Longest gap between hosting gigs?

I think Sam’s math is a bit off. Should be 27 years between CC and Tug of Words. Was about to suggest Reege as well.

I've got a bigger gap with Jack: nine years between Concentration (1978) and You've Got to be Kidding (1987) (or seven if we count his one-off turn on Password Plus in '82).

Nine years (1976-85), though he did do Super Pay Cards and a few unsold pilots in the meantime.

You'd think with all the Numbers Rounds I've played along with on Countdown I wouldn't make a mistake like that. Face reddened, OP corrected...

Bob Zager:
Although not the largest, with a gap of a little over 8 years is Dick Clark, between the finale of Missing Links in 1964 and the premiere of $10,000 Pyramid in 1973.

All good. The last decade and change run together for me so I had to do the math a couple times before saying "Wait...was that really 27 years?" :P

I can't think of anyone who beats Ahmad's drought, but there was about a 12- or 13-year gap for Wink. Debt and Instant Reaction. Unless I'm forgetting another show he did, there's also a similar gap for Bob Goen with Born Lucky and That's the Question.
