The most-improved hosts/announcers

(1/6) > >>

SamJ93:
Who are some game show hosts & announcers who started out badly, but ended up being at least passable?
I thought of this because I seem to remember Mark L. Walberg getting a lot of flak when he first started out... although this may have just been because his early shows (Shop 'til You Drop, The Big Date) were themselves rather lacking in quality. On the announcer side, Jim Thornton was mediocre at best as a fill-in on TPiR, but definitely found his groove on Wheel.

MikeK:
My initial reaction was Mark L. too, for the same reason.  I think Mark L. started gaining legitimacy was with Russian Roulette.

Graham Elwood too.  Strip Poker?  Meh.  Cram?  Much better.

BillCullen1:
I thought George Gray improved quite a bit going from Extreme Gong to the syndie Weakest Link.

Long live Jeopardy:
Mike O'Malley was so incredibly hyper hosting Get the Picture but improved tremendously hosting GUTS/Global GUTS.

chris319:
The TPIR staff was impressed by Mark L.'s emcee audition. They thought he was "the guy".
