Title: GS personality of the 00's
Post by: The Pyramids on July 11, 2005, 10:29:21 PM

He was a good player on 'Pyramid,' big on 'Dancing w/ the Stars' and was great on 'To Tell the Truth' (hands down the best remake Pearson tv made). How do you think John O'Hurley would be as on host 'Family Feud?'

I like the idea. He'd sure be differnt than folksy Richard K., and more versitile in my opinion.

Considering the decade is only half over....I'd say its a little premature to place such a "dubious" honor on someone.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Stu Scott is the most prolific game show host of the decade so far.

Hmmm....he could work on FF.  He has already proved to be a relaxed and quick-witted host.  He would definitely be more comfortable on that kind of format than Richard Karn is.  I can't even stand to watch FF anymore because Richard Karn, to me, has the personality of a robot.  He even comes across as condescending sometimes.

Not a bad idea.....

Oh, I dunno. The Michael Jackson courtroom extravaganza was The Trial Of The Century. Seemingly, nothing for the next 95 years will top it.
Richard Karn's okay. Leave him and his doubled points right where they are. Burton, on the other hand.....at least it's not Daniel Rosen.
Besides, John O. will be busy hosting Temptation Of The Millennium....or is it too premature to call something an anything of the millennium?

I would think that John O'Hurley would be better suited for a game like $otC.

I haven't seen everything of his, but I haven't seen anything where I didn't like him.  I think he'd be best suited to either a straight quiz or a revival of Password or Pyramid.  (In the latter case, it would be a waste of a good player, though.)

Incidentally, he's become a radio personality of sorts.  He voices the fictitious owner of a station here that recently changed formats.  I assume the company that owns this station is using the same plugs in their other markets.

The station where I work got a demo CD from William Morris, with samples of Mr. O'Hurley's work in radio station imaging and voiceovers.

FF needs a warmer personality, I think. Maybe he'd be good for "Deal or No Deal." He's got a cool, sneaky side that might be appropriate.

Incase people here didn't know, O'Hurley did a pilot run for "Scrabble Challenge" a couple years back, and didn't do too bad!  In a later remake of the pilot,  Kennedy took the stage.

But he's got the right personality for DoND, I definately agree!
