Game Show Awards Poll: Best Announcer

By , About.com GuideMay 15, 2009

Follow me on:

I've been complaining about some of the categories and nominees for the GSN Game Show Awards, but this is one that I absolutely love. Announcers are often overlooked, even though they provide the "voice" of the show, and it's nice to see at least a handful of them get some recognition.

Even though only six announcers have been given the nod here (and I have to assume that's because this is one of those categories that's only considering active nominees), it's still a tough choice for a vote. After a lot of consideration, I think my vote goes to Rich Fields, who has been featured a lot more lately on The Price is Right, and really does round out the cast nicely. But it's really a touch call!

The Game Show Awards is actually taping on Saturday, and there's still time to get tickets if you'll be anywhere near Beverly Hills tomorrow. The air date for the show is June 6th. We'll have some coverage of the awards, including photos from the red carpet and a report on the proceedings, courtesy of Alex Purnell, who is attending the event on my behalf. So check back for those!

As for these polls, we're counting our own votes to compare them to the actual winners, which we will not be spoiling for you! You can still vote in all of the previous polls, found here:

I hope charlie o donnel gets this.He has been doing this forever and seems like such a nice guy.Rich Fields ,on the other hand, has an ego bigger than the statue of liberty-an award is the last thing he needs!!
