Well, I see 7...  If you don't count reality Eurotrash, then I count 4l.

I counted three bona fide game show hosts...Philbin, Seacrest, and Vieira. Bona fide meaning an actual game, and not a reality show with game elements.

/Remember "Click"?
//Not the Adam Sandler movie
///The one that displaced "Now You See It" way back when...

For some reason, George Lopez surprised me. I know he has the Nick@Nite deal (I won't even get into how horrible that network has gotten) along with syndication, but it still surprises me to see him on the list. For a sitcom star to be on the list, I would expect Ray Romano or Charlie Sheen.

Well, if you've seen the new logo (along with the fact that NAN and TVL are in separate MTV Networks groups now--NAN's in the Nick group and TVL's in the group with Spike and Comedy Central), it's obvious that NAN's now about bridging the kids shows, not about classic-classic or recent "classic" TV.

But they are doing something on-topic as an interstitial:

I assume this has already started airing.  If your local multiplex shows ScreenVision pre-shows before movies instead of "First Look" or "The 20," you may recognize Bradford How as the host of those segments (which I believe are shot in Chicago--they did a bit a few months ago that was shot outdoors and with CTA signs noticeable in the background).
