	I realize the dates are there, but come on...you think of Win, Lose or Draw and you think Bert Convy. He created the darn thing with Reynolds (Bert & Burt Productions).

	Loved this quiz!

	iurewhiuerw:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 15:20 GMT	2 points
	can we have the same for UK please? :-D

	Antithesys:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 16:27 GMT	7 points
	Good quiz! Missing a few (Password? and if Survivor counts, then you also need Amazing Race, Big Brother, Mole, Idol, etc), and it'd also benefit from having multiple hosts for each long-running show.

	Tim_Allen:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 16:31 GMT	14 points
	I liked the quiz, but I don't think Survivor should be included since its not really a game show. Maybe a separate quiz for reality show hosts. Like Antithesys said with Big Brother, Amazing Race, American Idol, etc.

	TokyoIsMine:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 16:55 GMT	8 points
	How can we have a Game Show quiz where none of the answers are Bill Cullen? Perhaps he should get his own quiz since he hosted so many different shows.

	PhilSandifer:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 17:46 GMT	4 points
	The quiz is a merge between one I wrote, and one Ben wrote - several things like Password, You Bet Your Life, The Weakest Link, and some UK hosts were on mine, but got cut for some of Ben's picks. I'm sure that several others were on Ben's, but got cut to make room for some of the ones on mine. So in this case, exclusions are even more inadvertent than usual.

	There are a few other alternatives to the answers printed here. For instance: Jim Lange hosted Name That Tune; Art Fleming hosted Jeopardy; Ray Combs, Richard Karn, and John O'Hurley hosted Family Feud; Match Game has had several incarnations; Meredith Vieira currently hosts Millionaire; The Price is Right is currently hosted by Drew Carey; and CLASSIC Hollywood Squares was hosted by Peter Marshall. Otherwise, love the quiz. I couldn't spell "Tomarken" for the life of me.

	No whammies, no whammies, STOP! Ahh! Whammy!

	Lulu:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 18:34 GMT	2 points
	One for the UK would be nice. We have some of the same shows (who wants to be a millionaire, deal or no deal, etc...) but with different hosts.

	PhilSandifer:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 19:03 GMT	4 points
	Louis - Yes, which is why the quiz specifies years. All of those people have hosted the show, but they did not host them in the years given. :)

Comment below threshold: show it

	Ben:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 20:45 GMT	4 points
	Yeah Phil and I combined on this... I don't remember what I put down for some of the other ones.. but I left off some because they only hosted for a few years. I put the more common host for the ones I picked, like Jeopardy and Family Feud...

	StephenM:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 23:12 GMT	8 points
	Good quiz, just two concerns. 1) I don't think Survivor should be on here & 2) Gene Rayburn hosted Match Game from '73-'79 as well, not just in the 60s.

	starsaphire:	Oct 17th, 2008 at 23:16 GMT	3 points
	No Peter Marshall? No Alan Ludden? No Bert Convy? Nipsey Russell would be ashamed. ;)

	Chumley:	Oct 18th, 2008 at 05:00 GMT	4 points
	As stated by others, I think the definitive host for Hollywood squares is Peter Marshall. we realize you put years but as hollywood squares hosts goes Tom Bergeron is below John Davidson and Jon "Bowzer" Bauman. Also Bert Convey is the definitive host of Win, Lose or Draw. Just putting down years doesn't change the facts that these people are the icons of these shows. (Only because the current Jeopardy has been on for 25 years does Trebek beat Flemming.) Be back in two and two;)

	WVUIE97:	Oct 18th, 2008 at 21:50 GMT	4 points
	maybe re-doing the quiz with the suggestions here? listing the multiple shows each guy hosted along with the corresponding years, should take care of the multiple shows for Woolery and others

	WVUIE97:	Oct 18th, 2008 at 21:51 GMT	1 point
	Or even just list the shows and have all hosts as separate answers

	egon14:	Oct 21st, 2008 at 16:11 GMT	4 points
	Some other "classic"game shows would include: Joker's Wild, You Bet Your Life, To Tell the Truth, Liar's Club, Scrabble, and maybe even the Dating Game.

	dakaraja:	Dec 31st, 2008 at 02:07 GMT	2 points
	Until I read the comments I didn't even realize that when I typed Convy for Win, Lose or Draw, it filled in Vicki Lawrence.

	get ben baily in here from the cash cab and drew carey

	I have to disagree with chumley here. I won't dispute that Peter Marshall was the definitive Squares host, but "Tom Bergeron is below John Davidson and Jon "Bowzer" Bauman"? Really? Bauman was very awkward, and Davidson couldn't even remember the damn rules. Besides, Bergeron's version lasted the longest out of all the revivals. And I think he's proven himself to be a very capable host, perhaps the best to emerge in the last decade and change.

	make Double Dare more specific as to which Double Dare you mean. I didnt realize you were talking about the nickelodeon version. There was an entirely different game show by the name of Double Dare in the 70's which was hosted by Alex Trebek, which is why i couldnt figure out why his name wasnt coming up when i typed it in.

	gamer2000:	Aug 15th, 2009 at 02:27 GMT	1 point
	really tough... blast from the past most of those names... :)

	Robert_Seth:	Aug 28th, 2009 at 07:13 GMT	5 points
	I could name your mother last night Trebek!

	Not bad... except for name that tune. That was hard.

	cantthinkofaname:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 10:48 GMT	0 points
	Gene Rayburn hosted Match game in the 70s and 80s not the 60s

	aji:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 01:40 GMT	1 point
	cantthinkofaname: you're wrong. Rayburn hosted it in the 60s as well.

	TubeChat:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 18:56 GMT	2 points
	Survivor and Fear Factor are not game shows. They fall under the category of reality tv.

	ClamBuckets:	Apr 14th, 2010 at 08:21 GMT	1 point
	Only got Monty Hall thanks to my math degree. Thank you, probability class!

	Hamlet:	Aug 1st, 2010 at 13:44 GMT	1 point
	Just to clarify, Rayburn did indeed host a version of Match Game in the 1960's, but it bore little resemblance to the more famous version of the game that began in the 1970's.
