Game Show Host Wardrobe Question

[J.R.]

Out of Botany 500, Rick Pallack, Perry Ellis, Agustus, Brooks Brothers, ect...

Which one has suited the most hosts ? (My gut tells me it's "Botany 500", but not 100% sure)

and Are any of these business still exist ?

Thanks !

You know, every time I start to think that I worry too much about minutia in my life... I just check out boards like these, and I feel a whole lot better.

 This sounds like a "Greed" question. I guess Botany 500 (shrug).

As for existing companies, I know Botany, Rick Pallack, and Perry Ellis still exist. Never heard of the others.

 Ain't THAT the truth.

I have NEVER seen a GS host wearing Brooks Brothers. For the same reason I've never seen one wear Armani. Both, however, are available for your professional-wear needs.

Stuck in my head from repeated readings: "Chuck Woolery's wardrobe provided by Bernini".

Fond recollections of Rick Pallack lending clothes to talent for low budget and even self-funded pilots.

Yep.

As did Bob Goen, Bert Convy, and Chuck Henry.

Seemed like every host during the high point of the Barry and Enright empire wore Botany 500...Barry, Lange, and Martindale all did, and IIRC Geoff Edwards also did on Play the Percentages.

 Rubin, not Brooks, Brothers had its share of game show clientele in the 70s, and Botany 500 did in the 70s/80s.

I remember Pat Sajak used to wear Augustus (often referred as "Pat Augustus"), then he wore Fred Hayman (Beverly Hills), then Facconable (French-sounding), then Bill Blassman MensWear.

Also, Tom Bergeron wore Rick Pallack, did he hot?

 This was waaaaaaaay in the back of my mind, but Geoff's wardrobe on PtP was supplied by After Six, Inc.

 Actually, that was on "The New Treasure Hunt."  He wore tuxedos from After Six.
