when the users of a game show message board see a Winner's Circle–esque thread title like "Jewish Game Show Hosts," they immediately go into list-giving mode.

Going back in time, we had Robert Q Lewis, Larry Blyden and Bobby Van. According to Wiki, Art James was born to Russian immigrants.
My grandfather was a Russian immigrant, so Art may very well have been Jewish like me...but I have plenty of names here to help out my friend. Thanks, everybody.

Ken Ober (one of his first jobs was at a Jewish supermarket) and Mark L. Walberg.

Oh yeah, and Chuck Barris.

Was Gary Owens Jewish? I didn't know that. One name we're missing (unless I messed it) is Hal March

Was Gary Owens Jewish?
Wiki says his birth name was Gary Altman, and his mother's maiden name was Clark. It didn't mention any Jewish heritage.

Dunno about J.D. Roth, since Roth is a Jewish name.
