Who was the best television gameshow host?

[Xenophon]

Why? Sale of the Century ran for a considerable number of years. Nicholas Parsons should be on any such list, of those left on Brucie would qualify, the rest are lightweights.

I am enjoying the passion about this, but, alas, SotC was on largely before time.

alright, who voted for Barrymore?

Come on, own up!

Bob Monkhouse and Les Dawson, "lightweights"? I don't think so.

You need to go and sit down and think about what you've done.

Leslie Crowther surely should feature for "The Price Is Right", the game show smash of the eighties. I think the OP knows nothing about game shows or their hosts.

I'm sorry my 10 does not agree with yours, TM. I quite liked Crowther myself actually.

Bet you would have loved to have heard, 'THE MASTER! COME ON DOWN!'

Dawson got my vote.

The late, great Mr. Monkhouse got mine, but LD would definitely be second choice.

Only if the prize was a whole new cycle of regenerations.
