Game show hostess seems to be one field women don't tend to get into too much, I guess. At least it doesn't seem like I've seen too many...
I didn't know Vicki Lawrence and Betty White had hosted game shows- that's cool! Meredith Viera did a good job on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? But I think my favorite would have to be Vanna White on "Wheel of Fortune".

Vicki Lawrence was the daytime host of Win Lose or Draw on NBC for two years from 1987 to 1989. Both that and the 1987-1990 Syndicated edition with Bert Convy (Robb Weller hosted the 1989-1990 season) premiered on the same day.
For the record, the Syndicated edition came first, as a pilot for it was taped before the daytime show was even thought of. |

I think Betty White hosted a short-lived show back in the '60's.
