2007 continued to be a cruel year to game show fans with the passing of yet another legend -- Brett Somers died today at 83. It is a tragic albeit someone poetic point that she passes just a few months after Charles Nelson Reilly, her frequent sparring partner on Match Game. Outside of Match Game Brett made few game show appearances, but she did appear on a few weeks of Match Game '90 on ABC as well as a hilarious week on Game Show Hosts week on Hollywood Squares a few years back. Known more for her ability to generate laughs than accurately match, Brett was a frequent (but willing) punch line for Charles and to a lesser extent Betty White. She will be missed.
