Maybe Game Shows are doomed...

Billy Bush could be a decent game show host, but you can't throw a rookie into one of the most difficult formats to do well. "Deal" requires tons of ad-lib skills and a complete understanding of every possible scenario that could play out, and it was ridiculous to to think Bush could handle that.

Millionaire would be closer to his speed, but I still don't imagine the gift of gab is there yet for him.

And in the case of "Grease:  You're the One That I Want," he was just plain insufferable.  Even if the crap he had to read off the prompter didn't give him any favors, Denise Van Outen, who is much more experienced at this sort of thing, had to be wincing whenever she was off-camera.
