This is the same poll as below, only it's for Brits. Who is your favorite game show host?

Mr. Blockbusters!

Thank goodness he didn't have a stroke and he is doing so well!

Aren't you glad he came all the way over there from South Africa?

Vernon is the host of "Family Fortunes" there. He is quite funny, and I'm glad I gave him a chance by seeing clips of him online.

We call it "Family Feud" here in America, and if you watch modern classic TV, you would recognize our host. His name is John O'Hurley, and he played Mr. Peterman on Seinfeld.

Believe it or not, Ant and Dec have been named the hosts of "Wanna Bet," which is the American version of "You Bet." Unfortunately, there was a pilot to air that show on CBS. CBS is the same network that airs "The Price is Right" here. The pilot did not sell. And even more unfortunately, the original host of that pilot, a gentleman by the name of Mark McEwen, is too ill to host that show. He had a stroke not too long ago, and he is only around 50!

I'm sure that I'll enjoy seeing Ant and Dec when "Wanna Bet" comes on, though!

Noel Edmonds should be added to the poll :)
He adds a slightly tacky Kitsch to British Deal or no Deal :)
Always a good laugh.

Can't say I really have one. Deal or No Deal is so repetitive that Edmonds has done it into the ground.

I think they're trying to do the same thing with "Deal or No Deal" in England as they're doing here. We try to use gimmicks also. Well, at least there's "Countdown" and "Mastermind" still on. They've been on forever!

I used to crack up watching Shooting Stars with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. I'm not sure if it really qualifies as a gameshow since it only features celebs.

There are plenty of "shooting stars" clips on YouTube if anyone wants to check them out.
