Match Game returning to ABC?
tvwxman:
I love Martin Short.
That said, I'm not sure I see him playing the straight man to the comedians on the panel.
That said - I think it's a good hire nonetheless.
BrandonFG:
I'm not against the hire if Martin doesn't upstage everyone as he's done on other shows. I don't see this being the type of role where he goes into manic Jiminy Glick mode, but you never know.

Visions of Jackie Rogers Jr. and a new "contestant interactive" star wheel went through my mind when I heard the news.
