I want to compile a question book for my 1st-edition MG box game containing the type of questions the show has become famous for (and the type that's found in later, rarer versions of the box game). Google has been no help. Can anyone help me out? It would be very, VERY much appreciated.

Dick DeBartolo, who was one of the writers on the show, has a website with a number of examples of questions used on the show. He also sells the original question cards at a reasonable price. Check Google and type in Dick DeBartolo for the url.

For a collectible? Maybe. For content? Um, no.

Here are a few:
[font=\"Comic Sans MS\"]Craig is so dense, even ______ can't escape his gravitational pull.
Have you heard Erik's latest song? It's called "I ______ for Care Bears."
Zach wowed another bunch of game show fans. He was the only one who knew that Paul Lynde ______ed Wally Cox 83 times.
Didja hear? Michael Tiller has a new game show video on YouTube. Only instead of pictures, the female contestants are ______s wearing his mom's clothes.

I would imagine that if it's important to you, it probably wouldn't be too hard to harvest them from GSN episodes, YouTube clips and what have you.

Erm, well, no. It certainly didn't work for Match Game '98. Having been a Match Game producer for a day, writing questions which fit the show is an elusive skill.

At least most Bill Clinton jokes are irrelevant in this day and age.
