Martin Short to Host ‘Match Game’ Revival on ABC


Martin Short is set to host a 'Match Game' revival on ABC, which previously aired an edition hosted by Alec Baldwin.

Martin Short is expanding his relationship with Disney, signing on to host a revival of the famed gamer “ Match Game.” The end of Baldwin’s “Match Game” came in the wake of his accidental shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the independent production “Rust” the previous fall. But the show’s wrap was not related to that incident, since “Match Game” hadn’t been in production since 2020, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic — and only aired two new episodes in 2021, which had been left over from the previous year.
