Edit: This is long enough to be a full post by now. It’s being reported in a few places that the host of Match Game is former Mad-TV cast member and panelist of Comedy Central’s CrossBalls, Andy Daly, is the host. We’re waiting for official confirmation because this comes from a post on this forum, but it looks to be pretty set. Andy’s a very fun person and was one of the few (very few) spots of light on the Mad TV cast, so I think he can definitely handle this. Plus he’s really funny. And that’s, you know, kinda needed for a comedy show.
An audience casting notice for either a pilot or a regular taping of Match Game has appeared, and two of the featured celebrities are listed on it. The first two are actors/comedians Sarah Silverman and Norm Macdonald. Already they have me incredibly interested. They got people they need to get: really funny comedians and actors who are great at improv and can go “out there” while keeping it within limits and needed. They could use more people like these two. Plus they are pretty big celebrities as well which can’t hurt. Still no word on host and the thing tapes on Thursday which is a bit alarming.
