Looks like Howie Madel will be hosting the awards show.

By June 6th, the air date, GSN will have the promos for DOND ready to air throughout this show, no doubt. Great cross-promotion, and Howie should have no trouble handling this gig.

It looks like the Awards will be playing real games with casted contestants.

The GSN Radio gang mentioned that Tom Bergeron will be the one handling the Bob Barker award.

I think I heard listening to GSN Radio yesterday that the awards will be streamed on GSN Radio as well. I don't know if it will be at the same time as the initial airing on GSN though.

It was announced by Bob Goen on GSN Radio today that Richard Dawson will be a part of the Game Show Awards.

Wow, there's a surprise.

This would be his first public appearance in what 15 years?

BillCullen1 · « **Reply #37 on:** May 12, 2009, 11:18:33 AM »

I'm sure other hosts will be on as presenters if anything else. We know Monty and Bob Barker will be there. It's probably safe to bet that Wink, Chuck W. Bob Eubanks and possibly more will be there.

This most likely won't happen, but given the latest rumors and reports, I hope Tom gives Bob his award by saying "Betty White was supposed to be here, but we got a last minute call saying she couldn't make it." Just to see the look on Bob's face would be worth it.

I'm not so sure about Dawson being there. The Radio gang advertised Richard Karn from Family Feud, and the only place I've seen/heard Dawson mentioned is someone's account on the Buzz.

Something to note. Even though the show has already taped and the awards have been handed out, you can still vote on the GSN boards for the awards. To quote Arte Johnson from Laugh-In, "Verrrry interesting."

According to the PDF's, these will be reran several times over the next few weeks, so don't worry if you miss it.

This show is dreadful. If it improved a bit, it could suck.

If you don't like game shows, and you don't know anything about game shows, why on earth would you produce an awards show for game shows?

To honor Mark Goodson and not Bill Todman? To break up the "honors" with stupid games that give prizes to "contestants" in the audience? It's okay to not like game shows -- a lot of people don't like game shows and they're fine people -- but don't waste your time and ours doing a mockery of game shows on GSN.

I'm very disappointed.
