Patricia "Patti" Deutsch (born December 16, 1945, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is a voice artist and comedic actress. In the 1970s she was a frequent panelist on Match Game and Tattletales.
Deutsch was a regular celebrity panelist on Match Game. Her answers were often convoluted (e.g., "A red moth-eaten sofa that was rejected by the homeless shelter"), and usually did not 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.
She 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, as the original host (Gene Rayburn) was deceased, as were original panelists Charles Nelson Reilly and Brett Somers.
In the 1980s, Deutsch did voice-over work on Hanna Barbera's The Smurfs and Capitol Critters cartoon series. She 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. Deutsch had her own television show in 1979 titled Grandpa Goes to Washington but it only ran for about a month. She made a cameo appearance in the 1983 movie Mr. Mom, playing "The Deli Girl".
