Default Who do you think would make a good game show host?

It could be a comedian, actor, actress, sports personality, etc...

Great thread! I've always thought Ellen would make a great gameshow host - she's the only talkshow host I'll tune into when I don't have anything else to watch, and she's definitely got the personality a gameshow host would need.

And I may be in the minority here, but I always thought Roseanne would make a great gameshow host. I don't know why - just something about her would make me watch her gameshow.

Ellen is certainly an interesting choice, (and a good one) I thought that Norm Mcdonald would make a great host. I always found him to be hilarious.

He kind of reminds me of George Hamilton.

Definitely a comedian of some sort. I would say John O'Hurley, but he's already been a game show host! My favorite one, actually! Welll, how about Gary Shandling?

John Goodman is an interesting choice - I never though of him, but now that I do, he probably would make a good gameshow host.

How about Sherman Hemsley? IMO, he'd make a great gameshow host!

Ugh.

No offense...to each their own, of course...but I'd rather poke sharpened pencils in my eyes and ears than be exposed to Ellen in any capacity.

She'd fall into Drew Carey status as a game show host.

I. Love. You.

Such artistry in this post...and it explains exactly how I feel too!

I think Cameron Mathison would be a kick ass game show host. He's a better emcee than he is an actor.
