Subject: Who Hosts What? (FINITO, WHISTLEDOG IS OUR REIGNING CHAMPION!)

Written By: Doc Brown on 11/07/06 at 1:57 pm

Well, we all seem to act like a bunch of game show hosts around here, so I thought it would be funny to make a quiz about game show hosts! ::) I've given you the names of hosts from the late 70's to today, now you just tell me the shows. Sorry, but there aren't any Lifelines or Daily Doubles on this quiz, but two of them have two possible answers. Limit's 4 to begin, Good luck!

1. Todd Newton - Hollywood Showdown - nd

2. Peter Tomarken - Press Your Luck - WD

3. Chuck Woolery - Lingo, Scrabble - WD

4. Ken Ober - Remote Control - Sister

5. Anne Robinson - The Weakest Link - nally

6. Tom Bergeron - Hollywood Squares - WD

7. Marc Summers - Double Dare - Quirk

8. Mark L. Walberg - Russian Roulette - nally

9. Jim Perry - Card Sharks, $ale Of The Century - WD

10. Craig Shoemaker - My Generation - Sister

11. Richard Karn - Family Feud - wolf

13. Bob Saget - 1 Vs. 100 - loki

Score: WD - 6, nally - 3, Sister - 2, wolf - 1, Quirk - 1, loki - 1, nd - 1, lorac - 2.

Of those listed, I only know Anne Robinson (already answered by Jeff) and Bob Saget. I know the latter hosted America's Funniest Home Videos, but I don't know if that's what you're looking for. :-\\

I was thinking of AFV but that's not really a game show.

I know about cash prizes...but I doubt that it involves "contestants"...after all, the studio audience is filled with people all over the U.S. who have submitted their home videos.
