Re: Who Is Your Favorite All Time Game Show Host?

I don't know, I never gave it any thought. Probably it's whoever hosts your favorite game show.

My ALL TIME FAVORITE is Groucho Marx!  I loved watching Groucho Marx "You Bet Your Life," in the mid-fifties - he was hilarious.

I always loved Bob Barker and thought no one could ever replace him but I have to give Drew Carey credit for doing a good job on TPIR.   He had very big shoes to fill.

Many people don't remember that the game show Wheel of Fortune was originally hosted by Chuck Woolery. That's my favorite host. As a teenager,  I thought he was so handsome and personable.  When he left, I rarely ever watched that again. I hate WOF and I'm terrible at it! 

Second place- ***** Clark (New Years Eve guy ) D. Clark. Yes, he hosted a game show.  The $20.000 Pyramid. I actually used to cut out of school and go to the tapings with my cousin, in the 70's. What good, ole, clean fun! 😊 

 

Honorable mention to Ron Ely, AKA Tarzan, who hosted a great game show called Face The Music. It was a kind of obscure, rip off  Name that Tune. 😂 It was so much better too, and no Kathie Lee Johnson!

Anyone else remember any of this?

My favorite game show was "What's My Line" but I don't remember the host.  This was in the 60s I think.
