Match Game Poll

[Sgt. Saunders]

I read that frequent “Match Game” celebrity panelists Elaine Joyce would often laugh sarcastically if a contestant gave a poor response. While Richard Dawson puffed away openly on a cigarette in the show, Elaine Joyce apparently tried to sneak a few puffs on a cigarette during commercials, but she once got caught with the butt in her mouth as they came back from a commercial.

And, I’ve heard that the wry and down-to-earth Brett Somers disliked Elaine Joyce’s cute, dumb blond schtick on the show.

Yes, in a bonus track on my Match Game CD's Brett mentioned she disliked Elaine Joyce but never explained why. And there was one time I saw Elaine smoking.
