It was an "uneven" awards show that had its hits and misses. They had a Classic Game Show award but not a Classic Host award, and there's enough of them still around for them to do it. Martindale, Marshall, Woolery, Eubanks, Lange, Kennedy, Perry, Edwards, maybe a couple of more. I didn't include Barker and Hall since they got awards. Howie was a good host, but I would've liked to see more awards and less games.
Not to take anything away from Rich Fields, but you know who I think would have made a GREAT announcer - Gary Owens. Hell, he even hosted a couple of game shows. Imagine the intro - "From beautiful downtown Hollywood . ."
