Game Shows "On The Maps"

[TimK2003]

We've all heard of the Bob Barker Studio and related Promennade @ CBS TV City, but what hosts and/or shows have official designations beyond Beverly & Fairfax?


First one that comes to mind is Truth or Consequences -- nee Hot Springs, New Mexico who changed their town name because of the TOC show...

There is also a Monty Hall Drive in Cathedral City California ('Burb of Palm Springs)...

And there is a Ralph Edwards Bridge on a newer stretch of US-23/I-181 just north of the NC/TN border (although I believe this is not the same Ralph Edwards).


Any other citys/streets/freeways that have actually been named for a Game Show host or show?

Well, there's "Rodeo Drive."

I'm sure this ritzy Beverly Hills street's name preceded the Louise DuArt-hosted, J.Wo.-produced game by many years.

 Turning the question around, what shows were named after where they were taped?

I can think of:

Hollywood Squares
Diamond Head Game
Las Vegas Gambit
Caesar's Challenger

I suppose the various incarnations of Survivor and Celebrity Mole fit, too.

"Treasure Isle?" (Well, it did mention Palm Beach Shores in its theme song)

 I think it was covered on "Naturally Stoned," but doesn't Chuck Woolery have a street named after him in his home state (Kentucky?)?

Encino never erected a shrine to Match Game?

 Do we wanna get technical and include Trump Card? 'Spose we should if Ceasar's Challenge counts.

A minor nitpick; it's "Caesar's Challenge".  Caesar's Challenger (and winner) was Brutus.

On the marquee under "Free TV" and "In-Room Coffee":

 Neither did Upper Montclair, New Jersey.

Encino does have Edward Everett Horton Lane, and now Hollywood has Johnny Grant Way at the new Hollywood-Highland complex. The latter is about as long and impressive as Johnny's game show career!
