Scott Thompson and Sarah Silverman to bring their comedic stylings to the new "Match Game"

As we told you back in February, a new edition of the classic 70's game show Match Game is in the works, and now the panelists have been set.

Comprising the new cast for the upcoming pilot are comedian Norm McDonald, Super Dave Osbourne, Rashida Jones (from The Office), Niecy Nash (from Reno 911) and best of all, out comedian Scott Thompson and gay-adjacent comic Sarah Silverman.

Earlier this month, we blogged about the new versions of classic game shows about to hit the air, and I suggested that if they remade Match Game, they should consider Carson Kressley and Kathy Griffin to replace the 70's Will & Grace style dynamic duo of Bret Sommers and Charles Nelson Reilly. Well, I was close. Just think of Sarah and Scott as the Earth-Two version of Kathy and Carson.

It'll be interesting to see if Sarah's humour (which is an acquired taste) will translate to a game show format, and if she and Scott will be given a chance to form their own Bret & Charles-style rapport.
