Joe Namath did and he was considered to host Feud in 1988 before the job went to Ray Combs.

I'm not sure I would count hosts of pilots  - just shows that went to series.

Not a Cardinals fan?

Still no excuse. The second one he won riding the bench with the New York Giants. :)

Though he's somewhat of a Hall of Famer:

Vin Scully, former longtime Dodgers announcer and one-time game show host (It Takes Two), was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom today (11/22), the nation's highest-ever civilian honor.

Don't the broadcasters get rings too? Vin would certainly qualify as he would have six.

Yeah, but only as a national broadcaster. None of the local professional teams he worked for won titles during his tenure with them.

Enberg did UCLA basketball play-by-play when they won title year after year. Not sure if they hand out rings for that.

Another question: Which game show hosts ever hosted Saturday Night Live? It struck me while seeing Alec Baldwin. Drew did. Milton Berle hosted Jackpot Bowling and the SNL Lorne Michaels has never let be rerun.

Which is why I said *professional* teams.

While the definition of "big game" may vary, Rolf also appeared in the 1981 AFC Championship game.

That's coming close, I'd say.
