Game show hosts turned politicians?

My point is, and I do this all the time here: treat everyone like they have no idea what you're talking about. This is the goddamned internet: we can only take things at face value unless otherwise stated.

Guess that's what I get for not following this advice.  I realize the distinction is blurry sometimes, but to me "game show personality" means someone who was a regular or at least semi-regular guest star on a show(s).  Bess Myerson was one of them.  Celebrities who made one WML? Mystery Guest appearance and never did another game show again, while technically correct, don't really fit the spirit of what I was asking.

All well and good but we have people who have proved incapable of following simple directions; such as choosing one game show and saying "Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, The Price is Right."

Good, since that doesn't fit the actual topic.
