I once asked this kind of question through personal e-mail to some of my online buddies, but never through a game show group--until now! My idea of the perfect GS host could have these traits:
The good looks of _____
The personality of _____
The humor of _____
The 'smarts' of _____
The romantic nature of _____
The 'coolness' of _____
The enthusiasm of _____
The 'fashion sense' of _____
The talent of _____
and The friendliness of _____
Now, let's see.....if I put together:
Good looks: Wink Martindale
Personality: Tom Kennedy
Sense of humor: Richard Dawson
'Smarts:' Allen Ludden
Romantic nature: Peter Marshall
'Coolness:' Alex Trebek
Enthusiasm: Gene Rayburn
'Fashion sense:' Dick Clark
Talent: Bert Convy
and Friendliness: Monty Hall
With all those traits, I come up with..... (drum roll) Jim Peck!
Can some of YOU do better than THAT?
Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the 'Kathy Mitchell of the Big Board!'
