In your opinion, what are your top 3 favorite host slip-ups of all time? Specifically, examples of hosts either speaking not-so-eloquently, or managing to screw up the simplest rules of the English language...But of course, we're certainly not limited to that. My top 3 are...
3. Newlywed Game - Bob Eubanks - "25 point boner".....
--Gotta love this one, especially since "Boner" is such a fitting word for that show.
2. Scrabble - Chuck Woolery - "Let's re-crap the scores!".....
--Another favorite...potty humor for all to enjoy!
1. Password Plus - Allen Ludden - "Do you like to play Password?" Contestant: "I sure do!" Allen: "Would you like to do it?".....
--If your mind is in the gutter, which every audience members' was, the spontaenaity and randomness of the question made this great. In addition, Allen's blatant ignorance of innuendo made this my top choice...Seeing the classy host come out of his shell was a great moment...

Honorable Mention: Phone Jeopardy Promo - Alex Trebek - "Ah, dumb son-of-a-b*tch you don't watch Jeopardy 24 hours a day!" and the famous "Aw, f*ck!"......
--Although the clip that circulates is heavily edited, there's no denying the fact that Trebek got a little heated during the shooting of that promo. The way he deals with his frustration made it hilarious, as well as seeing him being less-than uptight.
