Yeah, I loved Groucho.

Trebek and Jeopardy are both long time favorites.

And Gene Rayburn, who was the image of the best doctor I've ever had.

LOL

I’m old and liked all the old ones. I will add Bob Barker. As a kid, I had a crush on him, saw Truth or Consequences in person when the show traveled to the Twin Cities. Bert Convey was good, too.

He’s an actor but has hosted Card Sharks recently-Joel McHale is very funny.

Chuck Barris, because he always looked like he was having fun.

Chuck Barris was a trip on the Gong Show!

I also liked Bob Eubanks on the Newlywed Game.

John Daly was great. I liked Tom Kennedy, Allen Ludden, and Bill Cullen, and enjoyed Dick Clark on $10,000 Pyramid. Haven't watched game shows regularly in 40 years.

We are big fans of Family Fued.We like to watch while eating dinner. I do wish, they would get another host. We can`t understand a thing Steve Harvey says. I do know that will never happen though.
