People You Wouldn't Like To Host A Game Show

[GSWitch]

So it's Friday the 13th & I came up with this loaded question.  Who would you hate to see hosting a game show?

The only thing is, it can't be anyone who already hosted a game show in the past (IE Patrick Wayne).

It's not necessary to name a specific game show @ all.

********************************************

My answer; Fox's own loudmouth (MALCOLM!!!), Jane Kaczmarek!

What are your answers?

Gilbert Gottfried. Funny on HS, but imagine him, say, hosting Concentration.

TWEWWW...AND TWENNNTY SIXX...NOT A MATCH! THE BOARD GOES BACK. YOU FOOL!

My answer would have to be Roseanne.  I think she was funny on her show, but I couldn't imagine her hosting a game show.  She'd get such a thick head after a while that I think she'd make the show all about her instead of the contestants.

My #2 choice (not that she ever would host one!) would have to be Ann Coulter.  She'd change the name of the non-winners from "losers" to "liberals!"

Evan Marrioti...oh wait. It's already gonna happen. *kicks people*

I would like to see every person in America host at least one game show.

 Having done it myself, and seen myself on tape -- no, you wouldn't.

 Even if we agreed with your hosting performance, we'd still think of several people worse than you could have possibly done(see Scott Sternberg on Let's Go Back and Jack Barry on some years of TJW and on BtB Syndie for an example of a less than stellar host who produced the show as well)

May I point out that Jane Kazcmarek is an actress playing a part and seems to be a charming and refined woman offstage--we know for sure that Bradley Whitford likes her a lot.  

Personally, I was thinking of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog ("That was a good answer--FOR ME TO POOP ON!"), but on the other hand, it would be fun to hear him call for Triumph's Bitches.

(And yes, I know that Robert Smigel is really Triumph.)

My own personal nomination for game show hosting hell would be the "wild and unpredictable" Kit Hoover of "Cold Pizza" (also former "Road Rules" contestant).  In the words of Dave Letterman describing Mary Hart, "too damn perky, ladies and gentlemen--too--damn--perky."

I remember the first Family Feud show with Richard Karn hosting... it was before I had joined this group and I didn't have any knowledge ahead of time that Louie had been canned, and when Burton announced Richard's name, at first I thought he said Richard Kind (Paul Lassiter from Spin City)!  All I can say is thank God he's not hosting Feud, or any other game show for that matter!  I can only imagine how awful it would be!

Bzzt!  See the first post:

But thanks for playing our game, and I do believe we have a home version of the game for you, don't we, Johnnie?

"Well you can't have that, but if you're an American citizen you are entitled to: a heated kidney-shaped pool, a microwave oven (don't watch the food cook), a dynagym -- I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home, a king size titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polypendum, a foolproof plan and an airtight alibi, real simulated indian jewelry, a Gucci shoe tree, a years supply of antibiotics, a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth, and Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number! A beautifully restored Third Reich swizzle stick, Rosemary's baby! A dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams, a new Matador, a new Mastadon, a Maverick, a Mustang, a Montego, a Merc Montclaire, a Mark 4, a Meteor, a Mercedes, an MG, or a Malibu, a Marc Moriarty, a Masarati, a Mack truck. A Mazda! A new Monza! Or a moped, a Winnebago, hell, a herd of Winnebagos, we're givin' 'em away! Or how about a McCullough chain saw? A Las Vegas wedding, a Mexican divorce, a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee cup, or a baby's arm holding an apple."

(I have to trot this out every year or two.)
