Son of Dream Show of '05

Host? Good one. I'll go with something that hasn't been mentioned before:

NBC's Card Sharks.

Only one problem. I'm probably not tall enough to reach the Big Bet card.

[William_S.]

hoo boy so many, but If I had a choice it'd be Press Your Luck since after watching so many eps, I acustomized my fast talking and upbeat to peter's. I can also remember when working at the local theater, catching myself doing come "PYLisms" in front of customers.  such as reading the price or change one digit at a time.

[Craig Karlberg]

Let's see, a host eh?  Being bliind, I'd like to stay away from the quizzers & go to the ones where anything can happen(& they usually do).  For me, I'd like to be Monty Hall on LMAD.  There's nothing like having to make all kinds of crazy deals to the contestants & watch their reactions when they find out if they won a car or even an extra large T-shirt that read "I Got Zonked On LMAD".

Classic "I've Got a Secret." The chance to do a lot of fun things, a show with Bill Cullen and celebrities...just sounds like an enjoyable time.

[The Ol' Guy]

original Joker's Wild, no doubt!

[MSTieScott]

I'd pick Pyramid. My interviewing skills leave much to be desired, so I'd need a show where the focus is on the game (it shouldn't be too hard to ask the celebrity to briefly tell us about their latest movie/TV show/book/commercial and then let my eyes glaze over). Plus I'd get to do the post-mortem.

I'd love to host "Super Pay Cards"  Gameplay is fairly simple, easy enough to coax a contestant to make a choice, and if executive producer I'd up the bonus payouts to $250, $2,500, and $25,000.  Besides, the set reeks of cheesiness, my kind of show.

[Stackertosh]

price is right

[MCArroyo1]

"To Tell the Truth," hands down.  I could do the whole show, AND pick up the check, in my sleep.

I do not chime in on this board alot but this topic has tickled my fancy.  It is tough to decide to host one show, but if I had to pick a show I would pick something quite fun.  If I could pick one show that I could host from the past I would have to select one by decade.  It is greedy but great shows have been on during each decade.  

50's: 21
60's: Beat The Clock
70's: High Rollers
80's: Chain Reaction
90's: The Price is Right
Now: Family Feud

Each show has an unbelievable quality to them.  They are all fun to watch, orignal games, and classic.  I picked 21 because in my honest opinion it has never gotten a fair shake on television.  Beat the Clock was quirky and fun.  High Rollers was as much luck as knowledge. Chain Reaction is one of my all time favorites.  The Price is Right is one of the greatest game shows ever and why not host a legend.  Family Feud is the game that is quite fun to watch and be apart of.  Intereaction is key and comedy is something that is easy to catch in this game.    

There are alot of shows that I would love to host. I would like to put my spin on shows like $ale of the Century, To Tell The Truth, Blockbusters, Match Game, Press Your Luck, GO!, Scrabble, Greed, Treasure Hunt, Let's Make a Deal, The Joker's Wild, Tattle Tales, and many others.  Mabey one day I will accomplish my goals and host one of these great shows.  That is my piece, im out.

Which is why I'd take Card Sharks (Perry) or a new P+/SP.

(Yeah, that's two.....so sue me......)

[beatlefreak84]

I would definitely want a show where I have NO idea what is going to happen as the game goes along; that way, it would almost be like I was playing the game along with the contestants.  Plus, I'd want to host a show where I could have a lot of fun with the contestants and, of course, with the viewers...

Given that, I'd have to go with PYL as my choice.  Actually, when I was a kid and I would "practice" trying to be an emcee, I would always do it in the style of Peter Tomarken; I thought he was the coolest host ever.

(Game Show Geekiness Alert!)  Actually, now that I'm a teacher, I find myself sometimes even using the same mannerisms that Peter would use during the question rounds!  Creepy, huh?

Wow, I wouldn't. It's nice for getting genuine reactions, but speaking as someone who has broadcasted live, you have enough damned work trying to be interesting and trying to move the show along as it is without having extra gameplay curveballs thrown at you. Better to have an idea of what might happen and SELL it like it's a surprise to the viewers than to have to process it yourself at the same time, I think.

(Taking nothing away from Tomarken, who does a bang-up job on most everything. I'm saying, for example, on Pyramid, I'd totally want to know where the Big 7/7-11/Mystery 7/Super Six was located before the game started, so that _I'M_ not surprised when they come up. I can still sell it and make it look exciting, but why make it harder than it needs to be?)

OK, I'll take one nobody's mentioned--I'd gladly host GONG (just so I could actually hear what Jaye P. said).

And, of course, to see her {OOPS!}
