Game show hosts you've met

[whewfan]

Ron Maestri was a contestant on Win Lose or Draw before he got the job hosting Quicksilver. The premise was kind of clever, but presented in a very understated way. Ron was hardly "Mr. Excitement", but I guess they wanted a low key host, and I don't think you could get more low key than Ron Maestri. When I was trying to find out why they called the show "Quicksilver", the only thing I could find was that they couldn't think of a better name for the show.

"Mystery Blank" didn't test well.

Bill Bellamy (final season of Let's Ask America)

I forgot Bill Bellamy hosted a show. I met him at the Virginia Beach Funny Bone around 2010 or so.

Was friends with Ron Maestri for a while, and we'll leave it at that.

Saw him on an episode of Extreme Cheapskates some years back. He seems....eccentric.

Beautifully phrased.  Mind you, that was largely set-up (SHOCK, a reality show?!!!!)  But yes, good observation.

I have stories about Allen Ludden.

But will you share them?

Yes, but only in person. Anyone reading this who finds himself in the Hollywood area can hit me up and I'll pick up your luncheon tab.

Betty figures into some of the stories.
