While we're in the Jackpot! well

I don't know what I just watched, but I suddenly have an uncontrollable urge to go buy a camera.

I think you could have eleven questions on a significantly large card. I certainly would not want Jack to have to remember lines as if he were in a stage play--even if you're only ever asking two questions, put them on paper as a failsafe.

Wheel of Fortune: an episode from Season 13 (1995-96) specifically -- this is the first year of Harry Friedman's tenure and their first year at Sony. It's also the last full year using the "classic" formula of the show.

Jeopardy!: It's the granddaddy of quiz shows in North America for a reason. I'd pick day 2 of the 2017 TOC finals with Alan, Buzzy, and Austin.

The $100,000 Pyramid (Clark): Any episode with a $100,000 win, preferably one that's come toward the end of the "tournament" week where there have been some close calls. The best game developed for television being played at its best.

Match Game: The School Riot episode comes to mind, but really any week from the mid-'70s the where most of the panel are semi-regulars. Even a Match Game PM from that time where everybody's gone off the rails.

Russian Roulette: This is a little off-the-board, but it's a sentimental favourite. The music package is one of the best ever used on a game show, adding a foreboding undercurrent to what's a fairly straightforward game with a fun gimmick. Burton Richardson's announcing is brilliant. Mark L. Walberg perfectly straddles the line between "hey, I'm on the contestant's side here" and "people falling through a hole in the floor never gets old". All of the above, combined with a big-money bonus round? Sold.

Ray Combs: He was a lot of fun and was great with the contestant interactions, and I loved when he did the fake fast money.

Richard Dawson was a great host and was also funny, and he wanted the contestants to win. I hated the kissing part.

Louie Anderson: His version was the first time I watched the show, and I thought he was great for his first season and half, and after the second season, he looked like he was getting bored hosting the show and the whole blackmail thing was getting to him.

John O Hurley: I thought he did a great job as host and had some funny moments.

Steve Harvey I thought in the beginning he was funny and the show lacked a funny host for a while. Steve hosting got tiring after a while with his same lines and the show just feels rushed. (The same 20 second theme piece,No proper family introductions.) I just really think the show is stale.

Richard Karn: He wasn't a bad host. He did a good job moving the show along and did a great job interacting with the families. Richard wasn't a comedian, so when a funny moment happened, he tried to be funny, or he missed the mark.

Al Roker: I tied him with Richard Karn, He wasn't a bad host; he kept the show moving and did a great job interacting with the families; he was just corny, and there were moments he tried to be funny or missed the mark.

Now that we've had nearly 15 years(!) since anyone not named Steve Harvey has hosted Family Feud, how would you power rank the hosts? Has your opinion changed on how any of them hosted?

1. Richard Dawson- I just don't know how not to give him #1. Kissing aside, he was top notch at contestant interactions and knew how to spin a good wrong answer.

2. Ray Combs- Call me partial because he was the host I grew up on. But he's the one guy who struck a nice balance between being funny and lending the show tension when the game started to pick up.

3. Steve Harvey- I could make the argument that Seasons 1-2 of Steve's run were some of the best comedic work done on a game show. But when the show took off and the writers started feeding him questions designed to elicit a response (versus letting Steve just be funny) the quality suffered. He still has some great moments though.

4. Louie Anderson- Really wish that Louie didn't have his demons during this stage of his life cause when he was good, man he could be really good. Would have loved to see Baskets-era Louie Anderson host the show.

5. Richard Karn- In retrospect, I think Karn was a decent host. Didn't care for his catchphrases, but now that there's a lot of distance between him and this job, I can look objectively and say he had a good time and interacted well with his constestants. He's just not higher because the people above him were iconic.

6. John O Hurley- He was such a breath of fresh air versus Karn, but his hosting style always made me feel like he thought he was above hosting the show.

7. Al Roker- I didn't think he was bad, but the sample set is too small to say whether he was better than anyone else.
