Another foreign question:
« on: September 08, 2004, 08:38:16 PM »
Ever since Canadians like Alex Trebek and Monty Hall and Brits like Richard Dawson were very popular hosting American game shows, I had this question:

What foreign-born GS host, English or otherwise, would you think would make a great host here in the United States?

Bruce Forsyth. He hosted Hot Streak here for a brief 3 month span in 86. Only show he hosted here. Given a good show and timeslot, and he could do well

To answer my own question:

Tony Barber. If Jim Perry didn't do $ale of the Century on NBC in the US, Tony would've done a good job, actually, seeing how well this Brit (yes, Tony's from England, but he's hosted only game shows from Australia) did on the Nine Network version from Australia, which I would love to take a look at.

Watching you two talk is so cute.

Personally, I think there's a reason we haven't see Forsyth on American TV since 1986.

He was over-the-top in just about every way imaginable, and obnoxious?

I'll toss a vote for Gordon Elliott.

 Matt O. has noted the similarity to Furbies; I still think they're more like Ewalt and Abner from Ren & Stimpy. :-)

 Teletubbies...they make sound constantly, and yet no one understands what the hell it is they're saying.

I vote for the under 21 forum. Get em in there, and let em go nuts.

Incredible.  It's like have your own little language that only you and your identical twin can understand.

 Chris, you forgot about the repeats of "Play Your Cards Right" on IGSN.

 Um...maybe I missed something here... what under 21 forum? Speaking as an under 21-er, I think that's a pretty horrible idea if you're talking about regulating us to other boards until we're "of age". If you aren't, then I take it back.

BRING ON THE KILLFILE!
