both men had hosted hit goodson-todman game shows in the 70's
both men had their hit game shows airing on CBS in the 70's

but most importantly...

both men have hosted their hit game shows on CBS with a long, skinny, pencil-thin microphone...

but which one of there pencil-thin microphones is the best and the most memorable of all-time?

Barker's or Rayburn's....You decided!


vote and comment

I voted for Gene Rayburn! He used his skinny microphone to tell us just how dumb Dumb Dora really is!!

Gene Rayburn's Match Game microphone was definitely the longest used by any game show host.

I guess that goes only for Bob Barker and Jim Perry (which he didn't use it for long I think).
