I'm just wondering if those were custom made for Gene because I've never seen anything like it anywhere else.
Damn, I'm good.

Bert Convy used one that was very similar to it on "Tattletales". I"m not sure if it was quite as long as Gene's, though.

Thanx.
Wasn't TT also on the same network or same producers as MG?
Damn, I'm good.

Same network, same producers, same people working behind the scenes. Have you ever noticed how many guest celebrities from "Match Game" found their way over to "Tattletales" and vice versa?
ETA: I just turned on "Tattletales" on BUZZR and looked at Bert's microphone up close. It appears that it is adjustable, as in, it could be telescoped out to be really long like Gene's or shorter, like Bert seems to have preferred it. Probably the exact same model, though I doubt if it's the same mic.
And now, you know the REST of the storylol.

Thank your for the trivia and responding.
I'm guessing those mics were custom made for those shows because I've never seen them anywhere else.
I think they are really neat looking.
Damn, I'm good.
