Screw geography, I\'m going off the board with my home province of Ontario and Alex Trebek.
Aaaaaaand I believe this is when it\'s time for the thread to come to a close.
Hold on pilgrim. Getting the thread back on track, a few more of the dearly departed:
New York - Steve Allen, Art Fleming, Robert Q. Lewis
Georgia - Bob Clayton, Nipsey Russell
Michigan - Art James
Texas - Larry Blyden
Gary Kroeger from Cedar Falls, Iowa (Beat the Clock 2002).
I would take Johnny Carson first.
From darn close to my old stomping grounds: Ray Combs from Hamilton, OH.
Despite my best efforts, Indiana is still the property of Marc Summers.
I hear you, Chris, because unfortunately PA, besides being the birthplace of Bill Cullen, also gets to be the home state of John Davidson.

And Chuck Barris.
Yeah, the same city too (Pittsburgh). Indiana also claims Herb Shriner, who hosted the early G-T show Two For The Money.
Not sure whether I\'m breaking the rules with this offering - Bob Dyer (or Bob Dies), who hosted the Australian game-show of Pick-A-Box (1957-1971) was a native of Tennessee (Trousdale County to be more precise).
Another Ohioan-Hugh Downs (Akron)Also:Jack Paar (Born in Canton)-Hosted Up To Paar and Bank On The Stars in the 1952-53 time frame..
From my native state of Minnesota, Jim Lange.
Louie Anderson, too. Ahmad Rashad played pro football here. And Ted Baxter from WJM-TV in Minneapolis briefly hosted \"The $50,000 Steeplechase.\"
