So far, nobody has mentioned the man who has hosted more game shows than anyone, Bill Cullen. He was a very good host who treated the contestants well and added humor to the proceedings. Though a lot of his shows were short-lived such as Blankety Blanks, Pass the Buck and the original Chain Reaction, Cullen made the show watchable.
Nowadays, I do agree with the post about good game shows hosts becoming hard to find. One host who deserves another show is Billy Gardell. The former Mike & Molly star was host of Monopoly Millionaires Club for two seasons and did a great job. It is hard to find someone who has the prficiency to keep the game moving and show empathy for the contestants as well as interact with celebrities.
