Title: Who can host LMAD?
Post by: jimlangefan on April 02, 2009, 09:26:35 PM: After reading the "Monty Hall says..." (http://\"http://gameshow.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=17573\"), regarding the possible comeback of LMAD, I got to thinking of who could host LMAD. I racked my brain and I couldn't come up with anybody who would be free. Before the thread veered off course, some suggestions of who COULDN'T do it were mentioned, but none of who could. So I figured I would throw it out here in a new thread. The only person I came up with, but threw out was Howie Mandel only because Deal or No Deal is somewhat up this alley. So, who do you think could host LMAD?

Title: Who can host LMAD?
Post by: whewfan on April 02, 2009, 10:00:10 PM: Marc Summers was considered at one point to host a LMAD revival that didn't happen, but I think he'd be a good choice, especially if Harvey could be the announcer/sidekick. :-)

I'd also say Tom Bergeron, but he seems content with Dancing with the Stars and AFV.

I think LMAD should be an hourlong show, and I think Monty should occasionally host segments as he did on the most recent LMAD, providing he doesn't unintentionally show how inferior the current host is in comparison.

Todd Newton might also work.

He's smart, he's funny, and based on his work on Iron Chef America he's clearly adept at reacting to what's going on in front of him.

Post by: BillCullen1 on April 03, 2009, 10:43:31 AM: Here's my list of candidates:

Bob Goen

Figuring they'll go with a younger host, though most of the "old school" emcees like Martindale, Eubanks and Woolery could handle it with no problem.

He's gonna have to literally batter them to keep them off of him.

On a different note, I'll bring up Marc Summers as usual, if only for his work on "What Would You Do?" He fits the audience participation role well.

The Alton Brown idea isn't bad, but my worries are two-fold: A) He's better suited as the Hattori role on ICA, but he has to be both Fukui-san and Hattori-san. B) I don't know if he'd want the role.

Post by: wheelloon on April 03, 2009, 09:23:25 PM: Throw my votes in for aforementioned Bob Goen and George Gray.

I'll also toss in a new name: Bil Dwyer. Sure, it's a long shot, but I was very pleased with his job on the new IGAS, and I think he's got the right attitude and charisma to do a show such as LMaD, which, IMHO, shouldn't have a host so over-the-top and caffeinated when the format, itself, and the contestants are supposed to be anyway. He'll keep the show moving but let the contestants get their 15 minutes of fame in, I'd like to believe.

Post by: gsgalaxy82 on April 04, 2009, 01:43:34 AM: I'm gonna go off the board with someone else: JD Roberto.
On Shop Til You Drop, we really didn't get to see the REAL JD I think. I've seen him do TPIR Live, and he was absolutely brilliant. LMAD is similiar to TPIR, as we've pointed out. IMO, he has the charisma, sociability, and excitement to host a show like LMAD. He needs a show that lets him be more hands on and move around, rather than a boring show where he's standing behind a podium the whole time.

But you let Vince Shlomi and Jimmy Pardo fly? No one outside the board knows who Jimmy Pardo is. Jimmy Pardo isn't sure who he is. As for Shlomi, unless he's got "the Sham Wow guy" attached to his name at all times, he just another pedophile looking freak.

Given that his attitude on ESPN involved a fair amount of "I can't believe I'm down to hosting a sports highlights show," that may not work out. I like him, but LMAD doesn't seem like the vehicle for witty and dry.

Could be. I just have a hard time believing a 25-year broadcast veteran would make such a mistake. You don't last 25 years in the business making mistakes like that.

(I'm also willing to entertain that his agent screwed up and failed to tell him to keep it hush-hush. But then, as an agent, you don't get high-profile clients like Dan Patrick by screwing up like THAT either.)

No, but I fully expect everyone else to.

That was no honest mistake, it's just unprofessional carelessness. Come on, do you really think he wasn't told to be confidential about it? I just can't imagine the producers saying "your audition is off because you said something about it, even though we never told you to not say anything."

They had to have told him to shut it, if they called it off due to that. My question is...did he ever really have an audition?

Come on, do you really think he wasn't told to be confidential about it? I just can't imagine the producers saying "your audition is off because you said something about it, even though we never told you to not say anything."

Millionaire81 - I wasn't there. Neither were you. Neither of us know if he were told or not. Do you know what was done and what was said?

I'm just trying to make the point that he *could* have made a mistake and if am wrong will gladly stand corrected on this matter. Hopefully, you'll do the same.

And we're closer to agreeing than you might think, because, while that is theoretically possible (also theoretically possible: the producers decided before auditioning Patrick to give the job outright to Gilbert Gottfried), Occam's Razor leads me to believe that that is not the case.

There's one case where I wish Occam's Razor would not be applied.

"You gave away $3,100 away in a Living Room set for $1,750 in Gilbert's Money Bank? YOU FOOL!"

That was no honest mistake, it's just unprofessional carelessness.

Sounds like you have the bottom line on everything, so I'll take your word for it.

I'm not really sure we're disagreeing as much as you think. I'm just saying it seems more likely one way than the other.

Either way, business-wise, he probably should have kept it to himself. What did he stand to gain by telling folks before he had the job? If I were a producer and heard he auditioned and didn't get it, I'd be inclined to think if this guy couldn't get a job hosting a game show what business does he have heading up a possible future project of mine?

Exactly. Dan Patrick has been employed in television and radio longer than you've been alive. He knows far more about the world of broadcasting than you do. He knows better than to make a careless mistake like that on the air, much less admit on the air a second time that he MADE such a blunder and that it cost him a job. And you're saying it's MORE likely that a guy with that kind of experience would do something like that and LESS likely that a guy with that much experience and a reputation for smart-aleck goofing around might just have been kidding?

Again, I think we're agreeing here. Trust me I think it was a joke also. I'm stating the argument as to why he knows better than to do that.

Can we just state this was shtick and move on?

Post by: wdm1219inpenna on April 25, 2009, 08:42:25 PM: I like the notion of Jimmy Pardo hosting it. He was pretty good on "Funny Money", and it's too bad it went off so fast. George Gray, something about him just rubs me the wrong way, he reminds me too much of Jim Carrey's Riddler from the Batman movie. Truth is, there aren't many game show hosts left to choose from, mainly because there are so few game shows on anymore. I'd love a chance to audition for a show like "Deal" or any game show, as a host.

Yeah, it was pretty grim. I kinda agree with him that Pardo could have had some potential, though.

Post by: inturnaround on April 27, 2009, 12:40:42 AM: The main thrust of Pardo's stand-up act is crowd work. He's probably the best stand-up doing it today and what is LMAD but crowd work?
