Welcome to @ The Buzzr.  

So game show hosts had something to do before hosting a game show. What was it? I'll tell you about it once I return. 




We asked which Buzzr program should get a revival, welp, it was a dead heat between I've Got A Secret and....surprise, Card Sharks. we'll have another Buzzr Beater after we tell you about game show hosts in radio. 



So where did Game show hosts start in radio? Well, before being the first host of the modern Price is Right, Bob Barker was on KTTS-FM in Springfield Mo. 

Monty hall was on CKRC radio in his native Canada before he created Let's Make A Deal. 

Bud Collyer played Superman on radio before Beat The Clock and To Tell The Truth. 


John Daly was on NBC Radio before What's My Line hit the airwaves on CBS as a moderator. 

Bob Eubanks was on KACY radio in California before Card Sharks in 1986. 

Before being Mr. password, Allen Ludden hosted a talk show called Mind Your Manners on WTIC in Hartford. 

Gene Rayburn is known for Match Game, but he got started on WNEW in New York. 

I know there are more, but I got a question for you. Which Game show host who started in radio did we forget about? It's an open ended one and teh very first one, so we'll give you until October to find out because next month kicks off the Games of Supermarket Sweep, focusing on the mini games of Sweep before the Round Robin game.





That should end it.  anything you question or comment goes to me on social media or email and we'll explain. We will see you all @ The.....................
