‘Match Game’: Martin Short Reveals Why He Said Yes to Hosting the Game Show

It’s a Match made in heaven! Playful Emmy, Tony, and SAG Award-winning comedy king Martin Short is lending his unbridled, often offhand hilarity to ABC‘s latest reboot of Match Game.
Taking over as host following Alec Baldwin‘s five-season run from 2016 to 2021, Short is set to oversee a season filled with top-notch celebrity guests, including his Only Murders in the Building podcast partner Selena Gomez, trying to match the answers of contestants playing for piles of cash. Here, he gives us his take on this primetime update on the boozy TV chestnut.
You just wrapped Season 5 of Only Murders and jumped straight into this, right?
Martin Short: The hustle is real. I know! It’s real and maybe pathetic, but that’s me. [Laughs]
Selena is one of the guests you have coming in, but no Steve Martin? Is he too good for game shows?…
