If I understood it correctly, the original question was more about the quirky things a host says or does repeatedly without realizing it. [/quote]
Would Chuck Barris' clapping on GONG qualify in that instance? I may be wrong, but I don't think the occasional claps throughout his intros in the early days of GONG were planned. It wasn't until about a year-and-a-third into his run on GONG that it became a bit that involved the audience.
