There were four living regular MTM show cast members a year ago too(Leachman, Asner, Macleod, WHite). Buzzr will still do their tribute to Betty next month. I wonder if GSN will even mention her passing? They got away without doing it for Regis or Tom Kennedy last year, perhaps they could pick two weeks of MG7x they have the rights to air as a Betty tribute.

What a way to close out 2021 in the world of game shows. Died on New Year's Eve of all days, let alone several weeks prior to her milestone.
I bet Buzzr, GSN and maybe even GameTV will likely do a tribute to Betty White in the foreseeable future. Perhaps on a weekend, a marathon of her "Match Game" appearances, to say the least. It looks like all of the cast members from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" are no longer with us. Regarding the Magnificent MCs vs. Heavenly Hosts week of Dawson's Feud, I know Bob Eubanks is one of the three celebrities still with us. Who are the other two?

Peter Marshall and Leslie Uggams are the other show 1983 Feud game show host celebs still alive. All the regular MTM cast members are gone, and Asner, White, Leachman, and Macleod died in 2021.

That's actually pretty sad, considering she was one of my favorite game show people of all time.

She made two other appearances on Family Feud: The 2nd Battle of the Perfect 10's (March 1, 1984), and an appearance during the 1994-1995 Season against Carol Burnett.

Arlene Dahl and Betty WHite were until a few weeks ago the last two living members of those weeks of shows, but they're both gone now.

This hit me hard as I was a huge fan of hers growing up watching the $25,000 Pyramid and Super Password then moved on to The Golden Girls when I'd watch that with my grandmother as my grandfather couldn't stand the show. It wasn't until 1998 when we got GSN that I was able to see her on other game shows like Match Game and Body Language. Then we had the hit show Hot in Cleveland that I almost saw the entire series with her. I almost got to see a taping of the show but they shut down the doors when we arrived. I can't remember the reason behind it. Betty was an absolute gem and was so good on late night talk shows like David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, and Craig Ferguson. I just wish she could have had her 100th birthday with the party and all and then pass on peacefully. We will miss her so very much but her legacy will live forever.

I assume gsn isn't going to forgo 24 hours of Harvey unfamily feud or originals that have been on this decade for a tribute.

You'd think if the first lady of tv had a stroke, the media would be all over it.
