A piece of felt got more votes than Ryan Seacrest.

And speaking of seasoned veterans:

[color=\"#CC33CC\"]59 Guy Smiley[/color]
What's My Part?, Beat the Time, The Triangle is Right
(4 points, 2 of 68 ballots cast)
[/quote]
Nice picture in the Northwest Corner. Now I've seen everything. At least Pat O'Brien got the honor first.

The more I look at Mr. Smiley, the more he starts to look like Jim Perry!

Mr. Smiley's Wikipedia entry also compares him to Jim Perry.  Has to be a coincidence, though, since Mr. Smiley joined Sesame Street in 1970, and at that time Mr. Perry was still a minor Canadian TV personality.

This means that not only did Todd Russell get at least two votes, but he made the top 55. YES!

Well, I'm sure we're also saluting whoever had a hand in Guy's success.
And Guy would probably have done a better job on FF than Louie Anderson.

Whoever?  WHOEVER???  That's almost a bannable offense.

It was, in fact, the big guy.  Mr. H himself brought Guy to life.

Oh, fiddlesticks. Well, since you can accept Lee Bowman not being notable, I can live with Todd Russell not being in there. I suppose John Reed King is off the radar as well. The biz of show can be so cruel.

I hadn't been watching out for ties, so Bob Goen actually gets credit for being tied for 53rd.  I'm sure he's thrilled.  Now let's kick it old-school:


[color=\"#CC33CC\"]53 Steve Allen[/color]
I've Got A Secret
(13 2/68)

I'm sure Steve would rather be remembered for many other things than hosting a game show.

[color=\"#CC33CC\"]53 Robert Q. Lewis[/color]
The Name's the Same
(13 2/68)

I'm sure Robert would be delighted that he's remembered at all.

[color=\"#CC33CC\"]53 Betty White[/color]
Just Men
(13 2/68)

Yeah, but if it was a survey about game show players...

[color=\"#CC33CC\"]52 Jack Clark[/color]
(14 2/68)
Cross-Wits, Dealer's Choice

Yeah, but if it was a survey about game show announcers...

[color=\"#CC33CC\"]51 Chuck Barris[/color]
The Gong Show
(15 2/68)

Yeah, but...oh, whatever.

OK, I admit I'm probably as big a fan of GONG as anyone on the board, if not more so.  And Chuckie did a fine job of hosting once he warmed up to the role.  So naturally most would think that I'm one of the two who had Barris in their top 20.  That's not the case.  I did consider him, but he didn't make my final cut.

Anybody want to come clean?  :)

Yes I voted for Chuckie baby.  I also voted for Jerry Springer and Paul Reubens.  Big whoop, wanna fight about it? :)

I thought Jerry did a helluva job on UK's Greed and Paul was the cheezy, a'typical model of a game show host YDKJ was looking for.  Just my two cents.
