Baldwin replaced as host of TV’s ‘Match Game’

Martin Short will replace Alec Baldwin on the classic game show “Match Game,” ABC announced Tuesday. A premiere date for the revival will be named later.

Short is an Emmy-winning actor with more than 100 movie and TV credits, including “Only Murders in the Building.”

“Match Game,” based on the original ‘60s and ‘70s game show hosted by Gene Rayburn, features contestants attempting to fill in the blank of a sentence and match answers chosen by celebrity guests.
