Tom Kennedy
Bill Cullen
Wink Martindale
Monty Hall
Bob Barker
Bob Eubanks
Alex Trebeck
Jack Barry
Allen Ludden
Gene Rayburn
Dick Clark
Jim Perry

I thought Richard Dawson was too cocky (and the kissing was weird), and Pat Sajak always seemed bored. Just my opinion.

George Gray (syndicated version of Weakest Link) - he never failed to make me laugh. I wrote him a letter and he sent me an autographed picture! It says, "Monika, you are so sweet! Thanks for bein' my STRONGEST link! Goodbye! George".

Awesome list. Those are a lot of my favorites too.

I think I may be one of the few people who actually enjoyed Richard Karn as the host of Feud. I even liked him better than Ray Combs. I also loved David Ruprecht on "Supermarket Sweep."
