Just ran one from Westwood One. "Quizmaster Mark 'The Beast' Labett" is mentioned in the spot. No mention of question reader Brooke.

Why would she be? She plays a very secondary role in the show, in my opinion.
Or did I just get 8/10ed?

I just wanted to highlight this for posterity; that the host of a game show plays "a secondary role."
(I suppose you could say that the host is secondary to the contestants. I wouldn't, as a good host shares the spotlight in a game of give-and-take with the contestants, but you could say that.)

I'm going to guess that Jimmy was merely commenting on the use of the term "Quizmaster" (almost assuredly intended as "quiz master") as applied to the panelist (on a one-man panel) as opposed to the host, rather than the escalation-in-aggressiveness that Mark turned it into.

Are you watching the show for Brooke, or are you watching to see if the contestants can beat Mark?

Since I don't get GSN, I'm not a regular viewer. To your disingenuous bear-trap of a question, I say "Yes. Yes I am."

Yes. I always have thought "Quiz master" was in reference to the host, or question reader. While just a matter of word order, but maybe "Master of the Quiz" would have been a more apt description for Mark Labett.

I also heard the radio ad this morning, on 1010 WINS, a major newsradio station here in NYC. I'll definitely be watching new eps of The Chase starting July 8.
