Actually, that was on "The New Treasure Hunt."  He wore tuxedos from After Six. [/quote]
 And his leisure suits on Jackpot were from Before Six.

 You sure they just didn't cost Six Dollars? (groan)

I know Bergeron wore Rick Pallack on the first couple of seasons, but doesn't Bert Pulitzer supply his wardrobe now?

Ain't THAT the truth.

I have NEVER seen a GS host wearing Brooks Brothers. For the same reason I've never seen one wear Armani. Both, however, are available for your professional-wear needs.[/quote]
Newton wore Brooks Brothers on the first season of "Whammy!", of all shows.  He just didn't wear a tie.

John Davidson seemed to use lesser-known brands for his suits...on HS, they were from The Men's Store @ Sears, and two separate suppliers on $100K Pyramid: Prestige of Sherman Oaks (1st season), and Grief Studio (2nd).

I also remember that Dick Clark wore Robert Stock on Pyramid.

And Henry Grethel, too.

I think so. They also supplied Bob Eubanks when he did the mid-late 90's "Newlywed Game"

EDIT: Another one I just noticed was Petrocelli, which Jack Narz wore on NYSI [fortunately, that RealVideo of the credit roll [from the Page O' Clips] came in handy!]

And how soon we forget Mr. Guy, made popular by Alex Trebek in his "Classic Concentration" days.

ObMenswear/Gameshows: The only suit in my collection is a Fioravanti, which is one of the brands Eubanks wore on CS86. Thank goodness for thrift stores...

Dick wore Rubin Brothers and later Botany 500 in the NYC days of Pyramid

 Chuck was in Augustus on WOF, Ratner/Dimitri and later Bernini on Love Connection, and Pierre Cardin on Scrabble. I can still hear Charlie Tuna doing those plugs in my head.

 GrEIf as in Perry Ellis for the Greif Companies? That company's clothes were also worn by Trebek later in the runs of Classic Concentration and in that same era on J!, and he also wore that company's clothes on TTTT91.

 CHuck wore Lacrosse clothing(a division of Warren Sewell CLothing Company), on LC in the late 80s, and I think he wore that company's clothes on Scrabble late in its run too.

 ALex first wore Mr. Guy clothing on Battlestars, before they got the big time plugs when he started wearing them on J! in 1984. Peter Marshall also wore Mr. Guy on All-Star Blitz(he wore Rubin Brothers clothes, among probably other company's clothes, on the original Squares).

Fioravanti was also worn by Henry Polic II on Double Talk and David Sparks on 1986-87 Crosswits.

Bill Cullen's wardrobe on "Winning Streak" was from Barney's-New York.  I wonder if they provided Geoff's on "Jackpot!" as well.

I wonder where some of the GS hosts of the 50s and early 60s got their suits? Probably from THEIR OWN closets! Or maybe they shared their wardrobe during those early days. Imagine some alert viewer back then turning to his/her mate and saying, 'Look! George DeWitt is wearing one of Randy Merriman's neckties!'
