Places named after game show hosts

[vtown7]

Not planned, but eerie nevertheless: in my hometown of Newmarket, Ontario, there is a "John Bowser cresent".

/Sha-na-na, then
//And in North Bay, where my parents live, there's a street intersection that's Third/Ferguson.  Say them together, fast...
///Mr. Reynolds, you rang in.

Am I being obvious in suggesting the town of Truth or Consequences?

Not really, because the OP is looking for game show hosts.  Don't worry, I blinked for a second too.

Yes, in my home borough, the Bronx... the only one of the five boroughs connected to the US mainland   ;-)

And let's add an honor for the host of It's News To Me, The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University.

Are you taking foreign hosts too?

Here's a street in Rome titled to Corrado Mantoni (1924-1999), the very first host on Italian TV back in 1949.  He was known for inventing his own gameshows instead of copying american formats.  

(look for clips in the appropriate thread in the next few days!)

Then how about Monty Hall Drive in Cathedral City, California (suburb of Palm Springs).

Neat, neat category, Dr. Bear.  Well done.

Surely Mike Wallace has something named after him?  Unfortunately, it's a common enough name that I can't find anything specifically named for the 60 Minutes presenter, and not some other Mike Wallace.

Actually, I referred to both in my earlier post, but it was nice to see the street sign for the first one. :-)

Not at his alma mater (Michigan) other than a fellowship he partially endows.  Building names here either require that you were once president of the University or an 8-figure donation.
