Today marks the 5 year anniversary of Peter Tomarken's tragic death. Some of the game show's he hosted were Hit Man, Press Your Luck, Wipeout, Bargain Hunters, Paranoia. What were your favorites and memories of one of the last true great game show hosts?

My fondest memory of Peter Tomarken was when I was a contestant on the game show Decades twice in the late 90's. The game was played by phone so of course I never got a chance to actually meet him but he was very nice to myself and the other contestants each time. He was a class act and I still miss him to this day.

Peter Tomarken's tragic death actually started my Press Your Luck obsession and I always have thought Peter should've been a bigger star in game shows because he seemed to be talented at hosting game shows he liked. I think when Peter Tomarken made his comeback to the game show world with Paranoia Peter Tomarken would become known as The Comeback Kid and became huge on GSN by hosting Prime Games. I think had Peter Tomarken had not died he still would be a huge star in game shows today. It is a shame that in game show hosts today you won't find game show hosts like Peter Tomarken that have talent to host game shows that are good. Peter Tomarken should be used as a role model for many upcoming game show hosts and will always be remembered for his awesomeness
