So I know the most regular panelists are no longer with us (Bret, CNR and Richard) but out of the panelist on the show who is still alive? I have been watching this on Buzzr a lot lately and it has me wondering.
The two most notable semi regulars living as of November 2015 would be Fannie and of course the timeless Betty White. Vicki Lawrence and Penny Marshall also make the list but were much less regulars. Who am I missing???
Just judging from the list of people on IMDb, the people who were on for at least 10 episodes, that are still alive (besides the one you mentioned) are
Ann Elder
Loretta Swift
Gary Burghoff
Jo Ann Pflug
Patti Deutsch
Joyce Bulifant
Elaine Joyce
Jimmie Walker
Della Reese
Adrienne Barbeau
Bart Braverman
Also still alive, though not necessarily very frequent panelists:
William Shatner
Bob Barker
Ed Asner
Robert Vaughn
June Lockhart
Jamie Lee Curtis
Valerie Bertinelli
Lee Meriwether
Suzanne Somers
Loni Anderson
Bill Daily
Arte Johnson
Robert Pine
Dick Smothers
George Kennedy
Guich Koock
Anita Gillette
Richard Thomas
Pat Harrington
Nanette Fabray
Nancy Dussault
Rip Taylor
Rosey Grier
Donna Mills
...and probably many more.
Barbara Rhoades was on many episodes as a panelist.
She was the best looking.
Well...Loni Anderson was on a few episodes.
Dick Martin's wife, Playboy playmate Dolly Martin.
Only appeared for one week, I believe (unfortunate, because I thought he was surprisingly good), but baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Don Sutton is still alive.
(Edit: IMDb actually lists him as only appearing on one episode of the PM version, thought he did the day version too but could be wrong.)
In the same vein, fellow baseball player Joe Garagiola is still alive as well. Although he's almost 90!
He also holds the distinction of appearing on both the original Match Game in the 60s, and the better-known 70s version.
Joe has since died.
I saw a few episodes with Don Sutton this past week. Very good and somewhat entertaining.
Agreed--Don Sutton was an awesome panelist!
