Hosting A Gameshow Revival / Following A Legend

[SeaBreeze341]

It may have been better to wait until after enough season 42 WOF episodes have come and gone to ask here, but I might forget.  Maybe it'll be better during a TV season full of milestones.

Steve Harvey is in his 15th year, and TPIR is celebrating 10,000 episodes, where Drew will be hosting.

I once had my doubts since it's not easy to follow a legend and/or host a revival.  To be honest, it's difficult to host period.  However, I think everyone has done a fantastic job.  In fact, it's gotten to the point where everyone has hosted to the point where they've made the gameshow they're hosting their own.

So, no failure, at least for me.  However, I tend to flip between Drew & Ken when it comes to the "best" job overall based on expectations.

As mentioned, it wasn't easy a long time ago picturing someone other than a host that I grew up watching & was once used to that guy.  Things & times have changed

I can only pick one???

Ken would be my top choice. He hit the ground running at J!-----even his guest-host run was great. I do still find it weird that he is "the mega-champ who ultimately became the host"......but his hosting talent speaks for itself.

Of course, there's Drew.......he's definitely settled in to the role (and has been for a while), and he's made TPIR his own. He hasn't tried to "be like Bob", and he shouldn't.

Strahan is "Pyramid"'s best host since Dick Clark (though Donny was definitely not the problem with his respective version by any means). I will admit that the most recent seasons of the show haven't impressed me as much as the earlier ones (I guess I could put the NY > LA move as the "jump the shark" moment), but it's not his fault.

Ryan’s first tapings happened today. A few of us were lucky enough to make it out there. Even out of the gate, he was excellent.
