Steve Allen.  Jack Carter, if you count pilots.  The '60's NBC series had quite a few, but since the shows can't be seen and the hosts are from shows you've never heard of, it would be somewhat pointless to list them.

Let me try (*denotes those who also appeared on MG'7X):

Arlene Francis*
Peter Lind Hayes (Alumni Fun)
Betty White*
Henry Morgan (Draw To Win)*
Robert Q. Lewis*
Tom Poston (Split Personality)*
Art James
Dick Clark
Nipsey Russell*
Don Ameche (Take A Chance)
Joe Garagiola*
Bill Cosby (1992 You Bet Your Life)
Jan Murray
Edgar Bergen (Do You Trust Your Wife?)
Bill Cullen*
Don Adams (Screen Test)*
Ed McMahon
Bert Parks
Soupy Sales*
Steve Allen*
Hugh Downs
Bill Leyden
Tom Kennedy*
Allen Ludden*
Peter Marshall*
Arte Johnson*
Bert Convy*
Garry Moore

Also, Ben Stein was on the 1998 version.

Hope that helps.....

Cordially,

Shows you've never heard of? SHOWS YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF???

This is the Inviison Board! There is no such animal!

Thanks for the list. Given a few hours and some beverage I would have pulled all those names.

My bad, It's just that I don't see a lot of discussion on which Bill Leyden or Jan Murray show is everyone's favorite around here.

Nothing technical about it. They both had their own series...is it because you don't like them?

I think he's suggesting it's a "technical" because Bauman and CNR were in fact affiliated with Match Game themselves. The OP forgets Bauman had "The Pop & Rocker Game" which qualifies him by himself (and he was on Match Game 7x as Bowzer before he had the MGHSH gig).

I don't have my EOTVGS handy...what game show did CNR host on his own?

"Sweethearts". And no, I'm not calling you that, not that there's anything wrong with that. :-)

BTW, you left the toilet seat up again. ;-)

I was thinking it was because Jon and Charles appeared on MG before ever being a host.  I would have put Elaine Joyce in this category as well.

MG/HS also had a few GS hosts...in addition to the aforementioned Steve Allen, Elaine Joyce, Dick Martin, Bill Cullen, CNR and Nipsey Russell, they also had:

Bob Eubanks
Bill Rafferty
David Ruprecht
Chuck Woolery

...while MG '90 had Jonathan Prince (before and during the run of his short-lived Quiz Kids Challenge) and Tom Parks.
