Impressive for a first year rookie host, without a doubt

X!X!X! Three automatic strikes! Dawson was host of the 1974 edition of Masquerade Party; and years prior to that, hosted Lucky Pair.

Cordially,

I was pretty impressed with how good of a job he did! His comments after contestants' answers were relevant and weren't nearly as annoying as Karn's, and he was able to keep the game moving and appeared to be genuinely having a good time.

My local affiliate, on the other hand, aired a clip of Harvey standing on the FF set "reminding us" that we can hear him on a local morning radio talk show at least three times between commercials during the last 10 minutes of the broadcast.

I'd wager if you have Lyrics, just hang on. They'll probably replace it with FF

But I like his approach. We've long passed the days of the "professional game show host" but Steve takes the right amount of time to ad-lib without crushing the flow of game play.
