Game Show Host Mount Rushmore

53 seasons?

Hosted.

Created.

You bet.

 

In 1985, if you didn't live near a Woolworth's, that Oster blender (or better yet, the handheld "neck" vibrator) would take 4-6 weeks to arrive from the Dolgin's catalog.

But, yes... take the money.

 

Hell to the no

 

I humbly submit the original “Press Your Luck@ host Peter Tomarkin. Show was good, but he died (too soon) piloting his aircraft in a emergency medical flight. Special humanitarian consideration.

 

Throw in his brother Jack Narz. Another guy who was not great but very versatile.

 

As good as place as any to post this video:

 

The Clemente of game show hosts.

 

I like watching her on Press Your Luck. She seems genuinely enthusiastic about the success of the players and also knows how to play up the drama. (And, yeah, the outfits.)

I don't know why ABC has Joel McHale hosting the Card Sharks revival. I didn't enjoy it even though I'll watch past versons on Buzzr whenever I find them.

 

Drawing a blank on the name here, but it's a video like the actress who was interviewed by Costas and talked about losing her virginity the night Armstrong walked on the moon. Always welcome.

 

You think about the lifetime hours on TV lost this year between Trebek, Hugh Downs and Regis Philbin. Ginormous. Forget the election - if anything could unify this country it's our collective sense of loss with the passing of Trebek. He made us smarter. Took Art History and Shakespeare in college because I sucked at those Jeopardy categories.
