As all of you have already posted, what a terrible loss.

This guy was great at his job and I felt like I knew him.

Much respect to Alex and his family and friends.

No way, broseph, I said it there: Chick (also a game show host lest we forget).


My sincere apologies for the oversight.

Monty Hall and Richard Dawson (you have to watch the compilation of him kissing family feud ladies by the hundreds) deserve mention


Yes, absolutely, I should have mentioned those two. Steve Harvey is also quite entertaining as the current host of the Feud. Worst host of that show? I'll say Richard Karn.


Richard Dawson was awesome in The Running Man.


As was Jesse The Body Ventura! LOL.

Who was Art Fleming.




The two greatest hosts of the only game show worth watching both succumbed to pancreatic cancer.


In the late 80’s Art had a Sunday night Trivia Spectacular on radio. They played it on KMOX radio in St. Louis and I listened often. Four hours of wall to wall trivia.

I don't know if you're a fan of the Boys on Amazon but Homelander totally reminds me of Captain Freedom.

I saw the documentary on how that one guy figured out how to beat the Whammies on Press Your Luck. It was never aired, of course. It showed him kicking ass and Tomarken had this look and sound to his voice that signaled "UH OH...This is not good." And Wink Martindale. That's one I forgot. Perfect game show host name. Real name Winston.


We can’t forget a coked up Chuck Barris.


Was he on that mid 70s era show that had Richard Dawson as a player a lot? Lucille Ball, etc? Paul Lynde as well, who did the sexual innuendo answers. Not Hollywood Squares, but some other guess my answer type show. OK, now I see Omar w/ Monty Hall. That may be who I'm thinking of, but the show escapes me. The game show channel replays said show.

Jim Brown = Fireball. I just learned definitively a year or so ago after 100 views of The Running Man that he was Fireball. I learned it from a youtube comment. Before then, I used to think that Fireball looked like Jim Brown. DUH! I don't ever remember watching the credits intently, that's why. The Running Man dancers also had 1987 Lakergurlz in it. There's a cute brunette, slim, who definitely was on the squad.

Yeah, that's the one. Weird, boozy game show. Older clientele probably watched that because the guests were mostly older stars after their careers had run down. Lucy was in an ep that I saw, e.g.

Dawson went in for the teenaged daughters and young teenies, too. He gave them more of a peck at least. More often than not the ladies consented because he was debonair to someone from Toledo. When he was brought back in the 90s for a brief stint, he obviously dropped the kissing. He had a wooden tree with suckers that guests pulled out and some of them had black sticks indicating some sort of prize, but he would double kiss them for good luck, too. He was a letch, haha. I saw this one clip of his son coming on stage, one he hadn't seen for a year or so and he cried and they hugged for a long time, so he had a heart in there. Donald doesn't do that to Barron.

You know it's funny with Arnold. Few people realize that his most iconic lines came mainly from Commando, Running Man and the original Predator. Granted THE iconic line came from Terminator.

"Remember when I promised I would kill you last? I LIED!"

"Please don't disturb my friend. He's dead tired."

"Let off some steam, Bennett!"

All of those were from Commando. My favorite line in The Running Man is by the old lady, actually. As Ahhnold is starting to kick ass in the game, Killian (Richard Dawson's character) tries to assure the people out there "we're just experiencing technical difficulties", and the old lady snaps back "bullsh*t!" Loved that.

Haha, that same ol gal said, "I can vote for anyone I want! And I vote for Ben Richards. He's one meeaaan mother (bleeper)..."

Dawson had a funny line with her that nodded to Family Feud: "Won'tchu gimme a kiss. But remember.....NO TONGUES!" (extras in audience laugh actual laffs)

I hope that the producers of Jeopardy eschew the industry practice of recycling game show hosts. Trebek and Fleming succeeded as they were "professorial" in their delivery, warmth, timely interjection of humor and lack of pretension, much like a cool college professor.
