Ron Ely had no trouble laughing at the contestants when they gave dumb answers to the puzzles or wildly incorrect titles to songs on Face the Music. In one of the episodes Wink recently posted, he asked one of the contestants "When you look at the words, don't you ever look at the title of the song?"

I know Trebek had a few quips over his 36 years at the helm of Jeopardy, especially one in particular about none of the players knowing anything about football terms.
Jack Barry during the Joker's Wild when a contestant needed a triple or 3 Jokers to have a chance to win...
"Solar System...Pot Luck...NOPE you cannot win!"
Though not a host, have to give an honorable mention to the "You Fool!" fiasco from Hollywood Squares with Gilbert, may he rest in peace.
