Aaaaaaand I believe this is when it\'s time for the thread to come to a close.

Gary Kroeger from Cedar Falls, Iowa (Beat the Clock 2002).

I hear you, Chris, because unfortunately PA, besides being the birthplace of Bill Cullen, also gets to be the home state of John Davidson.

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).

From my native state of Minnesota, Jim Lange.
