Losing contestants were sucked off the set in their leather recliners and don’t forget the final challenge – naming music videos from clips played on a pile of TVs.
This MTV game show classic combined pop culture with quirky host Ken Ober, a unique format and a set that was supposed to be Ken’s mom’s basement. The Dating Game saw a variety of hosts through the years but ended with the big cheese of game show hosts himself, Chuck Woolery. The Dating Game is the original matchmaking game show (Take that, The Bachelor!), starting in 1965 and running through 1980 with host Jim Lange, who introduced the show’s signature ending of blowing a kiss to the viewers. Who needs an elaborate and/or cheesy game show set when the whole thing can take place in a pimped out taxi cab? Hosted by comedian Ben Bailey, this game show on wheels is a clever diversion from your typical trivia show – and makes you wish the cash cab would pull up the next time you hail a taxi. Hosted by the most famous redneck of all, Jeff Foxworthy made the losing contestants fess up “I am not smarter than a 5th grader.” Oh, the misery. Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?Īre You Smarter than a 5th Grader is genius, right? The show challenged contestants to show their smarts with elementary school questions… only it’s not so easy to recall fifth-grade history when you’re all grown up. The Mole made a revival in 2008, but it couldn’t hold a candle to those first two seasons. Then he went and got all schmancy CNN newsman and The Mole took a dive into celebrity territory. The Mole had a great thing going during its first two seasons on the air with host Anderson Cooper. We’d love to see this one make a comeback – but spa vacations would have to replace a new washer and dryer, for sure. Queen for a DayĪn oldie for sure, but in its day, Queen for a Day allowed women to escape their everyday drudgery and become royalty (if only for a day) when the audience voted the biggest sob story with the applause meter. Check out this video of some whammy highlights: 21. Press Your LuckĪny game show where eager contestants shout out “Big bucks! No whammies!” has to make the list, despite the dorky animated “Whammy” character that took away contestants’ cash and prizes. Each show ended with a sloppy obstacle course. Hosted by super cheeseball Marc Summers (he of the Cosby sweaters), kids were put through their paces with trivia questions and physical challenges.
Nickelodeon Kids’ channel featured plenty of slime and other messiness with the kids’ game show Double Dare. Hosts: Marc Summers, Bruce (pre-Caitlyn) Jenner, Jason Harris But who didn’t love the courage of those contestants who could “name that tune in two notes” – for reals? 23. Name That Tune is the predecessor of shows like “Don’t Forget the Lyrics,” and yeah, looking back it is heavy on the cheese. Hosts: Red Benson, Bill Cullen, George DeWitt, Richard Hayes, Dennis James, Tom Kennedy, Jim Lange
Chuck’s interview of the couple’s date provided some of the best moments – especially when the dates were a total disaster. The audience voted on which date they thought was the perfect match and the contestant would reveal his/her choice. Super-suave Chuck Woolery hosted Love Connection, a different take on The Dating Game, where contestants would select their match from three potential dates.
