Host language
« on: November 17, 2018, 11:31:08 AM »
How much input does a show's host have in the language used in the hosting of the program?   

We know all about Jim Caldwell's references to the "red categories being special categories."  I'm watching some Tic Tac Dough episodes from 1980 and Wink had a habit around this time of when there were about 3 boxes left on the board saying "The categories that come up in these boxes will determine who wins and who loses."  Is it the producer who tells them when to say what?  (I always have thought that particular phrasing was awkward.)

I'm going to guess the producer writes the material for the cue cards, and the host takes it from there, deviating and ad-libbing wherever needed.

I was hoping this would be about Bob Barker talking dirty to the models.
