I'll go first- Peter Marshall. We were both born on March 30th.
-
Apparently, I share a birthday with Stuart Scott.
-
Monty Hall and Regis Philbin.
-
The closest I can come is Larry Csonka, from the game-show-esque American Gladiators. Unless Humphrey Bogart, Gary Sandy, or--dear god, no--Karl Rove hosted a game show...
-
I can get within a degree or less: Ahmet Zappa, Emmitt Smith, and Dan Patrick.
/Was a good day for athletes: Rod Smith, Josh Beckett, John Smoltz, Ray Lewis, Justin Morneau
//And Ryan Leaf
///Guess they can't all be winners
-
I've got no clue on hosts, but I was born the day Pick a Pair debuted. That's good enough for me. :-)
-
If I was to label Johnny Carson as a game show host, then that's what I'll go with as far as sharing birthdays is concerned(10/23).
-
For mine, I have to go across the Atlantic - Chris Tarrant of UK WWTBAM? shares my birthday.
-
The $64,000 Challenge host Ralph Story

On my fourth birthday Switch? premiered. No host, sadly.
-
Tom Kennedy and (even though it was one and done) Jackie Gleason.
-
Nothing for me, although I see I share a birthday with an Englishman named Monty Halls (http://\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2509819/\"), presenter of Great Ocean Adventures.
-
Joe Garagiola (February 12, 1926).
-
Mine is Feb 7th, the same as Rolf Benirschke
-
None.
-
Nov. 1: Bill Anderson and gs panelist/celebritiy Marcia Wallace
-
Jim Perry.
-
Art Fleming was born exactly 61 years before me, and I think we can include Jack Paar here as well.
May 1st is otherwise a pretty dull day for celebrity birthdays. Tim McGraw and the guy who founded Orange County Choppers is pretty much it. After that, you're down to Wes Welker and some hip hop singer who spells her name with a dollar sign.

What's wrong with Wes? He's a damn good receiver.

Have you never heard of Glenn Ford (http://\"http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0001229/\")? IMDb also lists Oscar-nominated Dan O'Herlihy as being a May 1 birthday; he and Art Fleming both appeared in the Gregory Peck movie MacArthur.
I suppose I could have mentioned Mack Daddy from Kris Kross (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu33Pg0iDL4\") instead. :-p
-
The only game show celebrity with whom I share a birthday is Peggy Cass.
I also share a b-day with Mr. T, Raymond Burr, Fats Waller, Dennis Day, and Biggie Smalls.
-
My B'day (Feb. 1), is shared with the late Bill Leyden, whose shows include:
It Could Be You
Your First Impression
Call My Bluff
You're Putting Me On (before Larry Blyden)
I also remember seeing him occassionally filling in for Monty Hall, on the original NBC Daytime run of LMAD.
-
The closest I can come is Steven Ford, who was a guest on a few game shows in the 1980s.
I also share one with Grace Jones, Joey Ramone, and André the Giant, for what it's worth.
-
The closest I come to here is the late Roger Christian (d. 1991); who was a veteran deejay at KRLA, (where he worked alongside Bob Eubanks and Wink Martindale) KFWB, (where he was reunited with the Winkster) and KHJ (during the Boss Radio launch in 1965).
A "stretch?"
Cordially,
Tammy

My birthday is really special! I share my birthday (March 16th) with 'Mr. 2 & 2' himself, Chuck Woolery. In addition, I almost forgot former 'Dog Eat Dog' host (and 'Hole in the Wall' co-host), Brooke Burns.
Other living celebrities celebrating the same birthday:
Jerry Lewis (Comic, actor, MDA Chairman)
Lauren Graham (Lorelei on 'Gilmore Girls', Speed-dial girlfriend on 'Seinfeld')
Erik Estrada (Ponch on 'CHiPs', pitchman of 'Estrada' sunglasses in Burger King commercial)
Kate Nelligan (Nolte's sister in 'The Prince of Tides').
-
I share mine with Anne Robinson of The Weakest Link.
G'bye!
-
My birthday is Valentines Day, February 14. So I share my birthday with Hugh Downs, who hosted Concentration way back when. Also born on Valentines Day:
Florence Henderson
Mike Bloomberg - current mayor of NYC
Meg Tilly
Pat O'Brien - Insider reporter
Jack Benny

JEALOUS.

November 30, Dick Clark.
-
November 8th - Morley Safer and Mary Hart, not game show hosts, but hosts nonetheless.
-
Phyllis Newman (panelist).

Don Adams (loved Inspector Gadget as a kid) & Gary Kroeger
-
As far as I know, no hosts.
Celebrities:
-Linda Evans
-Jameson Parker (he played Simon in Simon and Simon)
-Warren Moon
-Imogene Coca (veteran actress who the younguns might recognize as being strapped to the roof of the station wagon in National Lampoon's Vacation)
-Dennis Haskins (he appeared on Scrabble in the mid-80s)
-Delroy Lindo
-Kevin Nealon
-Alan Shepard (was he ever on one of the G-T panel shows?)
-Brenda Vaccaro
-Owen Wilson
It seems a few of these I've seen on one game or another...right now, it appears that Mr. Belding was the most notable game show appearance I could think of.
-
February 18th, so Bill Cullen and Vanna White.
-
I have the honor of sharing my birthday (July 4) with Geraldo Rivera, George Steinbrenner, the Van Buren twins (Dear Abby and Ann Landers), Calvin Coolidge, and Mitch Miller ("Sing Along with Mitch")...just to name a few. No game show hosts that I am aware of were born on this date.
-
March 11, so... George Gray.
