I think you need to edit your post.

Title should read: Greatest Game Show Host

And your first post should be: Who is Alex Trebek?

Who is Bob Barker?

I kid, I'd go with Trebek but there's definitely a debate.

Who is Richard Dawson?

He had a pretty good run on Family Feud and made a pretty good villain on The Running Man; plus I think he started or at least contributed heavily to the trope, that all game show hosts try to jam their tongues down contestants’ throats. Pig n’ The Poke comes to mind on European Vacation as one of many examples.

Who is Gene Rayburn?

Damon Killian, obviously.

Alex was obviously a very decent man. He'll be missed for sure.

Most of these iconic game show hosts had a schtick that kind of made them cool. Bob Barker, Bob Eubanks, Richard Dawson... they all had that sort of charming ladies man quality. But Alex Trebeck was just a total class act. By the way, we are probably long overdue for a beloved female game show host. At least Steve Harvey has broken through to make it not such a lily white role.

There are and have been women game show hosts....it's just that hardly anyone watched their shows.

I’m not denying that. Just saying none that have been beloved.

Dawson is kind of my hero, he kissed damn near every female contestant on the Feud and Match Game. Although Gene Rayburn had some balls, he would get out his breath freshener and kiss the new female celebrities on the show.

Met Bob Barker when I was a small kid. All I can remember is he talked so fast I couldn't understand anything he said.

Seeing some of the Jeopardy Guest Host makes me realize how good Trebek was. My hearing has declined and Katie Couric happens to speaks in a tone I barely hear. Can't listen to the show, have to read the questions. I'm sure there are some that find Dr Oz fascinating however I would lean more toward taking a nap.

But they were all excellent compared to Aaron Rodgers, damn does he suck balls. He doesn't enunciate well complicated with a bit of a nasal quality to his voice. And he speaks so slow its painful waiting a sentence to be completed. My wife has been amazed at the frequency my answers come prior to the question being read. Wish my ears could tune out Aaron and tune in Katie.

Was reading somewhere how Aaron Rodgers thought he was great on the show. How he could be the permanent host and still manage football. Meanwhile I'm laughing my ass off at how bad he is.
