Bob Barker shit his pants
Chuck Woolery liked to play watersports on the wheel
The show Sony likes to call The Pat Sajak Show was really The Chuck Woolery Show, and the guy they claim is named Wheel of Fortune is really named Puzzlers. The real Wheel of Fortune's real name is NOT Love Connection nor Scrabble.
Richard Dawson's real name was Sir Veisaid.
Ray Combs liked to call Forkom.
Louie Anderson's friend was named Izid Updare.
Jack Barry told the audience not to f*ck with him in 1980.
The Price is Right had an old lady, Ida Mufferbids, who entertained the audiences, and privately entertained men for a price.
Hot Potato was played when Bill Cullen tossed potatoes at the contestants. It was a funny.
There was a John Davidson $10,000 Pyramid, that we all remember seeing.
There was a lot of swearing on game shows that was not edited out of GSN reruns.
MG/HS Hour is the only honest version of Hollywood Squares ever.
Everyone fears MG/HS Hour Theme With Lyrics by Erik Mokracek, and he was kicked out of the MG/HS audience numerous times for trying to sing it there.
Gamw Shows are stupid
And Bob Cobert wrote bad theme songs for gamw shows, except the Go Show.
Wheel 2000 is NEW NEW NEW!
A lot of game shows go AWOR.
ZHMTHOP

Did I leave out anything?

Here are some more:

Bob Barker isn’t the only host to soil their pants and make everyone gag from the odor. Some game show hosts piss their pants instead, including Drew Carey and Mayim Bialik.
Peter Tomarken is our God.
Richard Dawson may have been knighted, but he did some awful things when he hosted Feud, like giving a child a knife and shooting a gun into the air.
Other entertainers and assistants on game shows included Valerie White, May Wesee, Bea Hindthe-Currin, Reedwutz Updare, and Bea Itis.
Bil Kulin walked funny. He should’ve worn a clown nose, too.
Certain game show sound effects were voiced by people, including the timer for Clark/Cullen/Davidson Pyramid and the “think music” for the question in the center box on Tic Tac Dough. This practice also exists in fire alarm horns.

Some hosts were caught playing with themselves
This song goes in a loop-dee-loop
Some Internet forums on game shows are awful, including Game Show Forums and Game Show Follies.
Bil kulin walked funi
Sometimes game show josts wore torn clothes.
Not only were there entertainers for game shows, but local tv stations as well, including Katie Elay from Los Angeles.
There was a man named Ray Toast who hosted Family Food, and Gene Raymond hosted Mash Game.
Sometimes hosts were named for true show they’re most well known for hosting. For example, Family Feud originally hosted The Richard Dawson Show. The Art Fleming Show used to be hosted by Jeopardy, High Rollers, Reading Rainbow, Survivor, and Blossom. The Chuck Woolery Show was hosted by Wheel of Fortune and Puzzlers. Next season, the new host will be Click.
Vanna White has a twin named Valerie who serves as the “Vanna” for Family Feud. When Louie Anderson hosted Feud, Izid Updare. Was the board operator.
