If he were alive today would Bernie Mac be successful as a game show host? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVLOVER4LIFE · 03-23-2012, 11:24 PM

if you remember the original kings of comedy..then you may have seen them host a few game show such as D.L. Hughley who hosted a one week stint on the syndicated version of Millionaire,while Cedric The Entertainer made sure that "The Price Is Right" for antiques on NBC's It's Worth What?
and finally Steve Harvey ruined francthises as host for one week of Millionaire and the now offically destroyed by him Family Feud; but that's neither here or their.

the main topic of what i want to talk about is the late Bernie Mac who sadly departed our lives in 2008 (R.I.P) but let me ask you guys this question....
if he were alive today would Bernie Mac be successful as a game show host? yes or no

if you said yes then on what game show (classic or current) would you like to see him host.

but...

if you said no, then tell me why do you think that he would fail as a game show host

in other words...vote and comment

I think that Bernie Mac would have made a very good game show hots. He has the personality, humor and enthusiasm that would work in his favor, depending on the show. The one classic show that would have been good for him would be Match Game. He would have interacted well with both the celebrities and the contestants.

As for Steve Harvey on Family Feud, there have been some posts that have rather negative about his performance as host. To me, he has breathed a lot of fresh air into the long-running syndicated game show and he has been very funny. Give him a chance. You will be impressed.

First of all let me say I like Steve Harvey as the host of Family Feud. Second I think Bernie Mac would have made a good host for Price as Right. He would be much less bland than Drew Carrey.

I think he would be better for feud than Steve Harvey

I think Bernie Mac could've been a good Game Show Host for ANY Game Show. He had the charisma and that.
