Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of game show hosts. A game show host is a profession involving the hosting of game shows. Game shows usually range from a half hour to an hour long and involve a prize. Prizes are typically money, love, or a trip. Game shows are not the same as reality competitions which span through weeks (i.e. American Idol, Survivor, etc.)
