RIP. The other day it was mentioned on Facebook that it was Monty Hall’s birthday and he’d be 102 if he were still with us today. So when thinking about the other game show hosts I grew up with we would have both Gene Rayburn (Match Game) and Allen Ludden (Password) at 105 and turning 106 later this year, Bert Convy (Tattletales) at 90 as of last month, Richard Dawson (Family Feud) turning 91 this coming November, Alex Trebek 83 last month as well, Bill Cullen (The Joker’s Wild) at 103, Tom Kennedy (Nightime Price is Right) 96, and Art James (Super Pay Cards) 94 in October.
Wink Martindale (Tic Tac Dough) who is still with us will be 90 in December.
Art Linkletter wound be 111.
Uncle Milty would be 115.

And Bob Hope would be 120.
