Match Game returning to ABC?

Selena Gomez posted a few on-set selfies to her IG. Set looks a little smaller, but mostly appears the same.

The complete roster of celebrities have been announced:

I had hoped that Martin Short would be able to call in favors from his really famous friends.  Aside from Selena and other OMITB castmates (but not Steve Martin), the only other celebrity with a connection to Short seems to be his old SCTV pal Andrea Martin.

That list claims Andrea Martin appeared on the 70s version, and I'm intrigued for dubious reasons. That's news to me.

Voiceover: It was false.

Okay so I wasn't going crazy*. Good to know.

Selena Gomez is a pretty solid get. I doubt Steve Martin would do the show; he hasn’t done a game show since the Marshall version of Hollywood Squares in 1977.

It would have been nice to see Maya Rudolph, but she’s not on the list. Most of the people with whom he did SNL wouldn’t be worth putting on today, except maybe Billy Crystal (EDIT: and Julia Louis-Dreyfus).

With this being in Canada, I wonder if Martin could pull a few SCTV names to the show? I dunno if Eugene Levy or Catherine O’Hara would be considered “too big” with Schitt’s Creek becoming so big in recent years.

You'd never get them all to do it, but it is theoretically possible to fill all six chairs with SCTV alum.

As much as I loved SCTV—and still do—the cast is at their best doing characters and impressions, not sitting somewhere being funny as themselves how, say, Bill Murray is. I hope the questions give Marty Short characters to play with as Gene Rayburn did.

Alec wore one even though he carried the stick mic.
