GSN Schedules a Dick Martin Tribute
As many of you may know, on May 24th actor, comedian, and frequent game show panelist Dick Martin died at the age of 86. Quick to respond, GSN has schedule a small marathon for the popular panelist during its GSN Live block. On Monday, June 2nd, from 12:00PM ET to 3:00PM ET, shows featuring the late Dick Martin will be shown. The schedule of regular shows will not be changed, but any shows involving celebrities will feature Martin.
At noon, Super Password features Dick Martin with his wife Dolly Reed, along with Bob Newhart and his wife Ginnie. Family Feud at 12:30PM ET also features Martin. He will be featured Match Game as well as the 2:30PM ET Password Plus.
I certainly hope the France/French episode of Password+ is shown.
Which of the two Newharts & Martins week will GSN show for this small marathon? The one from 1986, or the one from 1988?
Too bad GSN won’t show any of his many appearances on “Tattletales” with the love of his life Dolly – that would have really ‘sealed the deal!’
Dick Martin, to me, was one of the funniest guys on television. He always cracked me up. He will be missed! I’m glad GSN is doing some kinda of tribute.
What, no Mindreaders?! ;)
Oh well, a very nice tribute nonetheless, we miss you Dick!
good. im glad GSN is doing this, the man is a TV legend who deserved his dues.
Goodnight Dick, and godspeed.
Indeed, GSN ought to run at least one ep of “Mindreaders” (to the best of my knowledge, the only show he hosted). Certainly wasn’t a huge hit — but it was a Goodson/Todman production and, therefore, should be somewhere in the GSN vault.
