Past or present: game shows, news shows, talk shows, etc. are there any shows you don't watch because you just don't like the host(s)?

For me it's Kelly Ripa, Wendy Williams, Dr. Phil, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, Steve Allen, Bob Barker.

All of the late night shows, girl talk shows (The Talk, The Real, The View etc.), anything with Amy Schumer in it (she's not that funny and looks like a potato), Network news, cable news, TV shows with overtly political messaging, the Olympics. That's what I got so far.

Anything with Ellen DeGeneres or Oprah.

"Family Feud Canada", on CBC. The host played a nitwit high school teacher on "Mr. D" and I just can't get that out of my head.

Add Ellen Degeneres and I will agree with you. And in sports, Joe Buck.

I rarely watch talkshows at all anymore. But the little bit of TV ads I have seen of some of the hosts, I don’t know how people can stand shows such as Wendy Williams or Dr. Phil or the view or any of them really. I will rarely catch late night Conan… If there is someone on there I want to see although really it’s more of aFluke that I would even catch it because I just saw rarely watch broadcast TV late at night. If anything I’ll turn on some thing to stream.

I agree with the View hosts. Also, Dr. Phil. One thing you can't deny about that guy. He shows other people at their worst while showing his own family at their best! The shameless family promotion!

Judge Judy (not exactly a host but hard to listen to for any length of time). Steve Harvey - no thanks. I preferred Gene Rayburn over Alec Baldwin hosting Match Game.

Many years ago we thought Bert Parks was cringe-worthy hosting the Miss America Pageant.

ANYTHING with Steve Harvey. ANYTHING with Tyra Banks.

I used to love the Tonight Show, but don't like Jimmy Fallon. I don't generally watch game shows or talk shows. I wouldn't watch The View, for instance, no matter who was hosting it.

Agreed, and Thom Brennaman. Two peas in a pod: sportscasters, with famous sportscaster dads, who talk about themselves and everything else instead of the game they're supposed to be calling.

Troy and Joe have a "man-crush" on each other.
