In 1983, producer [[Mark Goodson]] teamed up with [[Orion Pictures|Orion Television]] (who had recently acquired the rights to ''[[Hollywood Squares]]'') and [[NBC]] to create ''The [[Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour]]''. Rayburn, after a year as a morning show host in New York, agreed to return as host. However, few of the regular ''Squares'' cast appeared on this version. [[Jon Bauman]] ([[Sha Na Na]]) was tapped to host the ''Hollywood Squares'' segment of the game and he and Rayburn swapped seats while the other hosted his portion of the show. The primary announcer was [[Gene Wood]], with Johnny Olson, [[Bob Hilton]], and [[Rich Jeffries]] substituting.

These rules were roughly the same as those of ''Match Game PM'' with both contestants given three chances apiece to match each panelist once. The lone noticeable difference was in the tie-breaker. Played similarly to the Super Match, four answers to a statement were secretly shown to the contestants (e.g., "_____, New Jersey", with the choices of "Atlantic City", "Hoboken", "Newark" and "Trenton"). They each chose one by number. Then, as was the case in ''Match Game PM'', the host polled the celebrities for verbal responses, and the first panelist to give an answer selected by one of the contestants won the game for that contestant. The winner of the ''Match Game'' segment played the returning champion in the ''[[Hollywood Squares]]'' segment with the eventual winner of ''Squares'' playing the Super Match.

In the Super Match, the audience match featured payoffs of $1,000, $500, and $250. If a contestant did not make an audience match, the game did not end, but the contestant was given $100 and the game continued to the head-to-head match.

For the head-to-head match, the game reverted to the contestant picking the celebrity, and each celebrity had a hidden multiplier (10, 20, 30). The audience match winnings were multiplied by the hidden number to determine the Super Match jackpot for the head-to-head match, with the maximum amount available being $30,000. Champions remained on the program for up to five days unless defeated.

''The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour'' ran from October 31, 1983, to July 27, 1984. Several music cues from the program were used as background music during prize descriptions on ''The Price Is Right''.
