![]() ![]() And I don’t mean just on the show I mean in general whenever he is on camera. He had no ability to connect with the contestants, his “humor” always fell flat, and he came across as whiny and unlikeable. They never show up in reruns, and it’s no surprise why. And I’m not considering any spin-offs or foreign versions or celebrity-only or whatever this is the main-run US version only. This list is definitive and concrete, because I said it is and I’m a game show junkie. Here’s the list of them, from worst to first. The show has had seven hosts (I count one twice), of different skills and abilities. On what other show are you gonna get the answer “naked grandma” to a question? Born in the 70’s from the ultimate game show creator Mark Goodson, it’s survived almost 50 years thanks to its unique blend of being a quiz show and a humorous glimpse into ordinary people’s minds. But one game show in particular is interesting in this regard, because it has had enough hosts and varieties to make it a case study in and of itself: Family Feud. ![]() ![]() I have seen a lot of terrible game shows, and a lot of terrible hosts. I looked forward to the morning game show slot more than I did the Saturday morning cartoon slot.Īs you might imagine, I therefore have some pretty strong opinions about game shows themselves, and their hosts. Ditto for the summertime, when I would catch every episode that I could. When I was a kid, I used to love being sick because it meant I got to stay home and watch Price is Right. If I’d have lived in ancient Rome, I’d have been at the Colosseum every day, that’s for sure. I actually choose my cable or satellite package by whether or not I get Game Show Network, and I am happy to watch 40-year-old game shows all day. ![]()
