There may have been others earler but I think one of  the first might have been the Dennis James' Hosted PDQ in 1965-69

A quick glance at the GSE...it appears to be "Everything's Relative" from February 1965.

We can go at least a decade earlier for "Professor Yes 'n No":

 If you want to call that a game show in the sense that we know a game show, and I'd do that only tenuously, if at all.

 The early 60s syndicated run of Stump the Stars(c. 1962-63)?

What's My Line (1968) was the first daily syndicated game show (which set the precedent for our present 5-day-a-week syndicated game show scheduling. Ah, for the good old days of weekly/bi-weekly syndication of the 70s!)

P.S. What do you know? This is my 100th post!

EDIT: You happy now, Zach?

 Syndicated WML predated Syndie TTTT by a year.

The EOTVGS lists "Home Run Derby" in 1960 as a syndicated game show.  Syndicated? Yes. Game show? YOU MAKE THE CALL!!!
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

 "Good old days"?

Aren't there still a fair number of hour-long shows once a week that are syndicated (and usually seen on weekends as far as I can tell)?

Yeah, but those are not first run shows. Those shows are reruns.

 Which of the shows mentioned above weren't first run?  I didn't find any.
