Patti Deutsch (born December 16, 1945 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is a comic actress who was a frequent panelist on Match Game. More often than not, her answers would not wind up matching the contestants' answers. She was best known, however, for her wry and somewhat outlandish answers to questions. For example: "John said, 'Instead of sleeping in bed tonight, I think I'll sleep on the (blank)'"; the contestant's answer was "floor", while Patti answered "A red moth-eaten sofa that was rejected from the homeless shelter". Patti Deutsch thus became a fixture in the challenging "number-six seat," so called by the panelists because it was tough to come up with something clever after five panelists had their chance. Episodes of Match Game featuring Deutsch continue to air on GSN. Patti appeared as a guest on the new GSN program GSN Live on March 7th, 2008
