuff is worth sifting through the dross.

Dick was the writer of Match Game for 17 years. He is also the person responsible for turning the boring original 60s version into the hilarious version we all knew and loved in the 70s and 80s. As you might expect, Dick has a wealth of information about the show and he loves sharing it.

If you're really into Match Game, you may want a piece of the show's history. As detailed in the video, Dick saved a lot of the cards he wrote the original questions on. He's now selling the original cards, not reproductions, to fans. For 35 bucks (after shipping) you'll get three questions in a plastic sleeve and an autographed copy of Mad Magazine. (Dick has written for Mad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_magazine) pretty much forever.)
