Pat Finn - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

When the revival of The Joker's Wild aired on TV in 1990 it marked the debut of Pat Finn and it's hard to believe that The Joker's Wild was the show that made Pat Finn a household name before starring in Shop Til You Drop and also hosted The Big Spin for The California Lottery but since then I haven't seen Pat Finn in any other game shows and it's surprising to me because Pat Finn is really talented and such a star for game shows and he should also return to the game show world and host another game show today
Is Pat Finn focusing on other projects at this time or is he still active in the game show world?

Hi, Bestie! Pat finn is the owner of the production company Rubicon Entertainment. So he is probably too busy now to host game shows. Too bad, he was a good one.

I go back to when Pat worked at Pittsburgh's NBC station WIIC-WPXI mostly doing weather from 1979 to the early '80s.

He is just 61 years old (only 2 years older than Drew Carey). I think he should have been brought back for the new edition of "The Joker's Wild." Anyone hear when that is supposed to debut on TBS???

I don't get the current "they have to be a comedian or a musician to be a game show host" fascination.

How about someone who has A) Actually has Game Show Host experience or B) at least have experience being a News Anchor/Reporter.
