Title: Youngest game show host?
Post by: gamed121683 on April 28, 2020, 08:28:17 PM: Recently, a friend and I were wondering who was the youngest person to ever host a game show? Doing some research, we found three contenders for the answer:

* Hal Sparks was 18 when he hosted Treasure Mall.

* J.D. Roth & Ryan Seacrest were both 19 when they first hosted Fun House & Wild Animal Games, respectively.

Has their been anybody younger than 18 that has hosted a nationally aired game show?

Alongside a 17 year old Seacrest, by the way.
