In 1973, Brett became a popular panelist on the television game show, “The Match Game.” The Match Game (in its original version) ran on NBC’s daytime lineup from 1962-1969. The show returned in 1973 with a significantly changed format on CBS (also in daytime). “The Match Game” became a major success, with an expanded panel, larger cash payouts, and emphasis on humor and innuendo. Brett sat in the back row next to Charles Nelson Reilly. The repertoire between the two was quite amusing. “The Match Game” ran from 1973-1979. Today’s audiences enjoy its reruns on The Game Show Network.
