You can imagine Phil and Jack responding in character to that video clip!

Phil would wonder why there were two other names.

A bit off topic...
But did you notice the similarity between that special game segment of The Match Game, that was later used as the formula for 'Family Fued'?

There's a direct relationship. Mark Goodson (or someone working for him) took the fact Richard Dawson was constantly called upon for the Super Match, spun a whole new game show around it and sold it to ABC.

My fuzzy memory recalls the Match Game having a question that went Jack ________. One of the answers was "Jack Be Nimble" but I can't remember if Benny was among them.

Amazing the stuff that pops out of your memory after more than 30 years.

I can:

"Well, hoist one high, and down the hatch,
'Cause Philsey here has MADE the MATCH!"
