Yes, there seem to be many sentences uttered by just about every emcee on every game show past or present. The big three to enter my mind are "Good luck", "Congratulations" and "Listen carefully".
Do you have others?

Whether it be to Mr. Olson, Gilbert or Jacobs, most every host has said "Thank you, Johnny!"

How about.....

"Let's say 'hello' to (insert contestants' names here)"
"Can you come back tomorrow?"
"We'll be back with more of (insert name of show here) after this commercial message." (Although many hosts had various ways of saying this phrase.)
"And let's welcome my co-hostess, (insert model's name here)."
(to guest celebrity) "What do you have coming up/in the future?"

Once you buy the wheel, it's yours to spin, however, if you choose to pass it, we'll add five bonus seconds to your overall time, at which you can either answer the question or shave Alex Trebek.

And remember, turnabout is fair play.

(Clementson's the best.... nah, that Trebek one takes the cake.)
