Chuck and Pat were the only good ones :)

Merv Griffin has this idiosyncrasy of picking hosts out of fields totally unrelated. Rolf B (Wheel) and Mike Reilly (Monopoly) are two, but I am sure there were others.
We also muat consider that the formatting of Wheel changed big-time in 1983 when it was all-cash; no more Ceramic Dalmatian Shopping. In other words, the PUZZLES are the star. When it became all-cash + a bonus round, well, that was not the perk that Chuck had; he did what he could with the earlier format.
SO—based on that, AND based on the fact that Ryan is still in training, I give you in order:
(1) Pat Sajak
(2) Chuck Woolery
(3) Bob Goen with the $50 and $75 wedges
(4) Ryan Seacrest
(5) Rolf Benirschke
