View Full Version : Top Five Female Game Show Hosts? EuellG 02-21-2014, 03:33 PM Mine are Meredith Vieira, Anne Robinson, Betty White, Arlene Francis and Vanna White Vahan 02-21-2014, 03:53 PM In no order: Vicki Lawrence Betty White Vanna White Summer Bartholomew Couldn't think of another MacLeaper 02-21-2014, 04:21 PM Game show hostess seems to be one field women don't tend to get into too much, I guess. At least it doesn't seem like I've seen too many... I didn't know Vicki Lawrence and Betty White had hosted game shows- that's cool! Meredith Viera did a good job on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? But I think my favorite would have to be Vanna White on "Wheel of Fortune".:) :cool: Vahan 02-21-2014, 04:30 PM Vicki Lawrence was the daytime host of Win Lose or Draw on NBC for two years from 1987 to 1989. Both that and the 1987-1990 Syndicated edition with Bert Convy (Robb Weller hosted the 1989-1990 season) premiered on the same day. For the record, the Syndicated edition came first, as a pilot for it was taped before the daytime show was even thought of. Coffeecup 02-21-2014, 09:34 PM Brooke Burns: Dog Eat Dog and now The Chase.

McGillicuddy 02-22-2014, 01:38 PM I think Betty White hosted a short-lived show back in the '60's. Lakeboy 02-22-2014, 03:38 PM I think Betty White hosted a short-lived show back in the '60's. Betty White hosted "Just Men" in 1983. It replaced the long running soap opera "The Doctors". It only ran for 3 months because it was in NBC's Noon death time slot. Betty did win an emmy for the show. I thought Vicki Lawrence was great on Win, Lose or Draw. Mr. Television 02-22-2014, 04:36 PM Co-host also counts. I wouldn't even consider her a co-host. She mainly just turns the letters. bmasters9 02-22-2014, 05:49 PM Co-host also counts. If co-hosts (models, etc.) also count, then I would have to say Summer Bartholomew from Jim's $ale. She started the last day of '84, and ran all the way through to the end in 1989. McGillicuddy 02-22-2014, 07:46 PM Betty White hosted "Just Men" in 1983. It replaced the long running soap opera "The Doctors". It only ran for 3 months because it was in NBC's Noon death time slot. Betty did win an emmy for the show. Oh, it was 1983. But that's the show I was thinking of. And it was the amazing Betty White that won an Emmy for a game show that lasted 3 months!!!! 70s show watcher 02-22-2014, 08:25 PM Betty White hosted "Just Men" in 1983.

I am sure my local NBC station did not carry because they didn't carry many shows that aired at Noon. I never saw it until Youtube came along. I agree the show is terrible. Even Betty White couldn't save this one. |
