He also hosted a syndicated show called Wipeout which I thought was decent but lasted just one season. It had a great bonus round. He also hosted Paranoia for FOX Family (I believe) in 1990. He was supposed to host Monopoly on ABC but that didn't happen.

Correction: Paranoia was from the spring of 2000, and yes, Fox Family (before it became ABC Family) was the cable network that had it.
