A while ago, someone posted a thread featuring the Top 5 best and worst game show themes of all-time on here and this got me thinking:
Who do you think are the top 10 Really Good, But Really Overrated Game Show Hosts and why?
In random order...
1). Monty Hall - I never really seemed to get into him on LMaD that much and then I see him on his other shows and hosts them like he's still on LMaD, especially on his other shows such as It's Anybody's Guess and Split Second '86.
2). Pat Sajak - After seeing Chuck in action, Sajak's puckish behavior and can really grate one's nerves, especially during the time he had his talk show and he started acting like he was better than everyone else.
3). Peter Marshall - I never really saw anything special about this guy. On HS, it was really the stars that MADE THE SHOW! Marshall, all he really did was do his tee-hee laugh, which also grinded my teeth as well. I also hated the way he took crappy potshots at other versions of HS, too! Sounds like one of those guys that acts nice, but talk about other versions of HS around him and he can come out as a jerk!
4). Todd Newton - I liked him on Hollywood Showdown, but on Whammy, he seems fake and phony. He sounds like he's excited in round 1, but then dozes off in round 2. It's suppposed to be the other way around!
5). Bob Eubanks - On TNG, his smart-alecky humor works just fine on there, but on CS, his smart-alecky persona doesn't work as good and he, like Peter Marshall can come out as a jerk!

So your computer, not you, typed "5" in one spot and "10" in another.
With all due respect, you're an idiot.

Exactly what does that look like? Because I know of only one thing that drops into a toilet seat, and I can relate that to your series of posts.
This whole thing could have been stopped if you had just bit the bullet and changed your topic title (whcih should have been right the first time). "Toilet" humor will only land you a string of insults.

Would y'all quit acting like a poo-butt @$%hole? This **** aint really going nowhere!

STOP. NOW. You sound like a 3 year old. You won't make 50 posts at the rate you're going.
-
"Poo-butt @$%hole"? How old are you, 5? Or am I giving you too much credit?
-
I just wanna quit and move on from all this. That's all. Could I move on? I'm not here to start nothing with anyone of that sort.

This is one of the most inane threads I have ever seen....and I clicked on it. You call the hosts really good and then you diss the hell out of them. Nice.
Oye vey.

Let's stick to criticizing people for what they do and not for what others do, shall we?
Jeez... I know we've been known to close threads when they get utterly derailed. Technically I'm not sure this qualifies because you can't derail something that never was on track in the first place, but I would strongly suggest that someone steer it back to actual content just in case.
(An aside to all in this thread who have made proctological, scatological, or related references in this thread: no more. I'm really not in the mood.)

I never meant to diss any of the great GS hosts like that, but this thread is meant to be an opinion. Oh and that thread about the GS themes isn't inane?
And for the record, I happen to love GS and for those of y'all that think I'm offending anyone or anything about the GS hosts, then I'm sorry this had to come down to this.
I'm really sorry to everyone on here that thinks I'm causing a rucus. I apologize for all the incovenience.

Actually, yeah, you did. Calling someone "overrated" isn't exactly praise.
but this thread is meant to be an opinion.
Now I honestly don't believe that you know what you mean.

Because you use the exact same name over there, sans the year, although you used that name here too, registering multiple accounts.
Lemme give you some advice, kid...These boards aren't GSN...and you won't be free from criticism and harsh remarks.
but I'm just trying to learn the ropes around here a little bit.
Then I suggest you post none, and read a lot more.
As for "overrated" hosts..I'd have to say Geoff Edwards, Bob Eubanks, and what is an unpopular opinion around here, Bill Cullen.

Mark has a reputation to keep up.

He just doesn't fit my style of an upbeat, uptempo host that I enjoy. I feel like he dragged games to a snails pace at time, and let his jokes go one for too long.
Cripes.

Nope, sorry, Mark. When you want to play the role of Pissy About Everything, you can fully expect to get it back when you pull out a boggler like this.

Apparently, he can.
If 1986 is in fact the year of his birth, that makes him 19 or 20...making his comments in the thread earlier that much more inexcusable.

I had always thought it would have been best for this board to close membership registration a few days after it was created.
I'm having second thoughts, as if it did happen, we wouldn't be "treated" to such wonderful threads, and their subsequent responses.
It's nice just to sit back and laugh.
-
You come to this board, give the impression you have the social skills of a five year old, then have the stones to "forgive us".
I am just so humbled that you would find the "compassion" in your "heart" to "forgive us".
Un-freakin-believable.
-
And another thing, if it hasn't been mentioned already.
How can a host be really good AND really overrated?
I know I'm just adding fuel, but I noticed it.
My bad.
EDIT: Wait, of course it was mentioned already.
Oh, God, it's contagious.
