I think I personally look like a very constipated Jim Peck.

I also had a friend tell me he thought Bert looked like Tom Jones.

 That's not unusual.

The story I heard about Monopoly states that Reilly was indeed a test contestant. The tryout host (it wasn't Merv) blew, and Reilly jokingly said to Merv, \"I could do better than that guy.\"

For what it's worth, the host of the Monopoly pilot was Peter Tomarken, who did (in my opinion) a capable job.  
The pilot also featured a little person in a tuxedo to move around the board.

Merv has used unknowns before (one that comes to mind is Arizona newscaster Ron Hoon, who hosted a pilot called Buzzword)  And, Pat Sajak was a national unknown when selected for Wheel.  So he's apparently willing to take a chance on new blood.
