The producer is the host?

EUbanks also hosted-produced the not close to a game show Infatuation, and Wink hosted-produced Trivial Pursuit, and Boggle/Jumble/Shuffle, and the little-seen Travel Channel show Great Getaway Game.
Bill Armstrong had a producer role on 1976-77 Liar's Club as well as his hosting role.

[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'Dec 1 2003, 10:59 PM\'] Peter Tomarken had a supervising producer role on Wipeout, though that probably counts in a similar category to Barker on TPIR. [/quote]
Just out of curiosity, what was Peter's background in broadcasting prior to hosting a few game shows?

Essentially a struggling actor. He had a small role in the 1978 movie Heaven Can Wait(he played a porter as I recall reading), and did a few commercials. He was a magazine editor for Women's Wear Daily, as per the EOTVGS2. His first hosting gig was the Rodeo Drive pilot in 1980.
TV Favorites:
I believe that Bill Cullen was a producer for his hosted version of TPiR during part of its run.
SRIV94:
Maybe I'm reading the question incorrectly, but wouldn't Trebek count as having been producer AND host for the 1984-85 season or so of J!?
