As loath as I am to even bring it up, two-thirds of The Chamber's run.

I can't find a U.S. episode with a question reader. Was this a season 2 thing?

No, it's a "Kniwt's mind is clearly fried from doing too much LDS at Berkeley" thing. Edited my reply above; apologies. :)

Win Ben Stein's Money
(oh wait, this was mentioned in the original post - and was it Stein or Kimmel (or whoever it was that replaced Kimmel) that asked the questions in the first round?)

Stein in the first round, Kimmel/Pimental the rest of the way.
No love for Cousin Sal.

No knowledge of Cousin Sal being part of it—I just knew of the first two.  Omission not intentional.

The recently-canceled Panel Quiz Attack 25 had a host who did most of the duties you would expect, with the exception of reading questions, which his co-host did.
This seems to be the standard in Japan, both for past and present shows. I personally have only come across two shows that haven't split the duties and one of them was Millionaire.
This signature is currently under construction.

Legends Of The Hidden Temple had Olmec read the Steps of Knowledge questions. He also explained the Temple Games rules, and guided the team through the final Temple as well. Why the heck was Kirk Fogg even there, anyway?

Olmec wouldn't have been able to give running commentary on the Temple Run from his vantage point.

Wait... was the temple a part of Olmec? Could he feel the kids running around inside?

Canadian Headline Hunters. Dave Duvall gave the clues. Jim followed along.

^^ By the same token, Definition. Devall read out the clue when the puzzle was first revealed.

MTV's Remote Control, the Sing Along with Colin category, he "sung" the question of sorts.

Jeopardy clue crew members although they are separate answer readers, not question readers.

On that criteria, I guess Johnny Gilbert and the few categories he's been "featured in" can be counted as well. I also believe Ken did some clue reads as well during Alex's most recent shows.

/and can we even include the other various guests?

I'm not counting stuff like the Clue Crew, I'm referring to a different person, on-stage or off, who always read all the questions.

Does the announcer whispering the password for the home audience (any version) count?

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Ava on Mental Samurai.
