"Top 10 Host/Announcer Duos" (past or present)

[groundchuck]

Every great game show host has to have a great announcer. What are your top 10 host/announcer duos? (I'm pretty sure that Gene Wood and Johnny Olson will get several mentions in the top 10 smile) Here's mine:

1) Bob Barker/Johnny Olson (The Price is Right)
2) Monty Hall/ Jay Stewart (Let's Make a Deal)
3) Richard Dawson/Gene Wood (Family Feud)
4) Bob Barker/Rod Roddy (The Price is Right)
5) Pat Sajak/ Charlie O'Donnell (Wheel Of Fortune)
6) Alex Trebek/ Johnny Gilbert (Jeopardy)
7) Peter Tomarken/ Rod Roddy (Press Your Luck)
8) Gene Rayburn/ Johnny Olson (Match Game 70's)
9) Dick Clark/ Johnny Gilbert (The $25,000/$100,000 Pyramid)
10) Bert Convy/Gene Wood (Super Password)

That would be similar to my top 10, but I'd switch it up a little.

Monty and Jay should be #1 and Marc Summers and Harvey should crack the list too

good list though

As long as Joey Fatone isn't on that list. I was listening to Harvey Feud the other nights and he was not a good announcer.

tell me about it Lingofan97, Joey Fatone or "FAT ONE" couldn't announce his way out of a paper bag if you gave him a chance.

Correct. Family Feud had a better chance to get a better announcer but didn't.

I'd definitely include Marc/Harvey on the list.
Would also include Brady/Thompson. One of the best current announcers on TV has got to be Thompson. He could make a dull moment into something exciting and "something that will have everyone talking at the dinner table".

Correct. Family Feud had a better chance to get a better announcer but didn't.

do you think Rich Fields has a better shot announcing Harvey's Feud then Fatone Lingofan97?

A homeless guy on the street would be a better announcer.

...or a crackhead (LOL!)

do you think Rich Fields has a better shot announcing Harvey's Feud then Fatone Lingofan97?

I don't know who Rich Fields is but probably YES because Joey Fatone is pretty bad.

I don't know who Rich Fields is.

Where the hell have you been? Let me help you.

There. Does that help jog your memory?

No, because I basically never watch The Price Is Right.

[CPOkilroy]

A few I might add are Peter Marshall/Kenny Williams and Ken Ober/Colin Quinn.

[patnvanna83]

what about Finn/Walberg or Finn/Bradley Baker?
