Son of Dream Show of '05

[Mike Tennant]

We now know on which game shows most folks here would like to appear as a contestant.

Now comes the million-dollar question (no lifelines left):  If you could host one game show in all of TV history, what show would you host?

I choose TPIR, just as I did in the previous thread.  I also choose, as in the previous thread, to host it in the early to mid-80s, when I'd have more time to spend with the contestants.  I'd prefer to run shows with looser formats that allow more time for chitchat and joking around with the contestants.  I don't want to get stuck behind a podium asking one question after another.  The variety of games and contestants on TPIR would keep it interesting, whereas I would get bored with a format like J! very quickly.

I now throw it open to the crowd for your own responses to the question.

Pyramid, again. Lots of interaction, the opportunity to watch and play along with a great game, and the idea of being able to build up that anticipation and belt out a hearty "Here is your FIRST subject!" appeals greatly to the announcer in me.

Plus you get a damned cool podium.

Hmmmm. Just one, eh? Remember that, folks. He just asked for one.
Here's my one: Jackpot.

Last time I said I'd like to be a contestant on any form of Password. Now as far as HOSTING a show goes, it'd have to be Press Your Luck.

[Ian Wallis]

Just from reading the first few responses, it seems that some of us would like to host the show we'd most like to be on......and I'll continue the trend.

Although "Press Your Luck" would be a very close second, I'd have to say the show I'd most like to host is "Who Wants to be a Millionaire".

I'd love to host Weakest Link and tell off some of the idiots they had on the show.  Kinda like this board, at times.

[PYLdude]

Well, you know...if I can only pick one, I'd have to keep it in the quiz type family. One show I'd want to host would be Twenty One, for two reasons: 1) I was a fan, and 2) the gameplay, for the most part, is fairly solid.

Having just obtained a copy of this ULTRA-RARE show in my collection this past summer, I'd love to be host of Video Village, maybe I could persuade Michael Burger to be my "assistant mayor" and have Dean Goss as "Deano the Cop."

Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the 'Teresa Ganzel of the Big Board!'

[Strikerz04]

I'm going to stand by the "$ale of the Century" because it does take alot of persuasion, alot of speed in asking questions, and the ability to hold suspense...

...and even though I wouldn't be Jim Perry, I'd like to be pretty damned close ;-)

[The Pyramids]

I'd like to get behind the wheel of 'Famiy Feud'.

And probabaly be told after the show 'don't quit your day job.'

[BrandonFG]

Probably "Family Feud"...I'd like to think I'm pretty quick on my toes, and I might get to kiss the la-dieeeees, or pull a Peter Griffin. ;-)

Besides I get to D0UBL3 TH3 P01NTS!!!11!!!!!!1! B3D BATH & B3Y0ND!1!!!

"Tic Tac Dough".  I mean... I just watched a tape of Jim Caldwell... and I HAVE to be better than him at it.

[DJDustman]

Dayum, someone took the Sale idea.  I would as well LOVE to host Sale of the Century. It's THE favorite of mine. I hate bragging but I think I have the somewhat potential to read the questions fast and have the intense personality to keep the show moving.

[bclark71]

I pick Family Feud.  If I had to pick an era (hey, this is fantasy), I'd go with 1978-82, when it was about the hottest show on the tube.

Password Plus, my favorite version of the game.
