You also don’t read before you post either, because someone already mentioned Jamie Farr. Not the first time for that either.

I think Bill is right to want to contain this to hosts; if we don’t then the list just gets incredibly long and full of assistants and models. And while there’s nothing wrong with that, the idea was to drive home the point that there aren’t as many of the older school left still with us now that we’ve lost Wink Martindale on top of guys like Peter Marshall and Chuck Woolery.

From NBC'S 90S To Tell the truth.   Gordon Elliott and Lynn Swann still alive according to Wikipefia.

You can put an asterisk (*) next to Richard Kline for the "accidental" NBC pilot airing of To Tell The Truth.

Someone I forgot earlier: Leslie Uggams, depending on how much you consider “Fantasy” a game show.

She was terrific in American Fiction, a really good movie. I hadn’t seen her in anything for ages.

Under fill-in hosts, you can add Jamie Farr when he filled in for Tom Kennedy on Wordplay.

Same goes for Sally Struthers who subbed for Vicki Lawrence on Daytime WLOD

Marjorie Goodson is still living and in fact active on social media

I don't consider her a host, but she's definitely a Mark Goodson production.  ;D  (ducks)

Also add to the "more of a co-host than model/assistant" -- Ruta Lee on High Rollers.
