Game Show Awards Poll: Best Game Show Host

By , About.com GuideApril 19, 2009

Follow me on:

We're choosing our own winners for the upcoming Game Show Awards on GSN, and today's category is "Best Game Show Host." Unlike many of the other categories, this one zeroes in on current (and recently departed/put on hiatus) game shows and their hosts.

From GSN's own Richard Karn, to Wheel of Fortune's co-hosts Pat Sajak and Vanna White, to NBC's golden boy Howie Mandel, the choices are quite varied. There's definitely a wide range of hosting styles to choose from, and it's important here to separate the show from the host in this case. There have been plenty of shows that were so-so in format, but made up for it with a terrific host (and, admittedly, that works both ways).

We're going to cover all of the categories and nominees with polls in the coming weeks, and then, just before the awards air in June, we'll announce our set of winners here to compare with those who are actually chosen during the awards ceremony. Here's a complete list of the categories and nominees.

If you missed the first poll, you can still vote in the Best Game Show category. And, to be perfectly clear, these polls have nothing whatsoever to do with the awards themselves, and are not part of the official viewer voting. To participate in the GSN sweepstakes and have your vote actually count for the awards, head over to GSN.com starting Monday April 20th.

lol, I couldn’t decide. I voted for about half of them. I voted for: Howie Mandel, Regis Philbin, Pat Sajak & Vanna White, Alex Trebek, Meredith Vieira. They are all really good in their own way.
