The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Drinking Game
JMFabiano:
Add a half gulp if Jon starts talking like Bowzer. Bonus sip if it's to Eddie Mekka.
Sip every time Gene acts fake impressed when Jon says "later on I'll be hosting/handling Hollywood Squares."
Seen a lot the second week, but a sip every time a celebrity's name plate turns on or off accidentally.
Gulp every time Gene talks about a panelist's wardrobe.
Gulp every time Bauman talks about the show on Twitter. Another half if he mentions that his was the only completely honest HS. Another half if he goes back on defending the show that way by saying it didn't quite work.
Gulp for every Liz Taylor fat joke question. One sip per panelist who starts their response with a "Sorry Liz, but..." or "I love you Liz, but..." statement.
Gulp for every President Reagan question. Extra sip if they get someone on the panel to do the Reagan voice. Extra sip if it's Fred Travalena.
Sip per panelist who's only there because they were on a show on the NBC schedule.
Sip per extra "Seat 4" type sexy actress/model on the panel. (the first one is free as every MG panel had one. Every one thereafter earns a sip).
Take a sip when a Squares panelist does the polar opposite of schtick and just blurts out the answer. Extra sip if it's Shannon Tweed or someone who had a ST attitude when this happens; you know, like, "The answer is X, go away" pretty much.
Gulp every time the Head to Head or Audience Match answer(s) are hardcore eighties stuff. (one ep. from week one, for instance, had Knight Rider and Flashdance as AM/H2H answers respectively)
Gulp if Gene or Jon point out someone used to be a regular on the original MG and/or HS.
Tap a keg if someone ever mentions Peter Marshall.

Gene was less than subtle Friday about his disapproval of Lydia Cornell's angora sweater (I suspect she isn't happy about that choice in retrospect, either).
One thing I've noticed - since we know the taping schedule was different here than the 1970s Match Game (e.g. no dinner break with alcohol served), there's less silliness in the later in the week shows. Does anybody know if there was a dinner break during the Saturday taping, which according to this thread ran from 3 to 9 PM?

What made those questions rather silly at that point was that Liz had lost all the weight and was looking her best again.

A shot of Jack D. or Jim B. for each time Jon starts a HS question with, "You are a/an _________.. "

While you are correct that the host is in fact the master of ceremonies being able to conduct business without coming off as rude is a skill that is developed and not just innate.
