ChevyVanMiller Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I've always had a soft spot for game shows and always wanted to host a game show one day. Post your favorite game show host and tell why you think he/she was the best. Here's a vote for the Newlywed Game host Bob Eubanks. I always felt he had just the right amount of smarmy frat boy charm in him that really lent itself to the content of the show. Later iterations of the show leaned too heavily toward provocative questions that cheapened it's appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure that the Party Game came on right after Definition ended each day. Billy Van deserved a lifetime Emmy for the work he did on the Hilarious House of Frightenstein. Classic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
