I was the worst game show host that ever lived, and I knew it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm hosting a quiz show, but I never considered myself a game show host.
I never in my life saw myself as a game show host. I don't want to be a traffic cop.
When they tried me out as a host on TV, I found that I just couldn't be that gregarious person. I was stranger than that.
I've often talked about that, and I've been asked that a couple of times and my feeling are that if you have a good show, a bad host will not even hurt the show.
I play a crazy talk-show host, but that's not me. It's like an actor playing a role.
You have to remember that reality shows capture your worst moments.
Some of the worst things that have happened in my career, like things getting leaked, have actually been what's best for me, because people knew when I was on that show that I was really growing up.
The second host that I had was an actress I didn't know named Susan St. James.
My dad was in radio; he was a broadcaster, and it was in the family. He hosted kind of a game show at one point on TV; he was the original host of 'Good Day New York,' and he hosted the Jerry Lewis telethon for 15 years.
I think anyone that grew up in the '70s and '80s grew up with Bob Barker and Wink Martindale and I think that was just always... when you were a game show host, you were the man of the hour.
