Well, if you have GSN, try watching a show or two. In any event, MG questions are fill-in-the-blank, but not trivia, and should always have multiple "appropriate" answers. Here's a Match Game video clip.

Example Bad Question: "Einstein said, 'God does not play ____ with the universe.'" (Bad because there's only one correct answer = "dice".)

Good question: "Einstein said, 'God does not play dice with the universe; however, he does play ____ with it.'" (Good because there's no "real" answer, and lots of potentially funny ones.)

It usually helps if there are potentially "naughty" answers; double entendres are the meat and drink of Match Game.
