PRESS RELEASE:
Motivational Speaker TShane Johnson was asked to provide a pitch video for the legendary long running game show Match Game.

weren't really sure what the producers of Match Game expected so we
just decided to have fun with it. I hope they enjoy it as much as we
enjoyed putting it together."

Match Game premiered on NBC in 1962 and was revived several times over the course of the next few decades. The game featured contestants trying to come up with answers to fill-in-the-blank questions, with the object being to match answers given by celebrity panelists.
The Match Game in its original version ran on NBC's daytime lineup from 1962 until 1969. The show returned with a significantly changed format in 1973 on CBS (also in daytime) and became a major success, with an expanded panel, larger cash payouts, and emphasis on humor.
The series was a production of Mark Goodson/Bill Todman Productions, along with its successor companies, and has been franchised around the world.
In 2013, TV Guide ranked the 1973–79 CBS version of Match Game as No. 4 on its list of the 60 greatest game shows ever.
