Here's what a certain personality was doing before getting into game shows, and even before his short-lived European resort city variety show...

Marathon John

(Honestly, despite the suggestion on said page, is there ANYONE who wants to see him back on TV in any form?)

Chuck Donegan (The Illustrious "Chuckie Baby")

To quote his daddy, "Smile when you say that, Mister."

I think Patrick Wayne was coached improperly on how to host a game show. Someone (Dan Enright, maybe?) told him to be overly enthusiastic and being an actor, Pat was just following directions. Dan should have told Pat to tone it down after the first week but obviously did not.

Pat was quite subdued on "The Monte Carlo Show," as I recall.
