Thanks for the Laughs, Richard, rest in peace.

He gave us some good laughs on "Match Game".
In this clip he totally blanks and gives a classically dumb answer.

RIP Mr. Dawson.

RIP Mr. Dawson.

You think that as an Englishman, he would have remembered "trench warfare."

This is arguably the funniest moment in game show history. The best moment is at 2:24.

Here, Richard is (justly) abusive to a contestant giving arguably stupidest answers in Family Feud history.

And then there's this family. I stand corrected.

RIP, Richard. Thank you for all the laughs.
