Are we counting the Gsn mash up for April Fools 2003?

Todd Newton on Russian Roulette
Kennedy on Wintutiton
Mark L Wahlberg on Fof
Graham on Whammy
Summers on Cram

Then 4 of them played on Lingo for charity with Todd Newton doing the voice over

Dagmar filling in for vacationing Jan Murray on Dollar A Second. Matt could probably fill a page with IGAS guest hosts, including Don McNeill, Bill Cullen, Betsy Palmer, and Henry Morgan.

Ralph Bellamy subbed for Garry Moore on IGAS, I believe it was a Memorial Day episode years ago.  At the end of show, it was mentioned by Henry Morgan, that Bellamy was a last-minute replacement for Eric Severeid, who was going to host, but suddenly became ill

Shadoe Stevens also subbed for John Davidson on Hollywood Squares.

Didn't Joan Rivers sub as well?  I know Jm J. Bullock did!

Jm J Bullock hosted an episode of Super Sloppy Double Dare which had Marc and Harvey playing against each other.
Marc filled in for Liza Koshy in the second half of a 2018 episode, when her laryngitis got out of hand.



Yes, thank you! That's probably my favorite episode of that whole version.

I also wondered about that, and wanted to mention it, but wanted to wait until I confirmed it on YouTube.

Well, here you (and I) go.

It seemed like Tom Kennedy's stint on Password Plus+ was perhaps originally intended to be a temporary fill-in situation. I seem to remember in one of the early Kennedy episodes he mentioned that Allen was recovering and they hoped he'd be back soon. I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong about this, however.

On The All New Let's Make a Deal, Dean Goss filled in for Monty for a couple of deals as an audition of sorts.

I believe early in the run, Rosie O Donnell subbed for Bergeron for a round or two on Squares.

I remember Alf sub hosting for John Davidson on Hollywood Squares

I remember that. I thought Alf did a better job than John.

She did. It was in the first couple weeks.

Billy Bush (4/21-4/25/2008)
Leeza Gibbons (6/23-6/27/2008)
Cat Deeley (2/16-2/20/2009)
Samantha Harris (5/11-5/15/2009)
Shaun Robinson (6/8-6/12/2009)
Regis Philbin (11/30-12/4/2009)
Steve Harvey (4/12-4/16/2010)
John Henson (5/10-5/14/2010)

Thanks Chelsea! More hosts than I remembered, and a few names I didn't realize or outright forgot.
