I kinda assumed that it did not count...and that being the case, the only other two people of whom I can think, whom I knew first as game show hosts, who then later became DJs are Todd Newton (on the ill-fated "Blink 102.7" in NY) and Ryan Secrest (currently on pretty much every radio station everywhere).
Of course, I'm sure that within 10 minutes of this post, someone will let me know that both of them started out as DJs and I just didn't know them from Adam back then.

Who is Heather Cunningham? [/quote]
It's a shame you were not able to see Heather in 1975. As Jim Peck said to her on the next-to-last ep of TBS, "Dynamite! You little rascal, you look terrific today!" I will add, she looked great every day. Ahem, back to the matter at hand, the first time I had heard of Todd Newton, he was hosting the "All Nite Cafe," which was a syndicated pop music show that one of our local stations carried. This was around 96 or 97. As for Ryan, he was doing radio at least by the time of his "Dating Game" appearance, whether he was a dj before WAG, somebody will know.

Todd got his start in his hometown of St. Louis.
