I can see where Jack could prove difficult to work with or work for.

As for his faking the chatting at the end of each episode, perhaps Jack was paranoid or fearful that cynical game show fans might think he was giving the players answers to future questions?

Jack did seem a bit "clunky" at times but still did a masterful job of hosting Joker from 1972-75 and again 1977-84.  Wink on the other hand seemed far more personable.  Perhaps it's easier for hosts to be that way when they are not also producing the show, but then Monty Hall was very personable.

Makes me sad to think the only legendary game show hosts that are still alive and kicking are Wink, Bob Eubanks and Pat Sajak.
