    Alex Trebek an obvious and not just a sympathy vote after today's sad news.

    Who else?

    Bob Barker? Allen Ludden? Pat Sajak (I say no)? Monty Hall?

    A Facebook friend suggested Vin Scully. Not sure he did enough game-show hosting to qualify.

    And as I like to point out occasionally, Johnny Gilbert is 96 years old.

    Trebek, Cullen, Martindale, Dawson, Hall, Barker.

    Pat Sajak is a loathsome person, so no.

    Richard Dawson has to be on there. I had totally forgotten about him. And I admit part of my reason for including him is his role of playing a game show host in The Running Man.

    Trebek and Barker are no-doubters.

    I'd put Rayburn and Dawson on there, but your mileage will vary. I'd have no qualms with the others mentioned. But the Trebek and Barker are set in stone, so to speak.

    Agree.

    Eubanks may belong for this alone

    Eubanks was tremendous. And for the SoCal contingent, the longtime host of the Rose Parade with Stephanie Edwards on KTLA, the must-watch production for locals. No one else held a candle to that production and announcing crew.
