A friend of mine was doing a back-and-forth naming of former game-show hosts who ended their careers in other game-show-related positions and came up with a laundry list of people, mostly hosts becoming announcers. 

Some of which include:

Gene Wood -- Hosted Beat The Clock, and An6thing You Can Do, but finished as an announcer for G-T (was Combs Feud his last gig?)

Jack Clark -- Hosted Cross-Wits, finished as a rotating announcer on $xxx,000 Pyramid (?)

Jack Narz -- Hosted Dotto and Beat The Clock, finished as an announcer on All-Star Beat The Clock.

Others?

Could have sworn Gene Wood last true announcing gig was The Family Challenge w/ Ray Combs and Michael Burger.

Gene Wood announced for the Ray Combs version, and was his last regular gig. I believe Randy West announced for the Michael Berger version.

Charlie Glaize was the regular announcer for the Michael Burger version. Randy announced a Family Challenge Ice Capades special that was hosted by Ray Combs.

Ralph Edwards went from T or C host, to game show producer.

Jim McKrell went from host to announcer, replacing Joe Alaskey on Couch Potatoes.
