Was Mr. Reyburn a child star in film? Perhaps I misunderstood this, but I was watching an episode of Match Game once, and an old timer appeared on the show as a contestant, surprising everyone by saying that Mr. Rayburn was once a child star (say, therefore, back in the 1930s). Gene thanked the man for remembering him. (John G. Lewis (talk) 19:13, 19 December 2019 (UTC))

Addl info

https://www.houseofnames.com/rayburn-family-crest also mentions his name derived from his stepfather, his Croat ancestry, and his military service in WW2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C2:4E02:9580:888B:2B58:1914:5BA5 (talk) 17:15, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

== Video giving his 'real' name. This video of Match Game 74, time 14: 58 indicates his real name is Rebussa saying he picked Rayburn from a phone book for radio WNEW New York and he pronounces it at time 15:15.

Nipple slip

In a 1970s Match Game episode, Gene complimented a female contestant on her "pretty nipples," then quickly corrected to "dimples." This scene was cut from the original airing of the show but reappears now and then on Game Show Moments broadcasts/compilations. The slip is mentioned as fact on https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0713073/trivia/ and posted on YouTube as TmPB0MSZ5t0 [Wikipedia does not accept YT as a source, but there it sits]. 75.144.22.161 (talk) 03:09, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
