Match Game Panelists

[lnx64]

I heard a rumor, long ago when I was in middle school (so I already am taking it with a grain of salt) that a lot of the panelists were high, including maybe even Gene.

Well, turns out they did drink Vodka on set that I know of, and Gene has occasionally forgot what he was going to say then cut to commercials. So I have to wonder, is it true? I tried to do some research on both Google and Bing but didn't really find much of an answer on this.
