I want a word with the nine people whose ballots were Dickless.

Turns out six of them had Richard Dawson on their lists. So technically, only three were completely Dickless.

Apparently, those three had their Dick's out when they made their 20th choice! :-p

I'm not touching those with a ten-foot pole.

I have to share this memory because of your comment. When I was in college, one of the people in my circle of friends was from South America and was always saying, in his accent, "You deek!" Some of us imagined a game show, of unspecified format, looking something like the Match Game set, hosted by my friend. "Join our stars ... Dick Clark ... Dick Gautier ... Angie Dickinson ... Dick Dawson ... and Dick Martin ... on Deek-Speak! ... And here's the host of Deek-Speak, H.F.!" He would walk in like Gene Rayburn and greet the panel, "Hello, you Deeks!"

And you could include Tim Allen ... his real name is Tim Dick.

And I thought for sure Alex was going to come in at number SEVENNnnaahhh. :-p

I had Trebek at number 13 on my list. I'm betting that if it weren't for J! he'd be a lot lower on most people's lists. I'm not saying he's bad by any means. He's perfect for the modern incarnation of J!. Without it, he'd be remembered as just another game show host.

Of course, this is true for many of the folks on our list. Would Art Fleming have made it without the original J!, or Richard Dawson without FF? Uncle Bill is one of the few exceptions to this rule.

Of course not. For all intents and purposes, those were the only shows those two had. You can say the same (with different shows of course) for Bob Barker, Allen Ludden, Monty Hall, Dick Clark, etc.

As for Alex, I voted for him mostly on the basis of his other shows. He's not much of a host on J, more of "the guy who reads the answers." But I was a fan of him on High Rollers and his versatilty in going from J to a format like Classic Concentration.

What, do you want him to lace up the figure skates and jump over barrels?

You've got to admit, it would make a hell of an entrance.

I would suggest jumping a shark, but then that would be the beginning of the end of the show.
