![]() ![]() Rayburn never moved to the west coast and his home remained back east. by Anonymousīret lived in Encino, quite close to the motel/hotel that Rayburn always stayed during tapings. I think he was hoping there would be complaints and they'd let him go early. He came in, did his job and the only people he was civil to were the contestants. So Richard stayed until the bitter end, but he was very nasty and unfriendly and stopped cracking jokes or participating. But the producers were not going to let him go until his contract was up because they now had the biggest thing in game shows on their own show. He had already begun Family Feud, which became a massive hit, and wanted to leave Match Game. ![]() ![]() I think people had been writing in asking if they were in a feud.Īs for Richard's behavior, it wasn't Gene he was mad at, it was the producers who would not let him out of his contract. ![]() it was so noticeable that Gene actually mentioned it on the air. Well, Charles stopped clapping for him well before that. I notice towards the end Richard didn't clap when Gene was introduced as "Star" of the show. Gene Rayburn and Richard Dawson both seemed like that had massive egos and were major assholes. ![]()
