#SnatchGame: Caitlyn Jenner Was on “Match Game” & Won a Contestant $25,000!

When I saw the celebrity panel of an episode of the new Match Game, hosted by Alec Baldwin, I’ll admit, I got a little nervous about one of the panelists. This wasn’t Snatch Game, kids.

Guests were Chris Parnell, Whitney Cummings, Kevin Smith, Jane Krakowski, Ron Funches AND Caitlyn Jenner!

Caitlyn was relaxed and funny and when Nikki won the first round, the clue to match was ________ TEN. We had HANG TEN, PERFECT TEN and then Caitlyn’s answer was TOP TEN. And Nikki chose her answer and won the top amount, $5000.

Then it came time to match a celeb head-to-head, Nikki picked Caitlyn and had to match exactly, DOWN TO ______. (I thought of Joni Mitchell‘s Down To You) but Nikki said EARTH. And Caitlyn stalled and asked again what she was going to do with that $25,000 (she wanted to buy a house she could live in with her aging parents…)

Caitlyn said,

“Well, I think you can do that!“
