Game Time: Butch Hartman on The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour (1984)

 We've seen animation and comics legends such as Stan Lee and Chuck Jones appear on To Tell The Truth. As The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour begins 1984, a future animation legend appears as a contestant.

Butch Hartman was just 19, a college student, when he appeared on the show, which aired on January 3, but taped a couple of weeks prior. Mind you, this was a few years before he began working for Cartoon Network and, later, more famously, Nickelodeon. 

I think this is why Butch would later use game show motifs in his cartoons (i.e. Fairly OddParents).

How no one thought to think of Fat Albert as an answer to that Dumb Donald question, I'll never know.
