Patti Deutsch
Patricia "Patti" Deutsch (born December 16, 1945 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is a voice artist and comedic actress. In the 1970s she was a frequent panelist on Match Game.
Match Game
Deutsch was a regular celebrity panelist on Match Game. Her answers could be very bizarre (e.g., "A red moth eaten sofa that was rejected by the homeless shelter"), and would rarely match. She became a fixture in the number six seat. Episodes of Match Game featuring Deutsch continue to air on GSN and Buzzr, a digital subchannel. Deutsch also appeared as a guest on the new GSN interstitial program GSN Live on March 7, 2008. On the 2009 GSN Game Show Awards, Deutsch, along with frequent panelists Joyce Bulifant and Nancy Dussault accepted an award on behalf of Match Game.
Voice and television work
In the 1980s, Deutsch did voice-over work on Hanna Barbera's The Smurfs and Capitol Critters cartoon series. She also provided the voice for "Mrs. Dave," the mother of "Dr. Dave" on the popular Nickelodeon cartoon, As Told by Ginger. During the early years of the show The Electric Company, she did some voice work for some of the vignette cartoons alongside actor and show writer Paul Dooley. Her recent work includes Monsters, Inc. and The Emperor's New Groove.
