Who is the best game show host of all time?

Re: In memory of Bob Barker, who is the best game show host of all time?

I'll throw out a vote for Jim Perry who kicked ass on Canadian game shows (with lame-o prizes like pen sets and venetian blinds) like Headline Hunters, Eye Bet and Definition before getting on Sale Of The Century.

I'm actually not a big metal fan. I do enjoy Jethro Tull, however. Although, it's been about five years since I've jammed out to Aqualung.

I love the old "Family Feud," and Combs was the first one I saw. I always liked his self-deprecating humor. Of course, then he hanged himself. Perhaps there were signs. ...

Bill Cullen

Wink Martindale

Richard Dawson (When he wasn't busy kissing people on Match Game 76)

I was referring to Tull absurdly winning the first Metal Grammy. And Jim Perry was awesome on Card Sharks. Speaking of that, have to put Perry's successor, Bob Eubank, up there, too.

Doesn't get better than Groucho.

But I'll toss Bob Eubanks out there for his impressive body of work on the Newlywed Game.

Don't forget another good one, Allen Ludden of Password.

Tom Kennedy and Bert Convey were also a couple of good ones as well.

I'd also throw out an honourable mention for Alex Trebel who hosted Halfwits, Hi-Q and Night School Hi-Q on SCTV.

I always liked the late Peter Tamarken from Press Your Luck...
